Day Trips In Zanzibar

What to do when In Zanzibar:

• For nature lovers, a trip to Jozani Forest, the last remaining rainforest on the island is recommended. It is also the habitat of the rare Red Colobus monkeys.
  
• From the port of Stone Town you can take a boat to the Changu Island, also known as Prison Island, because there is still the ruins of an abandoned prison.On the island you can snorkel and admire giant tortoises.
  
• A popular destination is the Persian Baths of Kidichi, of Sultan Sayyid Said built in the early 1800's as a gift for his second wife.
  
• Also interesting are the Mangapwani slave caves where slaves were loaded onto ships through an underground tunnel network, primarily heading to the Middle East.
  
• The most famous tour is the Spice Tour, here you are driven to the spice gardens and plantations on the island. You will see cinnamon, cocoa and pepper trees and shrubs as well as many other spices. The guide explains the particular fruit as well as their processing and local uses. This scenic excursion should not be missed.
  
• On the way is the old Sultan's Palace (Palace Maruhubi), a truly intersting site including the Sultuns personal harem for 99 ladies.
  
• It is worth a trip to the south coast of the island, more specifically, to the fishing village of Kizimkazi. From there you can take a boat trip to the reef, where wild dolphins often frolic in the immediate vicinity of the boat. The Captain will allow you to jump into the water and swim with the dolphins.

Adventure or Safari in Tanzania

A safari commonly means an unforgettable travel experience or adventure. A trip to Tanzania can be exciting and is created by the amazing balance between the landscapes and the people living there, and the wildlife. An adventure or a Safari allows a person to explore the surprising diversity of landscapes, the wildlife and the fascinating and significant cultures in Tanzania while visiting the National Parks in Northern Tanzania.

In one’s lifetime one should definitely visit the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. This fascinating park covers a vast geographical area of endless rolling plains, which reach up to the border of Kenya and extends almost to Lake Victoria. One visiting this park gets a visionary view of the fascinating wildlife that is found in abundance here. The Serengetti is known as one of the best sanctuary for wildlife in the world. A Serengetti Safari is a memorable one for a person who has visited the place as he sees large herds of animals here and this includes the Antelope, Patterson’s eland, Dikdik, Klipspringer, Zebra, lion, gazelles, impala, cheetah, hyena, etc. The other large mammals found here include rhino, giraffe, hippopotamus, elephants, etc. There are almost five hundred species found in the Serengeti National Park. Many are on the endless plains but some are found in the woodlands of the Serengeti.

The climate of Serengeti is warm and dry. The rainy season found in the tropics is from the month of March to May. However, short rains occur from October to November. The woodlands are absolutely lush and green after the rainy season. But it is usually after the rains that a steady drying up of the land follows which forces the animals to move from one migrate in search of water.

One should even go for an Ngorongoro Safari, this Safari or travel is fascinating and is incomplete without a visionary experience. The Ngorongoro Crater is found within the area of the Ngorongoro Conservational Area. The Ngorongoro Crater is a large volcanic caldera and is also recognized as one of the seven wonders of Africa. One who sees this Crater indeed has a breath taking experience looking over the crater edge.  The Ngorongoro Conservational Area has the Olduvai Gorge situated in its plains area, this Conservational area protects the Olduvai Gorge which is a steep sided ravine in the Great Rift Valley.

The BestTanzania Safari or the best Tanzania Holiday is possible for a person if he actually visits the Ngorongoro Conservational Area and the Serengeti National Park. However, a person can visit these places alone to live his wildest dreams and to appreciate the beauty and gift of nature, or he could be accompanied by his family or friends.
