MOSHI, Tanzania – Tourism is a major part of Tanzania’s revenue, and it’s no wonder given the amazing natural habitat and features here. Featuring 20 national parks, including the most famous Serengeti, and the world’s highest free-standing mountain, Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania hosts over a million adventurous travelers each year.
Zara Tours, an award-winning East African travel company has some advice to offer to explorers to the area:
Rest
Being well-rested is critical. Sometimes when people vacation, they want to push through and see everything. However, when they return home, they are often exhausted and need a vacation from their vacation! Build in downtime when you travel, giving yourself enough time to see both planned sights and allowing for spontaneity.
If hiking Mount Kilimanjaro, choose a longer trek to allow for proper acclimation. Even one more day can contribute to your success and is more cost-effective than coming back to try again. Take your time and be sure to rest.
Diet
Diet is also important and an often-overlooked part of travel. Especially if doing a physically challenging adventure, like mountain climbing or lots of walking, bring snacks to build energy. Trying different cuisine is fun, but you will also want foods that are familiar so you don’t disrupt your digestion.
Lodging
Where you stay is important. Know your goals when choosing accommodations in Tanzania. Hotel and camping options are available, so be clear about the experience you desire and make sure expectations and reality match.
For example, if you are trekking Kilimanjaro, camping is part of the multi-day experience. Full-day safaris often include wildcamps for overnight rest. This is like camping but with private bathrooms and exotic semi-permanent tent structures. Places like Zanzibar offer beautiful full-amenity hotels and are perfect for relaxing comfortably after hiking or safari.
