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.

Exceptional wildlife and expansive landscapes.
It's hard to beat the wildlife, biodiversity, and expansive landscapes of Tanzania. From the highest peak on the continent to Ngorongoro wildlife rich crater, from the expansive Serengeti to vibrant alleyways of Stonetown on Zanzibar, Tanzania has it all and then some. If you're short on time and want to see big game, head straight to Ngorongoro. You'll see everything but giraffes here - they can't climb down/up the steep crater walls. There's so much wildlife it almost feels like a zoo. If you're more into the search and discovery style safari, and have the time, the Serengeti is for you. Better yet, do both. Climb Mt Killy to brag that you bagged the continent's summit, but for my time and money, I'd climb Mt Kenya - more beautiful and fewer traffic jams on the trail. Finally, the rich swahili culture, white sand beaches, and the alluring alleyways of Stone Town on Zanzibar are not to be missed.

whil you are eating a gourmet meal cooked inside a field tent kitchen was amazing. Our guides were knowledgable as well as friendly and attentive. Overall I would recommend everyone to take a trip to Africa and experience the vast, beautiful continent that it is. If you can add a hot air balloon ride over the Serenghetti at dawn don't miss it.

The are parks of similar size and similar wildlife in other African countries that matches Mikumi.
It is a unique and exciting experience, particularly for one from western North America
