Some tourist travel tips for Tanzania
Tanzania is home to some of the most famous national parks in Africa and the majestic Mount Kilimanjaro, which rises above the Serengeti. Most visitors will pass through Dar es Salaam and head to the safari and various wildlife adventures. For those who want to relax and spend some time enjoying the sun, the beautiful beaches of Zanzibar are adored. Outside of Pemba and the Mafia Islands, it is a completely different natural wonder that is most appreciated by divers and divers who come here from all over the world to experience coral gardens, colorful fish, and crystal clear waters.
Mount Kilimanjaro
One of the most visited attractions in Tanzania, Kilimanjaro National Park is home to the highest peak in Africa. Unlike other parks in northern Tanzania, this is not visited for wildlife, but for the chance to be afraid of the majestic mountain with snow and for many to climb to the top. Kilimanjaro can be climbed at any time, although the best time is from late June to October, during the dry season.
Kilimanjaro, a World Heritage Site, was created more than 1 million years ago by the volcanic movement along the Rift Valley. Three points – Shira, Kibo, and Maueni are about 750,000 years old. The highest point is Kibo Mount Uhuru, which is one of the seven summits in the world.
The mountain rises from the agricultural land at a lower level to the rainforests and the alpine meadow, and then the barren lunar landscape of the peaks. The slopes of the rainforest are home to buffalo, leopards, monkeys, elephants, and deer. There are bird watchers in the alpine area who will find an abundance of birds of prey.
