Dar es Salaam is the largest city in Tanzania and where many people will start their trip. The coastal city is often a jumping-off point for those traveling to nearby Zanzibar and the popular northern circuit, which includes the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire National Park. However, the game reserves near Dar es Salaam are generally less expensive and less crowded, but they still have stunning scenery and great wildlife-viewing opportunities. The southern parks are ideal for those who like to get off the beaten track. Take ‘near’ with a pinch of salt. Tanzania is a massive country, but these parks and reserves are all within a day’s driving distance of Dar es Salaam.

Dar es Salaam may not be the most popular place to start a safari in Tanzania, but it’s probably the best. Tanzania’s former capital city is one of Africa’s greatest travel secrets because of its: Easy access to some of the least crowded, and most rewarding, wildlife encounters in Tanzania; Coastal location, near picture-perfect white sand beaches and exotic islands; Unique Swahili culture, which means it offers some of the most interesting food, history and arts and crafts in Africa. Furthermore, Dar es Salaam welcomes visitors but isn’t crowded with them, unlike Arusha and the Serengeti which seem to be almost overrun with visitors throughout the year.

Walking safaris are the purest form of safari. Walking in Tanzania is completely different to game driving. On foot you are a participant in the world of wildlife rather than a spectator. Imagine, you walk on the same path as the elephants and other wildlife, you feel the wind through you hair, hear a lion roar in the distance and smell the bush and wildlife. Your senses awaken, as you become part of your environment and the wilderness becomes more real.

Cultural tours are a popular product in Tanzania that is mostly sold as an add-on to enrich main safari tour programs. Most cultural tour sites in mainland Tanzania were developed by the Tanzania Tourist Board (TTB), starting with selected villages around Arusha in northern Tanzania and spreading out into other areas. These are traditionally existing villages which have been made accessible to visitors who may have a glimpse of the authentic lifestyle of the more than 120 tribes in rural Tanzania.
