Top Notch Travel Activities in Tanzania

                

Balloon flights

Flights by balloon take off as dawn breaks over the Serengeti, the perfect silence of the early morning plains broken only by the soft roar of the balloon. Far below, wildebeests scatter, looking everywhere but up at the silent visitor that floats over their world. After the thrill of landing , a champagne breakfast awaits, the air becoming warmer as the sun climbs in the sky and curious zebra look up from their grazing at the chink of cutlery in the still warm bush.

Diving

Scuba diving the coral reefs off Tanzania’s coast at Zanzibar and Mafia Island offer some of the world’s finest scuba diving. Diving is possible all year around, although the Kusi Monsoon (strongest June-Sept) is accompanied by choppy seas and strong currents that make the more exposed reefs inaccessible. There can also be strong winds in December and January. Visibility is best from November to march, before the long rains set in.

Deep sea Fishing

The water around Zanzibar and Pemba islands is considered by experts to offer some of the best fishing in the world, especially the Pemba Channel, between Zanzibar and Pemba islands, or around Mafia Island, south of Zanzibar. Big game fish include barracuda, kingfish, sailfish, billfish, Wahoo, Dorado and blue marlin

Inland fishing

Rivers are stocked with trout around Mt Kilimanjaro and Mt Meru. Large rivers such as the kilombero and Great Ruaha offer fabulous sport fishing for Tiger fish. On the great lakes, especially Lake Victoria, one can fish for large Nile Perch.

Paragliding & Microlight flights

There some fabulous areas to paraglide. Very few people paraglide in Tanzania so it’s a novelty. Just some areas to fly are the Usambara, the Rift valley and numerous hills around Mt Meru. Microlight flights are now also available over Lake Manyara and the Great Rift Valley

Golfing

There are numerous golf courses throughout the country, including Dar es Salaam and Arusha. Local clubs are always very welcoming to any visitor who may wish to swing the odd club.

Boat Safaris

The soft chug of an outboard engine, or whispering flap of canvas sail; boat safaris in Tanzania are a tranquil and relaxing way to watch wildlife. One of the best ways to see the Selous Game Reserve, up the huge muddy brown sweep of the Rufiji River, Leopard whisking away from rocks at the boat’s approach. Sail into chimpanzee territory on a dhow, skimming over the Wami River in Saadani, surrounded by amazing birdlife, hippos and alligators.

Horse and camel rides

Day rides are available from few camps in Tanzania, for all standards of rider, and game animals are not afraid of horses in the same way that they are of cars or pedestrians, allowing visitors to approach the wildlife much more closely than usual.

Mountain Biking

For the fit and adventurous, mountain biking through the African landscape is truly an exciting experience. Avoid roads and traffic and ride through deserts and forests, up mountains and down valleys, through tiny villages and bustling market towns , then into the true wilderness past herds of antelope , giraffe and zebra.

Canoeing

Canoeing trips are available in the Arusha National Park and are a wonderful experience, drifting past herds of elephants, giraffe, hippo and buffalo as you cruise along shores of the Lake surrounded by countless flocks of birds.

Mountain climbing and hiking

For most climbers who visit Tanzania, the 5869m Kilimanjaro is the top prize. Mt Meru, another of Tanzania’s volcanic peaks, also popular, with the varied animal and plant life to be found on its slopes a major draw. Meru is Africa’s fifth highest peak, with fabulous views of Mt Kilimanjaro and Momela Lakes from the summit.

Walking Safari

A walk through the African bush is wonderful way to experience Africa intimately. Smells and sounds become distinct and varied, and smaller creature gain significance. They are no longer simply rushed past in the race of the bigger game. When larger animals do appear they are met at eye level; the land is truly shared between humans and animals. Safety is not issue all works are accompanied by armed; experienced guides and game rangers. Walks can be from a few hours to a full day with picnic lunch. Many hotels and camps will offer guided walks in the national parks or community areas.
