Experience the excitement and romance of the African savannah? This strategy is enough! Africa, a distant and mysterious land. Before I came to Tanzania, all my imaginations and longings came from Hemingway's "The Snow of Kilimanjaro". I hope to stand in the hero's life. Place to experience the excitement and romance of the African savanna. You must go to the Serengeti Prairie for a lifetime. There are a wide variety of natural and cultural landscapes, and groups of wild animals can be seen everywhere, and the most fascinating is year after year. The animals on this land have migrated. About time Animal migration is actually a cycle of one year, starting from June until May of the following year, but the climax of animal migration - a million horses The crossing of the Mara River is from July to September, so these three months are the best time for the migration of ornamental animals. About traffic Tanzania There are three international passenger airports, namely Dar es Salaam, Zanzibar, Kilimanjaro At the international airport, there are two options for going to the Serengeti Prairie. One is to drive to Moxie after landing at Kilimanjaro International Airport; the other is to depart from Kilimanjaro Airport and fly to Moore in about 50 minutes. Arusha Airport, the home base of COASTAL Airlines, has taken over all visitors who want to go to the Serengeti National Park. When you visit the prairie, you need to book a car rental service. In general, the rental of a jeep at a local specialized Safari company costs around 300 a day. It is important to note that drivers who have long working hours and experienced drivers must be selected as the driver's role and as a guide to the entire grassland. His experience and intuition directly determine the grassland. Experience good and bad, experienced drivers can accurately grasp the whereabouts of animals, and if you are successful, you can see many rare animals. About photography African savanna is undoubtedly a paradise for photographers. The natural landscape and wildlife that are full of charm are worthy of being recorded by the lens. Here, even if you are sitting in the car, you can be very close to the animals, sometimes they will actively approach the car and interact with the tourists, so if you don't want to bring too heavy equipment, the 200mm lens is also You can shoot good animal close-ups. But for photography enthusiasts, I still recommend a telephoto lens with a telephoto, after all, here is the vast expanse of the prairie!

Take a look at the beautiful African savanna with hot air balloon and "Iron Man"~ There are four viewing spots around the world. You can't fully experience the beauty of the scenery without a hot air balloon - Australia The Great Barrier Reef, the second is the Egyptian pyramid, the third is the Turkish weathered rock area, and the fourth is the African savanna. About the hot air balloon h The drone is not allowed on the Serengeti prairie, so taking a hot air balloon is the only way you can get a bird's eye view. The hot air balloon is the safest extreme sport. If you want to see the whole picture of the Serengeti prairie, you need to make a reservation in the local company website specializing in hot air balloon flight projects. The balloon company special off-road vehicle arrives at the flight point. Along the way, I have captured a lot of hot air balloons that have risen to the sky. ride experience hot air balloon basket has a total of 8 grids, each grid can hold 1-2 people, so a hot air balloon can only have a dozen people flying. The way to enter the hot air balloon is very interesting. Unlike the traditional direct walk into the basket, the hot air balloon here is initially placed on the ground, so you are not standing upright, but are squatting. Lying in, waiting for the staff to ignite Peng, etc., after the air is heated and inflated from the airbag opening until it can be lifted up, the basket will be hung up, and you will naturally stand upright with the seat belt. The pilot of my hot air balloon ride has a very rich experience. He is a native of Tanzania and has obtained a lot of flight certificates in the United States. To be honest, I think the pilot looks like Iron Man. After lifted off, I did appreciate the completely different Serengeti prairie. Hot air balloons can be lifted and lowered, and the minimum can be lowered to 2 or 3 meters from the ground. The sound of the fire-breathing fire from the animals will be very spectacular. suggestions It is highly recommended to experience the hot air balloon project during the animal migration (June-August), which will definitely make you unforgettable. About 600 dollars a person, too small children can not ride ~

On Nyerere Road in Tanzania, I unexpectedly came across a whole row of blooming jacarandas. Each tree was tall and dense, and the purple-blue flowers on the trees were super beautiful! This flower scene seems to have dyed the entire street into a dreamy purple avenue, full of poetry. What’s special is that when the jacarandas are in full bloom, the local traditional market is right next to the road. The bustling market atmosphere forms a sharp contrast with the quiet flower scene, and also presents the most charming daily scenery in Tanzania.

We took a flight from Antananarivo Airport to Tanzania. This flight was supposed to be just a stop, but it unexpectedly brought us an unforgettable surprise - we could clearly see the magnificent Mount Kilimanjaro from the plane! Although the plane is a small one, the 2-2 seating configuration makes it feel particularly compact, but the view from the window completely makes up for the lack of space. Mount Kilimanjaro appeared above the sea of ​​clouds. The majesty of Africa’s highest peak is so shocking that people can’t help but press the shutter frantically. It’s so dreamy! After arriving in Tanzania, the immigration process was also smooth, there was not much waiting, and the entire journey from takeoff to landing was very smooth. #FlyoverAfrica #Kilimanjaro #Africa's Highest Peak #Tanzania Trip #Madagascar to Tanzania #KilimanjaroView #Beautiful Views Outside the Window #Surprises During the Trip #African Sky Trip #FlyingDiary #Great Places to Go in March 2025

Tanzania stands as one of Africa’s premier tourist destinations, celebrated for its breathtaking landscapes, abundant wildlife, and rich cultural heritage. In 2024, the country achieved a significant milestone by welcoming a record-breaking 5.36 million tourists, surpassing its goal of attracting 5 million visitors by 2025. Natural Wonders and Wildlife Tanzania's diverse ecosystems offer unparalleled safari experiences. The Serengeti National Park is renowned for the Great Migration, where millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles traverse the plains in search of fresh grazing grounds. The Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, boasts a high density of wildlife, including the endangered black rhino. Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest peak, attracts trekkers from around the globe, while the southern parks like Ruaha National Park and the Selous Game Reserve offer more secluded safari experiences. Coastal Escapes and Cultural Heritage Beyond its wildlife, Tanzania's coastline and islands provide idyllic retreats. Zanzibar, with its white-sand beaches and historic Stone Town, offers a blend of relaxation and cultural exploration. For those seeking tranquility away from the crowds, destinations like Mafia Island and Pangani present serene alternatives. Tourism Growth and Economic Impact The surge in tourist arrivals has significantly boosted Tanzania's economy. In 2023, tourism revenue increased by 33.5%, reaching USD 3.37 billion, up from USD 2.53 billion in 2022. This growth reflects the country's successful efforts in promoting its attractions and improving infrastructure to accommodate the rising number of visitors. Travel Tips and Best Times to Visit The optimal time for safaris in Tanzania is during the dry season, particularly in September, when wildlife viewing is at its peak. However, traveling during the rainy season, from late March to late May, can offer unique experiences with fewer tourists and lush landscapes. Engaging local tour operators can enhance the travel experience, providing insights and access to lesser-known attractions. Conclusion As tourism in Tanzania continues to thrive, the country remains a beacon for adventurers, nature lovers, and cultural explorers alike. Whether it's witnessing the thunder of the Great Migration, scaling the heights of Kilimanjaro, or unwinding on the beaches of Zanzibar, Tanzania offers a travel experience that is both unforgettable and enriching.
