Frequently asked questions about holiday rentals in Tanzania
What are the must-see places in Tanzania?
Tanzania boasts incredible diversity. For wildlife, the Serengeti National Park, with its vast plains and annual wildebeest migration, is a must. The Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage site, offers a unique ecosystem. For mountain views, Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest peak, is iconic, though climbing it requires significant preparation. Stone Town in Zanzibar, a historic trading centre, is a cultural highlight, with its narrow streets and Swahili architecture. Lake Tanganyika, one of the world's deepest lakes, offers stunning scenery and opportunities for water activities.
What are the best Airbnb and holiday rentals in Tanzania?
What are the typical activities to do in Tanzania?
Game drives in national parks are a major draw, allowing you to witness the abundant wildlife. Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is a challenging but rewarding experience. Hot air balloon safaris over the Serengeti provide breathtaking views. Exploring Stone Town in Zanzibar involves walking its streets, visiting historical sites like the House of Wonders, and enjoying the local culture. Snorkelling and diving are popular in Zanzibar's waters, particularly around Mnemba Atoll. Lake Tanganyika offers boat trips and fishing opportunities.
Which part of Tanzania offers the most pleasant climate?
The best climate varies depending on your preference. The highlands around Arusha and Moshi have a pleasant, cooler climate year-round, ideal for those seeking relief from the heat. The coastal areas of Zanzibar tend to be hot and humid, but the sea breeze provides some relief. The southern highlands experience cooler temperatures, especially during the dry season.
What are the best holiday rentals with a pool in Tanzania?
What airport options are there for reaching Tanzania?
The main international airport is Julius Nyerere International Airport (DAR) in Dar es Salaam. Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) near Arusha is another significant airport, often used by those heading to northern Tanzania's national parks.

What are the best rentals for families and kids in Tanzania?
Are there specific challenges to driving in Tanzania that visitors should know?
Driving in Tanzania can be challenging. Roads can be poorly maintained, especially outside major towns. Driving at night is generally discouraged due to limited lighting and potential hazards. Traffic laws may not always be strictly enforced, and driving conditions can be unpredictable, especially during the rainy season. Hiring a driver is often recommended, especially for long distances.
What are the best rentals or Airbnbs with a jacuzzi in Tanzania?
The Tanzanian shilling (TZS) is the official currency.
What are the top festivals to experience in Tanzania?

What is the best time of year to visit Tanzania?
The best time to visit depends on your priorities. The dry season (June to October) is generally considered ideal for wildlife viewing, with clear skies and easier game viewing. The wet season (November to May) offers lush landscapes but can make travel more challenging.
What are some local dishes to try in Tanzania?
Try Nyama Choma (grilled meat), a Tanzanian staple. Pilau, a spiced rice dish, is another popular choice. Ugali, a maize flour porridge, is a common side dish. Mishkaki, grilled meat skewers, are delicious street food. For seafood, try the fresh catches available on Zanzibar's coast.
What emergency numbers should you know in case of a medical or security issue in Tanzania?
For medical emergencies, contact 112. For police emergencies, contact 112. It's advisable to have the contact details of your local embassy or consulate as well.

What are the best areas to spend a week in Tanzania?
A week could be dedicated to a northern circuit safari, encompassing the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire National Park. Alternatively, you could explore the Zanzibar archipelago, combining Stone Town's cultural attractions with beach relaxation and water activities.

Lake Natron, with its unique landscape and flamingo populations, is another off-the-beaten-path destination.
