Distances are long in Tanzania, so when deciding which region(s) to visit, consider how
much time you will have overall in the country, and what your interests are. Most visitors
focus on northern Tanzania's wildlife parks, combined with a Kilimanjaro trek and/or re-
laxation on Zanzibar.
With more time at your disposal and an adventurous bent, the rest of the country opens up.
Head west for chimpanzee trekking and exploring Lake Tanganyika and Lake Victoria.
Travel through the Southern Highlands for hiking, hill panoramas and colourful markets.
Southeastern Tanzania is ideal for wildlife and for getting to know traditional Swahili cul-
ture, while northeastern Tanzania offers hiking, beaches and history. Dar es Salaam has an
