There are pros and cons to every destination. However, Tanzania has many attractions that are sure to please a wide spectrum of people. It is a great place for adventurers, beach goers, and history buffs.
From my personal experience, I took more from Tanzania than I did Europe because the U.S. and Europe share more similarities. It was great to see different locations, cultural practices, and meet the most welcoming people. But don't take my word for it, here are just a few reasons why Tanzania is the perfect destination.
Mount Kilimanjaro
Mount Kilimanjaro is the world's tallest free-standing mountain and a popular attractions for those brave enough to hike it. Kilimanjaro also has a blend of coffee that is trending across the globe.
Ngorongoro Crater
Ngorongoro Crater is a volcanic crater that is protected as a conservation area. You can meet the Maasai tribe and learn their customs as well as take a safari down into the crater. The breath taking views from above and within the crater are a must see for everyone.
Zanzibar
Zanzibar is home to Stone Town, a World Heritage Site,that was the center for slave trade in the 19th century. It is a functional historic site that has changed very little over the last couple centuries. Prison Island is just off the coast of Stone Town where misbehaved slaves were taken. Zanzibar is also home to the world's largest crab, the coconut crab. With great beaches, snorkeling, and dolphin tours who can blame it?
The People
Traveling to Tanzania gives you the opportunity to meet the most welcoming and friendly natives around. They were inviting and cordial to us everywhere we went. Seeing the different tribes, their attire, and culture as a whole was also a great learning experience.
