Tanzania Road Trips
Tanzania is made for self-drive adventures. Tanzania road trips have a little bit of everything thrown in: visit the Arusha, Tarangire and Serengeti parks; head to the numerous lakes including Manyara, Tarangire, Victoria, and the crystal clear waters of Tanganyika (great for snorkelling) and, of course, take in the majestic silhouette of Kilimanjaro.
If all of this great exploration isn’t enough on your road trip through Tanzania, you’ve also got idyllic beaches and islands to take a break away from it all. The white sands of the Zanzibar archipelago are practically made for some post-safari RnR, whereas the oceans surrounding the Spice Islands are heaven for divers.
