Country Overview
Home of the famous Serengeti plains, and the vast herds of wildebeest and zebra, and all those marvelous animals you have only seen in zoos or films before, Tanzania is a poor country that is doing its best to encourage tourism and trade, and is well worth checking out, not only for its game but also its great scenic beauty.
Daily Budget
With careful planning and keeping a close watch on all unnecessary expenditure it is possible to come out on a daily budget of about US$35 a day, but be prepared to pay about US$100 a day for a safari.
When to Go!
If you come to Tanzania to catch the annual migration of the wildebeest and zebra, then better plan to be in the country over April when they start the long trek to greener pastures. In June/July, the Festival of the Dhow Countries is held in Zanzibar and communities from along coast join in a two-week feast of film, theatre and music.
