Tanzanie : When to go ?

There are two rainy seasons in the year: a small, from November to January, and a longer from late March to mid May. On the sea coasts and in Zanzibar in particular, it was in March-April that rains were concentrated (very strong). It may be raining several days later.

Tanzanie : Go with a local agency

Cultural richesMixtures and traditions could be the watchwords of Tanzanian culture. There are more than 120 tribes sharing the territory peacefully. From the huge Bantu tribe accounting for 98% per cent of the population to that of the Maasa, the most notorious, hundreds of ethnic groups clashed on the sacred lands of Tanzania.Some scenic landscapesThis is undoubtedly the 1 appeal of Tanzania. Apart from its fauna and flora, Tanzania has wonderful landscapes. Coming from Dar es Salaam, or Nairobi, destined for the North, or from the South to Zambia or Malawi, we are captivated by these heights, these summits that you contemplate. With a guide commissioned by a local agency, these landscapes will have no secrets for you!An original fauna and floraYes, Tanzania is perhaps one of the last heaven on earth that man must protect. From the savannah, crushed by heat, to the tropical forest, the animal is the king with the lion accompanying the other members of the Big Five ("The Five Largest"): the elephant, buffalo, rhino, and leopard.A warm populationA smile, a nice word to take news: The Tanzanian really have a sense of hospitality. Everywhere, there is always a "Karibu" for tourists ("Welcome" in Kiswahili, the national language).

Tanzania is a poor country, among the poorest in the world. The purchasing power of a Tanzanian city, if it is higher than that of a Tanzanian countryside, remains low despite the low price level. Because their salaries are low: about 100 € per month for a primary teacher... It is difficult for them to save, even more spending, or to feed their families.FormalitésTourists must have a visa to enter Tanzania. Visas may be requested from the Embassy of the United Republic of Tanzania in France, directly at the airports of Dar es Salaam, Arusha, Mwanza and Zanzibar, but also in the ports of Dar es Salaam, Zanzibar and Kigoma, and at certain land borders, including those in Casselman (border with Kenya), Mutukula (Uganda border), Tunduma (Zambian border) and Kasumulu (border border).).For single entry visas in Paris, the price is currently € 50, payable in cash or cash money payable to the Embassy of Tanzania in France. For those taken on Tanzanian soil, the price is USD 50. The regular visa is issued for a period of three months, renewable once for another two months, without leaving the country. The yellow fever vaccination certificate is increasingly required. Getting vaccinated before coming is therefore preferable.
