About Tanzania

About Tanzania - General

With such a perfect Location, perched on the edge of the African continent, and facing the Indian Ocean, Tanzania’s weather and climate leaves nothing to be desired. Warm and sunny days are followed by cool and balmy nights, and whether you’re on safari on the Serengeti plains or enjoying the tropical beaches of Zanzibar, the temperatures are always welcoming and gentle. Consult Weather and Climate to find out when the best times to visit are, and learn more about the monsoon winds and seasonal rains.

But sun-filled and beautiful days are not all that Tanzania has to offer. On the contrary, the country’s borders hold a vast number of people and tribes whose varied cultures and traditions make up the rich tapestry that is Tanzanian culture. Read on to learn more about the Masaai culture and the customs of the Swahili Coast.

Although Tanzania is a country rich in culture and traditions, it’s history is also one of treasured heritage and pride. From the early days of mankind's history, man has called the land of Tanzania home - its verdant mountains, its scrubland plains. Find out more about our country’s rich history, from the arrival of merchants and traders on the Swahili Coast to the peaceful political climate that exists today.

Tanzanians enjoy a climate of freedom and peace in our daily lives, and value community and togetherness very highly. Religion is an expression of community and culture, and one that binds us all as citizens to our country and to the people around us. Tanzanians practice Christianity, Islam, and traditional African religions in tolerance and understanding.

Religion defines our community and our sense of identity, but culturally, we are all Tanzanians. Our culture and our traditions can be seen in the everything we surround ourselves with and the handicrafts that are the specialties of our country. Visitors to Tanzania will find the section on Shopping immensely useful in helping them decide what to bring back for their friends and loved ones from our amazing country.

Doug told us:
It has taken a long time to sort through my 1700 photos I took whilst in Tanzania - most of which I took in the Serengeti, Crater and Manyara areas. Now that I have completed that task I wanted to let you know just how fantastic my trip was on safari with Bobby Tours. I had an amazing time mainly due to our driver Julius who has the eyes of a hawk and can spot the face of a cheetah at 200m in a bush! I had to use binoculars and sure enough, I got to see a cheetah in the wild. We ended up seeing all the big 5 (including rhino in the crater) over the 3 days. The accommodation arranged at the Serena Lodges was awesome, with great views. I have been wanting to go on safari for decades and finally when I do get to go, the journey surpassed all expectations. I have brought back videos and stills of hyena and lion cubs walking past the 4x4 just a few feet away. I must have taken 100+ photos of the giraffes! Many thanks for an amazing experience. All the best Doug
