What Tanzania Has To Offer As You Plan Your African Safari Adventure

How much do you know about the country of Tanzania, really? You may know that it is home to Mount Kilimanjaro, the world’s largest free-standing mountain, and you may be aware that it is one of the absolute best places to go on African safari. But there are so many other reasons to visit Tanzania.

Whether you have always longed to visit this exquisite land in the heart of the Dark Continent or are just beginning to wonder about its secrets, here is a peek at what Tanzania has to offer.

Zanzibar

Sitting off the coast of Tanzania’s mainland, Zanzibar is accessible by ferry, an island ideal for relaxing on white sandy beaches. Just inland is Stone Town, full of culture, and with opportunities to visit many shops and mosques. You can also take spice tours, go fishing, watch dolphins, and play water sports, because Zanzibar is more than just its beaches.

Dar es Salaam

Tanzania’s capital city is a bustling, fascinating place to visit, where you can take a tour or shop at one of the many street fairs. Wander through the National Museum for a glimpse of the country’s history, walk down Temple Road for a look at the religious temples, marvel at the Mwenge wood carver’s village to find souvenirs, and sample various street food and beverages all along the way.

Ngorongoro Crater

Marking the spot where a volcano once stood over 8 million years ago, this vast crater lies on the southeastern side of the Serengeti, covering 120 square miles. It is home to wild game and birds, a great spot to soak up more nature and extend your safari experience.

Coffee Farms

Did you know that Tanzania is the 19th largest producer of coffee in the world? Not bad for its size. Grown mostly by small farmers on the slopes of Kilimanjaro, Tanzanian coffee is full of bright, berry flavors, and is a testament to the rich soil and hard work found in the region.

Cultural Safaris

If you want to learn more than the average tourist about the country of Tanzania, Zara has carefully crafted tours that include visits to “authentic” Massai villages and farming areas of Mto Wa Mbu.

Tourism has a unique role in Tanzania, in that a percentage of any trip you take is donated to charities like The Porter’s Society, local orphanages, malaria prevention projects, and others. Thus, tourism protects and preserves the country of Tanzania even as it sustains it.

Discover for yourself the matchless draw that Tanzania has for visitors from across the globe. It is like nowhere else on earth. From tallest mountain to lowest plains, a trip to Tanzania offers an enriching experience in every way.

SERENGETI VOTED AFRICA’S BEST SAFARI PARK BY INDUSTRY EXPERTS AND SAFARI-GOERS

10929136_10103087261919195_7144933476978172887_n

A study of more than 3,000 reviews from safari adventurists and industry experts from Lonely Planet, Rough Guides and other guidebooks all agree: Serengeti National Park in Tanzania is the best in all of Africa.

SafariBookings.com, an online marketplace for African safaris, set out to put to rest the question of which park was best for African safaris. Serengeti National Park in Tanzania came out on top, which was no surprise to safari enthusiasts. The study reports, after analyzing 3,008 reviews by both safari travelers and top experts in the field, that Serengeti was the clear winner.

A total of 2,234 reviews were contributed by safari tourists from 63 countries. The remaining 774 park reviews were written by renowned experts, including guidebook authors associated with Lonely Planet, Rough Guides, Frommer’s, Bradt and Footprint.

The study revealed the Serengeti received an overall rating of 4.91 out of 5 stars. This was the highest score amongst all parks, and thus the Serengeti was crowned Africa’s Best Safari Park.

To add weight to this outcome, safari tourists who visited multiple parks rated the Serengeti an astonishing 16% higher than any other park. The industry experts also rated Serengeti highest. Their reviews tend to be more critical, as they can compare Serengeti to a host of parks they’ve visited in various countries. Regardless, Serengeti came out on top, justifying its first place ranking all the more.

When asked why Serengeti is such a desired safari destination, several repetitive themes emerged: the annual Great Migration (hosting over 2.5 million wildebeest and zebra), top wildlife viewing year-round and endless grass plains that feel like authentic Africa. Also contributing to the choice was Serengeti’s distinction as one of the best places to see most predators including lions, and thousands of wildebeest cross crocodile infested rivers. In addition, visits to the park can be easily combined with other top-class parks of Tanzania.

Safari in Tanzania: The Ultimate Bucket List Adventure

What experiences are high on your bucket list? Did you know that going on a safari in Tanzania is near the top of many people’s lists of things to do in their lifetime?

