Tanzania Ngorongoro Conservation Area: Natural Beauty With Wildlife

Tanzania Ngorongoro Conservation Area

If you want to go to an area where you can see both immense natural beauty and lots of wildlife, then you should head to Ngorongoro Conservation Area. This area has thousands of animals, including some of the Big Five.

Ngorongoro Conservation Area literally combines both nature and wildlife. This is because the biggest geographical draw to this area is the Ngorongoro Crater.

However, this crater is also home to all the thousands of wildlife that we mentioned earlier. It really is a tourist attraction in Tanzania you don’t want to miss!

Lake Manyara National Park

As you have probably noticed, quite a lot of the tourist attractions in this guide are national parks. Tanzania isn’t a country that you visit to spend your time indoors, instead, it is somewhere that you visit to immerse yourself in nature. One of the best places to do this is Lake Manyara National park. 

This national park is incredibly diverse, with areas of grasslands, swamps, woodlands, and forests. A large amount of the national park is composed of water, so it is the place to go if you love birds. It is also home to the largest concentration of baboons on the planet, so if you want to see these beautiful creatures, consider a trip to Lake Manyara.

Mount Kilimanjaro

Another huge attraction in Tanzania is Mount Kilimanjaro. For many people, Mount Kilimanjaro is the main reason why they visit Tanzania.

If you are somebody who loves climbing and hiking, climbing Kilimanjaro is the ultimate challenge, and it is something that many people spend years training for.

Mount Kilimanjaro definitely isn’t a tourist attraction for the faint-hearted, and it isn’t one that you can do on a whim either.

But with planning and preparation, you should definitely consider fitting this into your Tanzania vacation.

Beaches Of Zanzibar

Zanzibar is famous for its crystal clear waters and sparkling white beaches, so we won’t say too much about them.

But what we will say is that you shouldn’t make a trip to Tanzania without fitting in a trip to at least one of these beaches. If you do, you will live to regret it!

Some of the best beaches in Zanzibar to visit are Paje, Jambiani, Kendwa and Nungwi, so these are excellent areas to explore during your trip.

Dar es Salaam

A lot of the attractions that we have spoken about in this list have been natural attractions, but Dar es Salaam is a little different.

Dar is the biggest city in Tanzania, and it is somewhere that you should definitely try to visit during your trip!

Dar itself is packed with different attractions, such as the Open Air Village Museum, and it is a great opportunity to explore a built-up city that is located in a country that is mainly associated with nature. You should definitely squeeze in a visit.
