How to enjoy a safari in Tanzania
Tanzania is a land full of extreme diversities that can best be explained with one word; heavenly. This is so because the experience one has once in this beautiful land is the sensation of extreme peace and harmonious promises both in tourism and in people. Tourism in Tanzania is extensive as is the country in terms of culture and massiveness of the land. Having a safari in Tanzania will mean that one can choose to visit a wide range of areas that have the best accommodation along with the best wildlife.
Traditionally, Tanzanian safaris have concentrated in the north, which is home to the Serengeti National Park. There is also the famous and symbol of Tanzania, Mount Kilimanjaro. The north is popular with tourists mainly because of the eighth wonder of the world, which is the migration of more than a million wildebeest from Kenya to Tanzania and vice versa. Many love to watch the hunting of wildebeest and other herbivores by the five big cats and other predators.
However, a Tanzania safari will include other areas of this great land and a person should be prepared and prepare for a real jungle safari. Ruaha National Park will be one of those places where you can observe a wide variety of herbivores in addition to some felines that dominate the park. The park is located in the southern part of Tanzania. Going further south, you’ll land in the Usungu National Reserve, which showcases both grazing animals and felines. A tour of the bush is ideal here.
The Mahale Mountains National Park would be the other ideal tourist destination. The park exhibits a large number of chimpanzees and has an equatorial climate because it is located on the shores of the great beauty of Lake Tanganyika. It’s just 60 miles south of the exact spot where Stanley uttered the now immortal words, ‘Dr. Livingstone, I presume? The park is ideal for lovers of nature walks through the woods and would be the ideal distraction from the traditional tours of the north.
Planning a Tanzania safari would mean that one gets to locate destinations to frequent or stop off before embarking on the journey. This is mainly because the distances are extreme and the roads, although they are fine if you use a 4X4, are not very ideal if you are going to drive 100 kilometers on land.
The most extraordinary thing that every visitor learns here is the fact that Tanzania has more than 100 ethnicities and each and every one of them is at peace with each other, indeed the love that flows through this land is brotherly. So it is no wonder that every tourist, sitting at home aiming to list the best things about Tanzania, finds themselves listing the hospitality of the Tanzanians. A Tanzanian safari will not succeed, at least in terms of enjoyment and learning about the land itself, if you do not interact with the locals. Tanzanian tourism is surely headed for greater heights.
