Bundle your hotel, flights and extras like rental cars and experiences and you’ll be browsing Arusha’s Maasai Market in no time. If you like the idea of taking a boat safari past crocodiles in Selous Game Reserve or hiking up Mount Kilimanjaro, add some tours to your package as well.

Your Tanzania Holiday Itinerary

  • Day 1-2: Begin your African adventure in the bustling metropolis of Dar es Salaam, just north of Julius Nyerere International Airport. Experience traditional life at the open-air Village Museum, buy a souvenir at the Slipway and enjoy an authentic Dar es Salaam experience at the Kivukoni Fish Market.

  • Day 3-4: Just a short flight from Dar es Salaam is the city of Moshi. Popular for its close proximity to Mount Kilimanjaro, the town is a blend of African and Asian influences and is one of the country’s coffee producing hubs.

  • Day 5-7: Arusha is around a two-hour bus ride west of Moshi. Considered Tanzania’s gateway to the northern safari circuit, it’s the perfect place to stay if you’re eager to tour Serengeti National Park or take a day trip to Tarangire National Park.

Tanzania Information

  • Don’t miss the Serengeti Cultural Festival. Every July, festivities are held in urban areas between Serengeti National Park and the Lake Zone. Local traditions and culture, including dance and art, are celebrated in an open-air setting.

  • Check out Expedia’s Dar es Salaam Holiday Packages if you plan to spend a bit of time in the country’s largest city.
