Departures How to get there


Flights: Julius Nyerere International Airport — named after Tanzania’s first president — is located to the southwest of Dar es Salaam and the chief entry point to the country for most international travelers. Numerous airlines, including Emirates, Ethiopian Airlines, Etihad Airways, KLM and United operate flights to and from Dar es Salaam.


Day 3


Morning: Follow in the footsteps of Ernest Hemingway by heading to the Serengeti, the national park with the name that means ‘endless plains’ in the Maasai language. Vast herds of zebras, gazelles, and wildebeest thunder southward during the Great Migration, then sweep northward after the rainy season. serengeti.org


Afternoon: Board a light aircraft to soar above migrating wildlife, including elephants and giraffes, and gain an understanding of the sheer scale of the natural phenomenon. Early risers


and keen photographers may prefer the serenity of a flight within the basket of a hot air balloon. scenicairsafaris.com balloonsafaris.com


Evening: Spend time with an expert naturalist in the Ngorongoro Crater during a safari, a Swahili term meaning ‘journey’. The world’s largest unflooded, unbroken volcanic crater measures around 12 miles across. The densely forested rim hosts a rich ecosystem. Lions and rare black rhinos are frequently spotted at its base. boundlessjourneys.com ngorongorocrater.org


Getting around: Azam Marine runs fast, modern ferries between Dar es Salaam and Zanzibar. The journey takes around two hours. Most vehicle rental companies supply a driver familiar with the terrain and driving conditions. Taxis are a good way of getting around cities: it‘s best to agree on the fare before setting off on a journey and to use cabs called by hotel staff, rather than vehicles hailed on the street. U.S. citizens require a visa to enter Tanzania. Keep an eye on belongings. azammarine.com tanzaniatourism.com