In Swahili, the word safari means ‘journey’. As a short frame among the many experiences of your lifetime, this is one journey that will forever stand out: an African safari that brings you on a pilgrimage deep into the various lives of the culture and wildlife of Tanzania.

Highlights of the Tanzania Safari

There are many reasons why experiencing a Tanzanian safari in this beautiful country has become a lifelong goal for so many people.

There are sights and sounds found here in Tanzania that do not exist anywhere else in the world. Rare birds, extinct volcanoes, savannah plains, and powerful wild animals all call this country home, and a safari offers a peek into the richness of their world.

Witness the Great Migration, as the wildebeest herds travel across the vast plains of Africa, or watch the wildlife that live and thrive in the Ngorongoro Crater, an extinct volcano.
Our Serengeti Wildcamps set travelers up in style, right at the heart of the land, while lions prowl and elephants roam nearby. Staying so near the Big Five themselves gives visitors a real glimpse of Tanzania, the savannah and its inhabitants.

Exquisite Lake Manyara is home to flocks of flamingoes, where you can see hosts of the pink, black, and white birds taking flight over the silver waters. Any one of the unique national parks will leave you with amazing memories and scenes that will make you glad you made living out your bucket list a priority.

Making it Your Own

Perhaps one of the best things about embarking on safari with Zara Tours is the opportunity to safari in whatever way you prefer. Walk on safari for a hands-on–and boots on–experience, or make it even more unique by safari-ing on horseback or by camel.

Our four-wheel drive vehicles have pop-top viewing roofs so there are no blind spots and you don’t miss a thing by looking away from a window. You can strike out on your own or set off on an adventure with dear friends or family. Whatever details will enrich your experiences are made possible in a very real way with the experienced guides of Zara Tours.

Make your bucket list items a source of rich memory and a lifelong highlight, and not just for the safari. Combination packages from Zara Tours can have you climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, or diving among the coral reefs. Don’t miss out on the chance to see lions, elephants, wildebeest, and more, all while on your life-changing Tanzania safari.

Travel the world: check. Go on safari: check. Live your life to the fullest: check.

OFFICIAL OPENING OF THE NGORONGORO PRE-SCHOOL IN NGORONGORO CONSERVATION AREA – TANZANIA

The founder of the Zara Charity and Zainab Ansel, the director of Zara Tours, are pleased to announce the official opening of the Ngorongoro pre-school in Enduleni Village in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

IMG_2947IMG_2772

 

As a developing country, Tanzania struggles to provide a high quality of infrastructure and education, and the Maasai community has one of the highest illiteracy and lowest school enrolment rates in East Africa. This is primarily due to a lack of schools and their pastoral way of life. Maasai children have been known to walk barefoot for up to 20km to a primary school within parks where there is a danger of an animal attack.

The cost of education remains a large obstacle. Most families live on less than US$0.80 per day and it’s not rare for a family to have around eight children, while some Maasai warriors have up to 60 wives. Research shows that nearly 60% of Maasai children under five years old are physically stunted, which is an indicator of chronic malnutrition. Studies also show that only 5% of elementary school students continue to high school, and that girls are the most disadvantaged as they are expected to stay at home to help their mother take care of the house and family.

IMG_1507

With an average ratio of 72 students to one teacher, four million new primary school teachers were needed in East Africa to reach the goal of offering primary education to all children by 2015. Crowded and dilapidated classrooms, coupled with insufficient teaching resources and instruction time, reflect a far below average standard of educational institutions.

As part of Zara Tours’ sustainable tourism plan, Zara Charity strongly believes that education is the key to a better future that will break the cycle of impoverished communities. That is why we decided to promote education in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area by building a pre-school at which 43 children are currently registered. We focus on building a support system for children by constructing better facilities in which to learn, ensuring access to safe and healthy learning environments, strengthening teaching quality, and providing scholarships.

IMG_3010IMG_2208IMG_1663

Student sponsorship covers the cost of enrolment fees, school materials and uniforms, as well as regular monitoring and support from the Zara Charity. It also provides students with access to medical services.

IMG_2862

One of the most rewarding aspects of sponsorship is getting to know a student personally and seeing the positive effect on their life. We provide various ways for sponsors to form this personal bond, including sending regular updates of the student’s report cards and living situation, and giving the option to send letters directly. Sponsors can also meet the student and their family in Tanzania, and they can combine their trip with an affordable safari package or trek up Mt. Kilimanjaro.

