Safaris in Tanzania can be put into two categories, the Northern Circuit (Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Manyara and Tarangire) and the Southern Circuit (Selous, Mikumi and Ruaha). This is an oversimplification though and does not include other interesting, but harder to reach, parks such as Katavi and Gombe, to name just two. For tourists, the first two groupings are more accessible, as a variety of packages are offered by several tour companies.
Do
thumb|Dhow and anchor, [[Zanzibar]] There are loads of National Parks for those wanting to watch Tanzania's wildlife. You can gain entry for around US$100 and benefit from a tour (and perhaps a night's accommodation). The better parks, though packed with tourists, are found in the north of the country. Ruaha National Park is the best in the south (locals actually say this is the best park, especially if you want to see wild animals as opposed to semi-tame ones in the northern parks). Don't just be sucked into the tourist circuit in the north; the south offers great parks and towns (base yourself in Iringa), and you will feel less of a tourist and more of a guest if you travel this way. Scuba diving in and around Pemba and Zanzibar is another good experience. You can also visit numerous historical Slave Trade sites located in Bagamoyo, which could make for an interesting, if a little depressing, excursion. Beaches: Tanzania has some of the best, most unspoiled beaches in the world. They are stunning, with their white sand, palm trees, and cool Indian Ocean water! Kayak the beautiful coastal waters with a tour operator. Tanzania has two of the best Stone Age sites in the world: Isimila Gorge (near Iringa) and the earliest known examples of human art among the rock paintings, near Kolo, north of Kondoa, Dodoma -- some of which are reckoned to be around 30,000 years old. Kilimanjaro is one of Tanzania's main attractions. Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa. Many visitor…
Eat
thumb|Tanzanian (Dar es Salaam) [[street food]] Produce is often of very high quality. Meat and milk can prove difficult for western taste and diets, so be sure that all meat is cooked through. At hotels, you won't have any trouble, but if you venture into small villages, make sure that all water is filtered or boiled before drinking and all fruits and vegetables are peeled before eating. Local dishes include Mtori - cooked beef and bananas - and Mchicha, a vegetable stew with meat or fish in it. If there is anything that can be called Tanzania's national dish, then Ugali would most likely win out. A polenta-style dish made with corn flour, it accompanies cooked meat and a variety of stews, and it's eaten with your hands. Recipes vary from village to village, and everyone has their own way of making it. Many foreigners find it bland and unappealing, but it's worth a try, and some upscale establishments serve it. Street food is also cheap and plentiful. Barbecued corn on the cob is very nice, as are the chips (fries), cooked over a roaring fire. Mandazi is a sweet doughnut-styled food that is mostly made fresh each morning. Great with coffee in the morning, it makes an ideal snack. Tanzania's large South Asian community ensures that a great variety of restaurants offer cuisine from all parts of that region of the globe. All eateries near Hindu temples (particularly in Dar) are a good bet. Just watch where the local Indians go to eat, and you won't be disappointed. Most of the …

La Tanzanie, en forme longue la république unie de Tanzanie (en swahili : Tanzania /tanzaˈni.a/ et Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania ; en anglais : Tanzania et United Republic of Tanzania), est un pays d'Afrique de l'Est situé en bordure de l'océan Indien, dans la partie tropicale de l'hémisphère sud. Il est entouré au nord par le Kenya et l'Ouganda, à l'ouest par le Rwanda, le Burundi et la république démocratique du Congo, au sud-ouest par la Zambie et le Malawi et au sud par le Mozambique. Le pays couvre 945 087 km2 et compte 58,5 millions d'habitants en 2018, essentiellement bantous. Sa capitale est Dodoma, située dans l'intérieur des terres, mais le principal pôle économique est l'ancienne capitale Dar es Salam, située sur la côte. Les langues officielles sont le swahili et l'anglais mais l'arabe est aussi parlé notamment dans les îles de Zanzibar et Pemba. La Tanzanie actuelle est née de l'union du Tanganyika et de Zanzibar le 26 avril 1964, peu de temps après leur indépendance respective vis-à-vis du Royaume-Uni. Elle est membre du Commonwealth depuis fin 1961 et des Nations unies depuis le 14 décembre 1961.
