In February 2021, I had the chance to explore Tanzania and Zanzibar.
A 10-day trip to Tanzania can be so fulfilling. Tanzania has everything that travelers look for. From beautiful beaches and islands like Zanzibar to wildlife reserves and high mountains. The best time to visit Tanzania is from June to September. So, if you are planning to head over and spent the best family time, here is a full guide to your 10-day itinerary.
When we talk about Tanzania, you
cannot miss Zanzibar. Walking on slippery rocks for hundreds of meters
is not your typical boat tour experience. Zanzibar is both adventurous
and beautiful. Snorkeling is definitely the thing for you if you love
adventure. Otherwise, just relax and calm yourself on the beautiful Spice
Island.
The magnificent villas and the
different beaches on the Islands make it a picturesque destination. Do relax,
but don’t forget to capture the beauties of Zanzibar.
The Tarangire national park has the 2nd–
highest wildlife concentration in the country. Furthermore, it is one of the
largest populations of elephants in the world. But, you can see other wildlife
animals like zebras, gazelles, wildebeest, giraffes, etc. Moreover, there is a
pretty good chance that you spot lions and cheetahs too. It’s one of the best
things to do in Tanzania.
- Ngorongoro
Conservation Area:
The UNESCO World Heritage site
is definitely worthy of your time. This vast land offers plains, woodlands,
lakes, and volcanos. Also, there are some of the best viewpoints that you
cannot miss on your 10 days trips. Apart from breathtaking views, the Safari is
quite popular. We recommend spending the afternoon on a walking safari on the
rim of the crater.
Plenty of lions, giraffes, ostriches,
and hippos welcome you. Along with exploring wildlife, you can explore nature
here as well. Although the drive is pretty long-reaching Mara river will take
away all your tiredness. Enjoy a well-deserved beer with the beautiful sunset
and magnificent views.
- Gombe
Stream National park:
Located on the shores of Lake
Tanganyika in western Tanzania is popular as a game reserve. The main
attraction is definitely the 100-plus chimps. Apart from viewing the creatures,
you can do trekking and swimming here. Also, the tropical forest holds a lot
more than just chimps.
While in Tanzania, you cannot miss
climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is the
tallest freestanding mountain. There is no wildlife but you can see the
majestic snowcapped mountains in awe.
The Arusha region of Tanzania
has Lake Natron. Lake Natron is popular because of the high levels of
alkalinity. The pinky-red hue of the lake can awestruck you if flamingos and other
salt-loving micro-organisms failed to do so.
Other Things to Do in
Tanzania:
The enormous diversity of landscape
and flora stretching across Tanzania offers a lot more opportunities.
You can go bird, watching, explore the stone town and lake Victoria. Manyara
National Park, Mafia Island is also worthy of your time. Make sure to enjoy
every bit of time spent in Tanzania.
Conclusion:
A 10 day trip to Tanzania
is enough to enjoy the luxuries and beauties. The wildlife of Tanzania, culture,
and history attracts tourist every year. And, it holds everything that someone
might have on their bucket list. To cut off most of the things on your bucket
list, Tanzania is the best place.
