KUONI INSIDER

Dan Hewitt
Personal Travel Expert

The sights, sounds and smells of this historic World Heritage site of Stone Town really tell you that you are in exotic Africa. Spend a few idle hours just wandering through the fascinating labyrinth of narrow streets and alleyways after hitting one of the stunning beaches."

Tanzania Snapshot

  Up and up, your safari vehicle crawls, skywards to the edge of the caldera. Waiting with bated breath, fingers clutching your camera, eyes fixed. The vehicle crests the cloud touched rim and the Ngorongoro crater spills out before you in all its glory – simply breathtaking.

The best for Tanzania beach and safari holidays

From the white sand beaches, traditional farms and fishing villages of Zanzibar to the rolling plains of the wildlife-rich Serengeti and the snowcapped peaks of Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania is simply mesmerising. With Kuoni, choose from a range of safaris and spot lions lazing in the sun or herds of wildebeest thundering through scorched plains, then relax on the beautiful shores of the Indian Ocean.

Random Fact
The Ngorongoro Crater was created when a volcano erupted before collapsing in on itself. It is 610 metres deep and its floor covers a staggering 100 square miles, the original volcano is estimated to have been between 4500 and 5800 metre high before its collapse. Now the crater is home to a plethora of wildlife including the Big Five and a must-see on any Tanzania trip.