To sponsor a student through pre-school, the cost of one full year is US$850, which works out at just US$2.30 per day. Co-sponsorship and paying in monthly instalments are also options. For more information on our Student Sponsorship Programme, please contact: zara@zaracharitytanzania.org and/or zainab@zaratours.com or Donate to our fund rising page here

Mount Kilimanjaro and 6 Interesting Facts to Know

You can see it rising in the distance as soon as you get off the plane and can’t wait to join the Mount Kilimanjaro tour to climb to the top. But how much do you know about Mount Kilimanjaro and the elusive challenge that it is?

5 Unique Ecosystems

While many picture just a steep rock, Kilimanjaro is actually a much more complex mountain. Farmland and villages make up the first level, followed by jungles and forests, both thriving in the torrential rainfalls. Next come the heath zone and then the alpine desert zones, reached as the altitude climbs, where vegetation fades and temperatures fluctuate. Almost all plant and animal life has disappeared at the summit zone, and surface water is nearly non-existent at this the second closest point on earth to the sun.

The World’s Tallest Free-Standing Mountain

The tallest mountain in Africa and the highest free-standing mountain in the world, Kilimanjaro stands at 19,341 feet or 5,895 meters. Most freestanding mountains are volcanic, but don’t worry, Kilimanjaro hasn’t erupted in at least 360,000 years.

Home to the Chagga People

The third largest ethnic group in Tanzania, the one million Chagga people are also one of the richest, living in close harmony with the mountain and all it has to offer. They grow bananas, coffee, maize, beans, sugarcane, and maletta. Many of the Chagga offer their services as porters, carrying large sacks of personal equipment on top of their heads for those scaling the mountain. Climbers will often begin their journey by visiting with the Chagga in their villages at the foothills.

Hans Meyer Was the First

In 1889, German geographer Hans Meyer reached the peak of Kibo, Kilimanjaro’s main summit. It was Meyer’s third attempt that was finally successful, and with him climbed Swiss alpinist Ludwig Purtscheller and their Chagga guide Yohani Kinyala Lauwo.

Over 20,000 People Climb Each Year

Of the 20,000 climbers who traverse its slopes each year, only two-thirds make it all the way to the peak. Decreasing oxygen causes altitude sickness, leading to headaches, nausea, exhaustion, and swelling beginning when climbers get less than halfway up. At the peak there is only about half as much oxygen as is found at sea level. Some 1,000 people have to be evacuated and around 10 die, confirming the danger of climbing this mountain as much as the thrill.

A Place for Determination and Inspiration

Climbing to any point of Mount Kilimanjaro is an accomplishment for anyone bold enough to try, but it isn’t just an item on a bucket list to many of the people who risk the feat. Many disabled climbers will use the challenge of the mountain to overcome their handicaps while showing others what they are capable of, often summiting triumphantly after much hard work.

Mount Kilimanjaro holds an inescapable allure for so many who seek to reach its summit, and offering a life-changing adventure and captivating challenge for those who dare to take it.

Top 10 Things to Do on a Tanzania Safari

Going on safari in Tanzania is one of the most incredible experiences a person can have—the beautiful animals, stunning landscapes, and warm people are unforgettable. There is so much to see here, and we want to share with you just some of the amazing things to do on a safari in the beautiful wilds of Tanzania.

Meet the Maasai Tribe

Tanzania is home to more than 260 tribes, though one of the best known peoples is the Maasai, partly due to their residency near many of the country’s parks, many of which you may see on safari. Spend time with them to learn about different aspects of their culture, like their coming of age ceremony eunoto, their beautiful traditional jewelry, or if you’re lucky, see one of their intricately woven Inkajijik (houses) up close.

Visit the Ngorongoro Crater

Many would argue that you haven’t seen Tanzania until you’ve seen the Ngorongoro Crater. Wide plains, dense forests, and beautiful springs are all present in this one area. And, as a conservation area, this geological wonder teems with amazing wildlife such as wildebeest, lions, and hippopotamus.

Bird Watching

As well as larger creatures, Tanzania is home to over 1,000 of stunning bird species such as ostriches, cuckoos, and kingfishers, making the country a must-visit for birdwatchers.

Climb Mount Kilimanjaro

The highest mountain in Africa and the tallest freestanding mountain in the world, Kilimanjaro promises adventure, unique wildlife, and breath-taking views.

See the Black Rhinoceros

On your safari, you may be lucky enough to see the black rhino, a now critically endangered species. The impressive dual horned animal is often a solitary roamer, though mothers and their calves are practically inseparable.

