Tanzania is a land of mystical nature with around 30 percent of the land covered by national parks. Serengeti, Tarangire, Arusha, Ruaha, Katavi, and other parks have some of the most spectacular fauna and flora species. One can spot monitor chimps, rare black rhinos, and East African Oryx.
The number of unique places to visit in Tanzania appears to be endless! Mt. Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest peak, Lake Tanganyika, the world's second-biggest lake, and the world's largest caldera, Ngorongoro Crater, can all be accessible to the tourists. This stunning land of contrasts, one of the few in the world, is home to ancient tribes on the one hand and trendy coastal resorts on the other. Tourists can find centuries-old historic structures coexisting with slick malls.
Here is a list of best places to visit in Tanzania
1. Arusha
Arusha, located just below Mount Meru, is one of Tanzania's most ethnically diverse cities, home to indigenous Africans, Indians, and Arabs. Established in the 1830s, Arusha is a key contributor to the economy of Tanzania and is also known as the 'safari capital'. Arusha's appeal rests in the bustle of its crowded streets, marketplaces, and colonial-era structures, all nestled within verdant stretches. The terrain of Arusha is peppered with towering peaks like Mount Meru, lakes, and huge plains that allow you to enjoy the finest of African wilderness. Admire the unusual wildlife in Arusha National Park, one of Tanzania's best places to visit, as you witness the Big Five Game animals, flamingos, hippos, and zebras. The Cultural Heritage Center, with its mask museum, spice center, and other attractions, is not to be missed. The National History Museum has Tanzania's famed hominid fossils as well as insect exhibitions. Visitors may enjoy the tranquil environment on a canoe safari on Small Momella Lake in Arusha National Park. They can also test their boundaries by hiking to the 14,961-foot-high Mount Meru. Those who enjoy collecting mementoes might visit the Masai Women’s Fair Trade Center to purchase crafts and jewelry.
