Everything there is to do in Tanzania, set out by the experience rather than by the place. The headline ones are here — the migration, a Kilimanjaro route, a walking safari, a crater, a reef — and so are the ones travellers tend to hear about only once they have arrived: a night drive, a Hadzabe morning, a tea estate above Tukuyu, a dhow at the turn of the tide.
Every entry opens a guide to the activity itself: where in the country it is done and why there rather than somewhere else, what a day of it actually involves, the season that governs it, and what to ask an operator before you commit to it. Some of these are a whole trip and some are an afternoon, and the guide says which.
Where you can go, rather than what you can do there, is on the destinations index. Every safari on this site is sold and run by an independent tour company.
Every Activity, by Theme 77
Each one has a guide covering where it is done, what it involves and how to choose an operator. Activities with no trip listed against them yet still have the guide, because the listings grow and the country does not change to suit them.
