Tanzania

Exotic and enchanting, the Republic of Tanzania is truly a jewel in Africa's crown. Despite possessing some of the continent's most alluring and famous destinations including the idyllic archipelago of Zanzibar, majestic Mount Kilimanjaro and the Serengeti, travelling in Tanzania offers a largely unspoilt and authentic experience. Political stability and a genuinely welcoming and friendly population also ensure that Tanzania is one of the safest and most pleasureable African countries for visitors whether they're exploring for the first time or returning to enjoy more of Tanzania's abundant treasures.

From its exhilarating former capital city Dar es Salaam ('home of peace'), once a fishing village and now a bustling centre of commerce, culture and entertainment, to the peace and natural splendour of the Selous Game Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to some of the highest populations of wild animals in Africa, Tanzania is a destination that will delight every traveller.
