Why this trip
Tanzania begins on the Indian Ocean, and for active travellers Dar es Salaam is above all a gateway: from here ferries run to Zanzibar, aeroplanes to the Selous and roads to the south. The city itself is hot and lively, with harbour, markets and street food. If you seek movement, visit Sinda Island for snorkelling and beach, the Village Museum for culture and the Askari Monument for a short walk in the centre. Mikumi National Park lies within reach as an excursion and offers wildlife viewing away from the major routes.
Nyerere National Park, Zanzibar and Tarangire are further neighbours. If you are acclimatising, use the morning for a walk on the coast before the heat rises, and buy water, sunscreen and mosquito protection for the coming days. That way the safari begins with a good feeling, and the body has got used to climate and time difference. July to October is the dry season, the air is less humid and the paths are firmer.
Plan one to two days here for acclimatisation before the actual stages begin. How your route continues is something you clarify in the video call.
