Have you always wanted to go on an African wildlife tour? Then Tanzania is the place for you. Tanzania is one of the biggest East African countries. Home to miles and miles of protected national parks and reserves, it is one of the most astonishing locations to enjoy the natural environment. It is one of the best destinations for visitors to enjoy.

Tanzania is grounds to 13 protected game reserves and national conservation areas, including the Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Conservation area. Over 3 million big mammals make their haven in these areas. Smaller areas such as Mikumi, are haven to one of the highest populations of forest elephants. With animals in continuous migration, the area has been given World Heritage Status. Tanzania is a favored destination for safaris, game viewing, and mammal tours, because of the large amount of sheltered habitat. On tour you can see the highest density of lions in Africa as well as take a trip to the Olduvai Gorge, known as the birthplace of man.

Tanzania is known for more than just its beautiful parks and reserves. You’ll see miles and miles of white sandy beaches along the Indian Ocean. Snorkeling, fishing and sailing are just a few ways to enjoy the warm waters. If playing at the beach isn’t for you, get over to see the third tallest mountain in the world. Mount Kilimanjaro is the most popular mountain anywhere. Every year, thrill seekers and experienced climbers attempt to attack the tallest point in all of Africa.

The government city of Tanzania is Dodoma. Tradition and culture meet with the new world in the dusty area of Dodoma. It is a complicated place for tourists to find with its bad roads and tough conditions. The most popular city in Tanzania sits on the port and is called Dar es Salaam. There you can get day to day business taken care of, or catch a ferryboat to Zanzibar.

For the real beauty that is the African continent, Tanzania is filled with culture and miles of sheltered land. As a traveler, you need to be ready with all the proper documents so that you can enjoy your tour without any worry or problems. Before leaving on your tour, be sure you have the correct passports and travel visa for your length of stay. Tanzania visas can take up to 1 to 2 months, so be sure you apply in advance. Assuming you are applying for Tanzania visas as a one-time visitor, the charge can range up to $50.
