I have travelled widely in Tanzania (and elsewhere). It is a big country with lots of contrasts. Special highlights - beyond the obvious - include: Mafia Island which has wonderful diving in a relatively shallow lagoon (enabling snorkellers to see a lot); the Usambara Mountains with the lovely old German rest house at Amani and the deafening dawn chorus of trumpeter hornbills; and the excavated ruins of Kilwa Kisiwani.

Tanzania is a diverse and beautiful country. It has a range of safari options (budget to luxury) and is a safe and peaceful country. Even as a largely independent traveler making my own transportation and accommodation arrangements, I did not feel unsafe.
Awesome Parks and sceneries, lovely people, beautiful country.

The country Tanzania is magnificent because of the diversity of nature, rivers and lakes. Then, the friendly and colorful people: they are the finishing touch!

Amazing wildlife areas, one doesn't see that many other cars (except in Ngorongoro of course, but you can still veer away from the crowds).
Off the beaten track safaris in game reserves plus Kilimanjaro climbing no country in Africa can compare. For Birders you have Eden on Earth lotsa places to go. Forget the normal serengeti ngorongoro and tarangire Northern circuit. Thats for beginners,you need to go to game reserves and new national parks to truly appreciate the vastness and beauty of nature . Try it....:-)

The abundance of wildlife, great scenery and good accommodation. It was extremely rare that we saw other safari jeeps.

Tanzania has some wonderful places to see wildlife. Highlights for us where the Lake Manyara Tree lodge, visiting the Ngorongoro crater and Lodge, and especially Klein's Camp. Sure some of the locations can be very busy with tourist (Ngorongoro crater for example), but in almost every case the beauty of the wildlife and nature will overcome this drawback with ease.
