For jungle safaris, no country in the world comes in close contention
for the top spot with the East Africa Community that comprises of
Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi. Of these 5 countries,
Tanzania is an important member, mostly because of its long coastline,
diverse wildlife and stable political environment. Below is a list of
the top ranked safari adventures in Tanzania.
This archaeological site has time and again featured in the global
headlines for having the oldest samples of remains of modern man. It has
been referred as the cradle of mankind for being the place where man
originated. Trust me; you would also love to know where the 7 billion
earth residents started from.
Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa and the highest
freestanding mountain in the world. It has 3 volcanic cones Kibo,
Mawenzi, and Shira) that are popular with hikers and mountain climbers.
The surrounding scenery that comprises of grasslands, mountain lakes and
streams, tropical forests and moorland is enough enticement for any
tourist to attempt the climb.
If you love the wildlife, there is no better place on earth than Serengeti National Park.
The park is highly famous for the Great Wildebeest Migration. The African 'Big Five' and a host of other animals such as giraffes,
gazelles, antelopes, zebras, hyenas, monkeys and baboons and many more
exist in the park.
Lake Tanganyika is the world's second deepest Lake (1,470 meters)
after Lake Baikal in Siberia (1,637 meters). It is also the second
largest fresh water lake by volume after Lake Victoria. This makes it
part of the Great lakes region that comprises of Eastern African
countries. Fishing at this lake would be an experience you will never
forget. If I were you, I would catch a tilapia fish and have it cooked
for supper.
Another destination that most foreign tourists only here of when in
the country is Lake Manyara National Park. You will be surprised to know
that this park has the highest concentration of African leopard in the
region. The stealthy animal is hard to find, but in this park, you are
more likely to see it than the average East African Park.
Tanzania is not yet an expensive tourist destination. However, you
are well advised to book early as you are not the only one in the know
of this secret. Tourist accommodation facilities are almost always
spread thin.
