to travel to Tanzania to visit the wonderful national parks and reserved areas

VISA done, but what to visit in Tanzania, a country rich in beautiful safari parks, game reserves, mountains, and lakes.
Therefore, choosing the tourist attractions you want to visit among all sites
may be somehow tricky!
No problem,
we are going to make it easy for you. We have summarized a list of the top 5
tourist attractions you must visit during your stay in Tanzania.
1.
Dar es Salaam
Dar es Salaam is the erstwhile capital of
Tanzania. It is one of the largest cities in the Country. There are several tourist attractions which you
can visit and enjoy, like beautiful beaches. The most exciting thing about Dar
es Salaam is its exciting nightlife at glorious beaches. If you are a food and
drink lover, Dar es Salaam will be a fantastic option for you!
2. Lake Manyara
National Park
Lake Manyara National is considered a bird
watcher's paradise as you can watch beautiful flamingoes here. It is an
excellent destination to watch wildlife here because two-third of its area is
covered by water.
Lake Manyara National Park is home to a large
population of Elephants and Hippos. Another exciting thing in Lake Manyara is
the population of tree-climbing Lions. You can spot many Lions climbing trees
at all times. Moreover, Lake Manyara has the world's largest population of Baboons. Enjoying mountain bike tours and canoes is not a bad idea when
visiting this Tanzania destination!
3.
Zanzibar
Zanzibar, which is also known as Unguja, is the
best holiday destination for island lovers. Stone Town (which is the Capital of
Zanzibar) is a UNESCO World Heritage Site where you can closely observe
different Arabian-style buildings.
Islands of Zanzibar are full of adventure. If
you are a swimming lover, no place is better than the azure blue waters of
Zanzibar. You can spot dolphins playing you close by during swimming.
Moreover, there are many beaches and snorkeling zones in
Zanzibar, which make it a perfect destination for nightlife. You can spot
beautiful coral reefs, colorful marine life and explore
many small, nearly deserted islands virtually unvisited by tourists as
well.
Another attraction of note is the annual “Zanjibar
Film Festival”, which is considered to be the largest
art and cultural festival in Africa dedicated to the exhibition of films, music
and Panorama. The
Zanjibar Film Festival takes place every year, during the first two weeks of
July.
The festival not only projects different movies to
the audience, but also holds competition and workshops! The festival is
attended not only by the locals, but also thousands of foreign travelers. Unfortunately,
last year, in 2020, the festival had to be cancelled due to COVID.
4.
Mount Kilimanjaro
With a height of 5895 meters, Mount Kilimanjaro
is the highest point in Africa. It is a white-capped peak that attracts
tourists, particularly hikers and backpackers.
A wide range of vegetation and landscapes is
waiting for you with stunning rainforests. The best activity you can do at
Mount Kilimanjaro is to climb the mountain through several routes. Usually, it
takes 6-11 days to climb the mountain through 7 different routes.
Not only the trek, Kilimanjaro Marathon held in end February/ beginning of March is another crowd puller for Tanzania. Backed by Tanzania Tourist Board, probably this is the only event which does not invite professional runners. Every year an amateur runner wins, so next winner can be YOU or ME as well!
5. Serengeti
National Park
Serengeti is one of the most famous parks in
Tanzania due to its expansive wilderness of open plains and various Wildebeests. You can spot hundreds of thousands of Zebras
there. You can also see all the big five here with dangerous waters of the Mara
and Grumeti rivers.
Over and above these 5 spots, there is Lake Tanganyika, 2nd largest and longest freshwater lake. Stretching to 676 km. in length and 50 km. wide, the lake is lifeline of Western Tanzania and is much revered by the locales.
Shared by 4 countries, Lake Tanganyika is house to Nile crocodiles and probably to most famous giant Gustave crocodile.
For Information - 3 initial letters were clipped from the words Tanganyika and Zanjibar, combined together and suffixed with "ia" to form state of TANZANIA in the year 1964.
Final words:
Tanzania is
rich in beautiful tourist attractions, including Mount Kilimanjaro, various
national parks, beautiful beaches of Zanzibar and opulent culture is another
feature to be explored here.
However, you
must have your Tanzania e-Visa to see these beautiful places. You can get your
Tanzania e-Visa by applying online within 10 business days.
