Tanzania

“Jambo!” – A warm African hello

Tanzania, home to some of Africa’s most famous national parks.

Located in East Africa along the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, Tanzania boasts three of Africa’s best-known lakes – Lake Victoria in the north; Lake Tanganyika in the west; and Lake Nyasa in the south. Tanzania is known for its vast wilderness areas including the plains of the Serengeti National Park (a safari Mecca populated by the ‘Big 5’); and Kilimanjaro National Park (home to Africa’s highest mountain).

Tropical islands are another of Tanzania’s appeals. The island of Mafia has a marine park with whale sharks and coral reefs, which make it one of Africa’s premier tourist destinations. Known as the Spice Island, the beautiful Arabic-inspired Zanzibar has a rich culture and history, coupled with idyllic white beaches hailed as some of the world’s best.

The power supply is UK / European standard voltage of 220/240 and power sockets are UK style (square pin type). It is important to note that if you want to use US appliances, you will need a voltage converter as well as a plug converter. Power cuts and voltage fluctuation are not uncommon. Most of the safari lodges have generators or alternative source of power and may have specific times when they run.

Insurance to cover for medical, personal property and other personal risks during your safari is essential. Sense of Africa requires that all clients arrange for personal insurance.