Experience the Migration of the Wildebeest

The migration of the wildebeest, though somewhat difficult to predict, is one of the most incredible sights to see on a Tanzanian safari, if you are so fortunate. Imagine thousands of these noble creatures thundering across the plains before your very eyes to find new habitation—an experience impossible to forget.

Visit Tarangire National Park

Home of the Tarangire River, this park is a must-visit during the dry season, when thousands of the migratory species of Tanzania return to the area such as elephants, zebras, and wildebeest.

Explore the Olduvai Gorge

This one’s for all our anthropology enthusiasts out there. This gorge is one of the most significant paleoanthropological sights in the world, as some of the earliest remains of Homo habilis, Paranthropus boisei, and Homo erectus were discovered in this area.

See the Amboni Caves

Located in the Tanga Region of Tanzania, these limestone caves are historic wonders, formed 150 million years ago deep underground. See hundreds of bats in flight at sunset, rock formations in the shapes of animals, and massive stalactites.

See the Giant Baobab Trees

There’s nothing quite like standing next to a mammoth of a tree like the giant baobab, which can grow up to 100 feet in height and trunks as large as 36 feet in diameter. They produce fruits the size of coconuts with a very unique flavor, and can store up to 32,000 gallons of water inside.

There are even more wonders like these to behold on a Tanzanian safari, so what are you waiting for? Visit www.zaratours.com to set up your visit to Tanzania!

THE BEAUTY OF AFRICA WITH ZARA TANZANIA ADVENTURES

IMG_0507

Introducing Tanzania: Wildlife, beaches, ruins, Mt Kilimanjaro, friendly people, fascinating cultures – Tanzania has all these and more wrapped up in one adventurous, welcoming package.

IMG_5542

Captivating Cultures

Wherever you go, opportunities abound for getting to know Tanzania’s people and cultures. Meet red-cloaked Maasai warriors. Spend time with the semi-nomadic Barabaig near Mt Hanang. Experience the hospitality of a local meal or the rhythms of traditional dance. Watch Makonde carvers bring wood to life. Chat and barter at local markets in the Usambara Mountains. More than anything else, it is Tanzanians themselves – with their characteristic warmth and politeness, and the dignity and beauty of their cultures – who make a visit so memorable. Chances are that you’ll want to come back for more, to which most Tanzanians will say ‘karibu tena’ (welcome again).

Idyllic Beaches

It’s not just the wildlife that enchants. Tanzania’s Indian Ocean coastline is also magical, with tranquil islands and sleepy coastal villages steeped in centuries of Swahili culture. Travel back in time to the days when the East African coast was the seat of sultans and a linchpin in a far-flung trading network extending to Persia, India and beyond. Relax on powdery beaches. Take in pastel-hued sunrises, immerse yourself in languid coastal rhythms, and sit beneath billowing sails on a wooden dhow.

Mt Kilimanjaro

Inland, Mt Kilimanjaro beckons, its graceful, forested flanks rising up to a stately snow-capped summit. It is Africa’s highest peak and one of the world’s highest freestanding mountains. Climbers by the thousands venture here to challenge themselves on its muddy slopes, rocky trails and slippery scree. The rewards: the thrill of standing at the top of Africa; magnificent views of Kilimanjaro’s ice fields; and witnessing the sunrise illuminating the plains far below.

Why I Love Tanzania

By Mary Fitzpatrick, Author

I love Tanzania because of the light, colors and life in almost every scene. Especially at dawn: the rising sun floods the cool grasslands with gold, school children walk along the roadsides and vendors set out their wares. And when nature surrounds you, there is exuberance everywhere: the largest of animals mingle with the most minute; birds of every size and color soar and sing; trees and plants burst with flowers; landscapes are colorful and diverse. Mostly, though, it’s because of the equanimity, charm, dignity and welcome offered by so many Tanzanians.

Wonderful Wildlife

More than almost any other destination, Tanzania is the land of safaris. Wildebeest stampede across the plains. Hippos jostle for space in muddy waterways. Elephants wander along seasonal migration routes and chimpanzees swing through the treetops. Throughout the country, there are unparalleled opportunities to experience this natural wealth. Take a boat safari down the Rufiji River past snoozing crocodiles in Selous Game Reserve. Watch giraffes silhouetted against ancient baobab trees in Ruaha National Park. Sit motionless as waterbirds peck in the shallows around Rubondo Island. Drive to Serengeti to witness the greatest wildlife show on Earth. Hold your breath while a lion pads in front of your vehicle in Ngorongoro Crater.
