4 Best Places to Visit in Tanzania
1. Central Tanzania & Lake Victoria - Tanzania (PDF Chapter) Lonely Planet
This is the Central Tanzania & Lake Victoria chapter from Lonely Planet’s Tanzania guidebook. Well off most tourist itineraries, central Tanzania is like nowhere else in the country. Be sure to check out the enigmatic Kondoa Rock-Art Sites scattered across remote hills along the Rift Valley Escarpment.
2. Tanzania - Northeastern Tanzania (PDF Chapter) Lonely Planet
Northeastern Tanzania’s highlights are its coastline, its mountains and its cultures. These, combined with the area’s long history, easy access and lack of crowds make it an appealing focal point for a Tanzania sojourn.
3. Tanzania - Dar Es Salaam (PDF Chapter) Lonely Planet
With a population of over three million and East Africa’s second-largest port, Dar es Salaam is Tanzania’s major centre. Yet under its veneer of urban bustle, the city remains a down-to-earth place, with a picturesque seaport, a mixture of African, Arabic and Indian influences and close ties to its Swahili roots.
4. Tanzania - Zanzibar Archipelago (Chapter) Lonely Planet
Step off the boat or plane onto the Zanzibar Archipelago, and you’ll be transported through the miles and the centuries – to ancient Persia, to Oman’s caliphs and sultans, to India, with its heavily laden scents.
