Tailor-made Tanzania
Tanzania has developed a rich mix of African and Arabian influences that are much in evidence today, along the coast and outlying islands. Here you will find marine diversity, with healthy reefs with good visibility, and many exciting dive sites. The exotic islands of Mafia, Zanzibar and Pemba offer contrasting dives sites, with Zanzibar's fringing coral atolls ensuring an abundance of marine life, its east, oceanic coast offers the chance of encounters with big pelagics. Pemba Island offers spectacular wall diving, clear water and big marine life, making it one of East Africa's premier diving locations.

Tanzania Above The Water
Although Tanzania is a safari destination without equal, containing many world-class national parks and game reserves, there is much more. Relax on tropical beaches, climb the snowcapped peak of Mt Kilimanjaro or just admire Lake Victoria and Lake Tanganyika. Tanzania is a winning combination. You can fly straight from a safari camp in the morning and reach the shores of the Indian Ocean in time for an afternoon dip. A perfect destination for a romantic honeymoon, an adventure holiday or just to dive or relax.
Top Tip
Why not add on a safari to your diving experience in Tanzania? Saadani National Park is within driving distance of Dar es Saalam and Selous a short flight.
