Tanzania as a prime tourist destination

When it comes to wildlife, Tanzania has much to offer. All members of the Big Five are found in the country's wildlife areas which are as follows:

Serengeti National Park - endless plains of the North
Ngorongoro Wildlife Area - a concentration of animals by the herd
Lake Manyara National Park - tree climbing lions found here
Mount Kilimanjaro - Africa's roof top and world's tallest free standing mountain
Tarangire National Park - birdlife in plenty
Selous Game Reserve - elephants by the thunder
Mikumi National Park - most accessible park in Tanzania

The history of the place coupled with the hospitality of the Tanzanians creates a good recipe for a safari.

The climate of the place is also great.

Tanzania has temperate to warm weather throughout the year, with high levels of humidity on the coast and dry on the central plateau. The heavy rains last from March to June. The hot, dry weather in January and February attracts the most tourists. 

The best time to visit the Serengeti is from January to March when the grazers are calving and there are plenty of lion around, or to witness the wildebeest migration to and from Kenya which occurs at the beginning of the dry season and returns again with the first rains, usually the beginning of June and mid-November. Zanzibar has a warm and humid climate year-round and its coastal resorts are tempered by sea breezes. The island is best avoided in April and May, the rainy season.

CURRENCY

There is no restriction on the amount of foreign currency you may bring into any of the East African countries. It is advisable to change the foreign currency into local currency only in banks and forex bureaus. Before you leave you can change the local currency back into your currency but you may be asked for the initial exchange receipt. US$ are acceptable for payments in most tourist establishments and are more commonly used than the Euros. Many hotels and all National Parks quote their rates in US$ for visitors. 

SECURITY

Tanzania is a peaceful country in its cities and out in the game parks. However, there are precautions one should take when spending one's holiday here, as you would in any unfamiliar area. Never show off your valuables, keep your money and passport in the hotel's safe. Ask your driver or hotel front desk which areas are not safe, and stay away from them. Always take a taxi after dark.
