Things to do and See<br />
As mentioned, a wildlife Safari is the most popular thing to do in<br />
Tanzania and if this is the main purpose of your visit then you’re in<br />
for some world class reserves such as the Serengeti National Park,<br />
Arusha National Park and Ngorongoro Crater.<br />
Dar Es Salaam is one <strong>Africa</strong>’s buzzing capitals<br />
and is worth a stay for a night or two. Be sure to<br />
check out the national museum, the beaches,<br />
night life scene and great restaurants. For a<br />
spot of shopping nothing beats the Kariakoo<br />
Market district, the perfect place to pick up a<br />
Kanga. Or if you’re looking for a souvenir then<br />
the Mwenge carvers’ market is the ideal spot<br />
for handicrafts.<br />
Kilimanjaro is probably Tanzania’s second<br />
biggest attraction. It’s the highest mountain in<br />
<strong>Africa</strong> and every year hundred of climbers visit<br />
to summit this astounding mountain.<br />
Dining<br />
Tanzania has a diverse culinary scene. Along<br />
with traditional Tanzanian food you’ll have no<br />
trouble finding Indian, Middle Eastern, Italian,<br />
Chinese and Ethiopian cuisine, especially in the<br />
big cities.<br />
As far as local cuisine goes the most <strong>com</strong>mon<br />
food is Ugali, a tasty polenta-style dish made<br />
with corn flour. To wash it down we re<strong>com</strong>mend<br />
a Chai Maziwa, a sweet tea, and for dessert<br />
Mandazi, a sweet doughnut like fried bread.<br />
Ac<strong>com</strong>modation<br />
World class ac<strong>com</strong>modation can be found all over Tanzania, the<br />
Serengeti is home to a stunning Melia brand lodge and the Tulia<br />
Zanzibar is a unique beach hotel. In Dar Es Salaam we re<strong>com</strong>mend<br />
Alexanders hotel, a <strong>Travel</strong> and hospitality award winner. If you’re in<br />
Mbeya city, a hidden gem of Tanzania, then Tesha’s home, a boutique<br />
guest house is a great place to stay.<br />
If you’d like a bit of sun, sea, and relaxation then you’re in luck. The<br />
Tanzanian island of Zanzibar is a beach lovers’ dream. Here you’ll<br />
find white sand beaches, world class hotels, great food, interesting<br />
history, and beautiful coconut palms.<br />
