The beautiful and enigmatic African country of Tanzania beckons you with its alluring aura embellished by mountainous caverns, the mystical nature of numerous National Parks, rich culture, historical extravagance and the picturesque snow-capped peak of Mount Kilimanjaro. From exhilarating safaris to exhilarating drives through the lush mountains, Tanzania provides its tourists with an experience that leaves an indelible impression on the mind.
Gaze at the majestic halo of white snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro at an elevation of some 19,340 feet amid the glory of the tropics. A trekking and safari tour to this stunning place is a highly anticipated and pleasurable experience that remains unforgettable for a lifetime.
If Mount Kilimanjaro gives you a sense of serenity and calm, the grand National Museum of Dar es Salaam reflects the exalted culture of Tanzania: the myriad eras such as the Kilwa period, English colonial rule, the harrowing tale of the slave trade and the end emancipation and independence. Traditional and ethnic items such as jewellery, headdresses and musical instruments adorn the Museum’s shelves, while the garden area comes alive with effigies of the twelve Tanzanian martyrs who bravely met their deaths while shelling the Embassy of the United States in Dar es Salaam. .
The Pugu Hills Forest Reserve is no less fascinating, given its importance as the source of the Msimbazi River and the countless animals it supports. A highly protected and preserved area, one can see cheetahs, lions, hippos, black and white colobus monkeys, wild boars and groups of giant elephants roaming amidst the green wilderness of the forest. If you are especially passionate about hiking, the trails along the nearby town of Kisarawe offer excellent opportunities for hiking and trekking overlooking picturesque Dar es Salaam.
Nature lovers will simply gasp at the magnificence and bounty of Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. Derived from the Maasai name, the Serengeti, true to its meaning of ‘endless plains’, is a mesmerizing sight to behold, with lush green plains of short grass stretching far and wide. Amidst this sprawling vista of verdant landscape inhabit millions of animals such as zebras, gazelles, big cats and a plethora of other animals, making it a favored terrain for the Great Migration. The rippling, crystal clear water of the Grumeti River is simply a splendid sight as you watch the animals in their attempts to migrate to this dazzling niche.
Tanzania is packed with such outstanding sights, and visiting this country is something one will cherish for a lifetime.
