When it comes to a vacation in Tanzania, the star attraction is the Serengeti and the Safari experience. There are also national parks and lots of wildlife sanctuaries. There is however a lot more that you can do on your vacation and they do not all have to do with animals and wildlife. Planning to visit Tanzania? Visit any of the following locations or visit all of them alongside your Safari and Serengeti experience.
· Mount Kilimanjaro
Mount Kilimanjaro is known as the roof of Africa and reaching the peak of its summit is an adventure that is sure to be awe-inspiring and unforgettable. It’s a massive 5895 metres in height and you can use the Machame route on your journey. The Machame route is one of the most scenic routes and gives you an extra day to acclimate to the elevation.

Zanzibar is known as a paradise on earth and is a beautiful island with turquoise waters and many white-sand beaches. It is also a great place to go snorkeling or Scuba diving. Zanzibar has one of the best diving coasts in East Africa.
· Oldupai Gorge (Olduvai)
Also known as the cradle of civilization, this place is where Mary and Louise Leakey discovered the existence of the first human species dating back 3 million years in 1970. It was from this find that it was established that humans evolved from Africa. Nothing quite like a visit to where civilization first evolved.
