Beaches
End your journey on the Indian Ocean. Zanzibar brings white sand, Stone Town and spice farms. Mafia and Pemba are quieter islands known for diving and whale sharks. On the mainland, Pangani and Saadani offer long, empty beaches where the bush meets the sea.

Climb Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa at 5,895 m, with no technical skills needed. Mount Meru is a quieter climb and good preparation. For gentler days, walk village to village in the Usambara Mountains, or climb the active volcano Ol Doinyo Lengai at sunrise.

Best Time to Visit Tanzania
Tanzania is a year-round destination. The main safari season runs from mid-May to October, when the country is dry and wildlife is easiest to see. November to February is warm and green, with newborn animals and fewer visitors. March to mid-May brings the long rains: safaris still run, the parks are quiet and prices are lower.
