From the numbers and proximity of the animals, the vistas, sunsets and the overall vastness of the areas we were travelling in, to our bolthole facing the Indian Ocean on Zanzibar, every day seemed to bring fresh delights.

Escape to a beach on Tanzania’s Indian Ocean

Tanzania's Indian Ocean beaches are excellent whether you're looking for a standalone beach holiday or for a few nights before or after a safari.

When to go to Tanzania

You can visit Tanzania any month of the year, but most people tend to avoid the long rains from about late March to the end of May. If you’re coming to see the migration in the Serengeti, you’re best to travel between December and October – but you’ll need to talk to us about which area of the park the herds are likely to be in each month.
