Tanzania

Tanzania is easily among the most biodiverse locations on the planet. From the savannas teeming with acacia to the over 800 miles of Indian Ocean-facing coastline, it’s easy to see why tourists flock here for their inaugural trip to Africa. If you’re not afraid of the rainy season, however, you can avoid the safari crowds and get immersed in wild Africa. Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater are must-sees and with just a 15-minute flight, you can be in Tanzania’s neighboring island, Zanzibar. This famous island, also called “Spice Island” because of the variety of spices it produces, is a combination of white sand beaches and luxurious beachfront properties. The town invites you to relax with the warm air lifting from the coastline, shop in the bustling marketplace, or opt into guided tours and ocean expeditions.
