Tanzania is a great place to holiday but several news articles on the safety of tourists may cause others to be worried about the country as a holiday destination.
Group travel is one of the best ways to travel on holidays to Tanzania. It’s certainly good if you are travelling on your own and want to feel the security that will get from travelling with others. You’ll find that organised trips are good for transportation too. It’s one less thing to worry about otherwise the public transport is not necessarily reliable. Joining a Tanzania holiday tour group is also good in terms of meeting new people and making friends. Be prepared though if you are not used to spending holiday time with others – a few weeks can feel like a long time to spend with people you don’t know. You will be eating, cooking, sleeping together as well as spending the day with each other!
According to the official website of the Tanzania High Commission, you will need to get a visa before you embark on a trip to the East African nation if you are a British citizen. You will also need to get a yellow fever vaccination for travel in Tanzania and Zanzibar which is highly recommended as an additional trip. It’s a truly beautiful island and one of the highlights of a trip to Tanzania.
So what can you expect from a holiday in Tanzania? One of your highlights may include seeing the highest peak in Africa, as Tanzania is the home to Mount Kilimanjaro. Maybe you’ll even choose to climb it with the many other tourists that visit each year.
The thing that may also make your Tanzania holiday memorable is your guide. They are normally super friendly with all the travellers, have a lot of local and historical knowledge and get you from A to B every day without worry. They can also give you lots of tips and answer any of your queries.
Tanzania is one of the highly recommended Africa holiday destinations. The culture is very different so go with an open mind and do as much reading as you can beforehand so you know what to expect. You will have to watch out for people who hassle you because you’re a tourist but it is more of a nuisance rather than a danger.
Most Tanzania holidays last for about two weeks but to truly experience all that it has to offer, you’ll want to stay longer!
