Tanzania is a dream destination for adrenaline junkies, beach lovers, and couples looking for a romantic getaway. Dar es Salaam, the country’s main gateway, is the perfect starting point to explore this East African gem.

The Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater offer some of the best safari experiences in the world. What's more, Zanzibar’s white-sand beaches and bright-blue waters provide the perfect vibe to unwind. For thrill-seekers, Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s tallest peak, promises a once-in-a-lifetime challenge, while Lake Manyara is famous for its flamingos and tree-climbing lions.

What to Do in Tanzania?

A safari in Tanzania is incomplete without spotting Africa’s legendary 'Big Five': lions, leopards, elephants, buffalo, and rhinos. For a cultural experience, visit a Maasai village to connect with the country’s rich heritage. If you love the ocean, snorkeling or diving in the Mnemba Atoll offers breathtaking marine life. You can do it all with Civitatis!
