About Tanzania

Tanzania is renowned for its stunning scenery, abundant wildlife, and rich cultural heritage. It shares borders with Kenya and Uganda to the north, Rwanda, Burundi, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the west, and Zambia, Malawi, and Mozambique to the south. To the east lies the Indian Ocean, where the beautiful island of Zanzibar, part of Tanzania, is a popular tourist destination.

The country is celebrated for its diverse wildlife and hosts some of Africa’s most iconic national parks and game reserves. The Serengeti National Park, famed for the Great Migration of wildebeests and zebras, draws safari enthusiasts globally. The Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, presents an exceptional concentration of wildlife within its volcanic caldera.

Beach Vacations in Zanzibar

Zanzibar, officially known as the Zanzibar Archipelago, is a semi-autonomous region of Tanzania located in the Indian Ocean, about 25 to 50 kilometers off the Tanzanian coast. It comprises several islands, with Unguja (commonly referred to as Zanzibar Island) and Pemba being the largest and most popular.

The best time to visit Zanzibar’s beaches is during the dry season from June to October, when the weather is warm, sunny, and ideal for swimming and snorkeling. December to February, the short dry season, is also a good time for beach vacations.
