Located in East Africa, Tanzania is a country of natural splendour, diverse cultures, and fascinating history. It's home to Africa's highest peak, Mount Kilimanjaro, and lies entirely south of the equator, making it the most populous nation in that location. The country is dotted with a plethora of exquisite landscapes, including the African Great Lakes region, the mountainous and densely forested northeast, and the Serengeti plains known for their legendary safaris.

Tanzania's rich heritage is a testament to its vibrant cultural mosaic, with around 120 ethnically, linguistically, and religiously diverse groups. The country's name is a blend of Tanganyika and Zanzibar, two states which unified to form the present-day Tanzania. Once a centre for the East African slave trade, Zanzibar now enchants visitors with its history and beauty, while the mainland, Tanganyika, has roots in German and British colonial rule.

Today, Tanzania is one of the safest and most politically stable African nations. It's a country where ancient humanity meets modern tourism, with traces of human and hominid fossils found in the famous Olduvai Gorge. Irrespective of whether you're keen on experiencing its wildlife, exploring its historical sites, or immersing yourself in local culture, Tanzania offers a unique and unforgettable getaway.

When to visit Tanzania

The best time to visit Tanzania largely depends on your interests. If you want to witness the breathtaking wildlife spectacle that is the wildebeest migration, be sure to visit in June or July. Conversely, you may want to explore the wonders of the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater any time of the year, as these locations offer year-round wildlife viewing.

Tanzania's dry season, which runs from late June to October, is generally considered the best time for a visit. During this period, the weather is pleasant and the country's majestic landscapes are easy to navigate. Furthermore, the vast range of safari options on offer ensures that there's an adventure to suit every visitor, whether you're travelling solo, as a family, or as part of a group. To truly experience Tanzania in all its glory, plan your journey and book your accommodation with Lycafly today.
