What to do ?
Animal kingdom, nature untamed, Tanzania goes back to the origins of man. However, before you venture into national parks, Dar Es Salaam, the capital, you will connect with the diversity of cultures: the port where dhows and cargo side by side, the market Kariakoo, the national museum, botanical gardens, the Oyster Bay Beach are some highlights of the visit.
The park's Kilimanjaro is obviously an essential step of the journey: mythic volcano with snow, surrounded by forests containing leopards, buffaloes and elephants, it serves as a backdrop for hiking magnificent but difficult. Other legendary place, the Serengeti where you will contemplate the unforgettable spectacle of the wildebeest migration, but the giraffes and lions. Do not forget your binoculars. The island of Zanzibar is another undeniable attraction off the coast of Tanzania: a ballad in the old city of Stone Town with its bazaars and mosques, visiting the palace Marhubi, the forest Jozani, drop on beaches paradise, the discovery of the construction site dhows Nungwi, dolphins Kizimkazi, will leave you amazed memories. |
