Things to do in Tanzania
Game drives
Andrew Appleyard, from our supplier Exodus, explains why this is one of his favourite things to do in Tanzania: “For me, it is one of the top five wildlife sights in the world, it’s quite unbelievable. You can see the migration from miles away as there’s a huge spiral of vultures in the sky where the river crossings are. You’ve got the huge Nile crocodiles there which only actually eat twice a year – during the river crossings. They have one of the lowest metabolism rates of any animal. They’ll bury the wildebeest or zebra in log jams in the river so they nicely soften up, then just tear the meat off. You can actually smell it from quite a long way off – all the carcasses on the river.”
For wildlife fans who fancy something a little different, the southern parks have populations of African wild dog, a rare creature with strangely pretty “painted fur”. Or head to the shores of Lake Tanganyika to track chimpanzees.

Beaches
Zanzibar is the biggest and best-known of all Tanzania’s islands; its Indian Ocean beaches are some of the best places to kick back after a dusty week on safari – or scaling the chilly heights of Kilimanjaro. Break up your beach days with trips to the atmospheric alleyways of Stone Town or the protected Jozani forest, which shelters endemic red colobus monkeys.
Mafia and Pemba Islands are a secluded divers’ paradise, with green turtles, whale sharks and pristine reefs found offshore. Few visitors sail across to these islands, so you’ll have their exquisite beaches virtually to yourself – shares with the odd fisherman and an occasional turtle hatchling. Chumbe is quieter still – a private island with no more than 14 guests at any one time. True castaway bliss.
