Tanzania Travel Guide 2026: Places to Visit and Tanzanian Culture
The main safari season in Tanzania is the dry period from June to October, and January and February are relatively dry too. In the Serengeti, the wildebeest herds move from one area to another through the year, so the choice of month decides where to go. On Zanzibar, April and May are the rainy months.
Places to visit
- Serengeti National Park: lions, elephants, giraffes and wildebeest herds on broad plains.
- Zanzibar: Stone Town is on the UNESCO list, and the island offers spice tours and beaches.
- Dar es Salaam: the largest city in the country and its main port on the Indian Ocean.
- Kilimanjaro: at 5,895 metres the highest mountain in Africa, and a summit climb needs special preparation.
Planning tips
Safari vehicles go out early in the morning and late in the afternoon, because animals rest in the midday heat. Choose neutral, earth-coloured clothing. People fly between the Serengeti and Zanzibar. Confirm the entry permits you need with an official source before you travel.
