Why this trip
The beginning of a safari or an island trip: Dar es Salaam is Tanzania's largest city on the Indian Ocean and for couples less a destination than a gateway. If you plan one day, you get an insight into everyday life, markets and cuisine. In the Village Museum you see traditional houses from several regions of the country, and the National Museum and House of Culture shows history and art. The Askari Monument marks the centre of the city.
For an excursion off the coast, Sinda Island is a good choice, a small island for swimming and snorkelling. The drive to Mikumi National Park leads into savannah landscape with giraffes and elephants. From July to October is the best time, dry and pleasant, above all for safari. Zanzibar, Arusha, Tarangire and Nyerere National Park lie close as neighbouring destinations.
The journey takes about nine to eleven hours, usually with a stopover, and for Swiss citizens the rule is: visa required, by eVisa or on arrival, please check in advance. If you want to combine safari and beach, choose Dar es Salaam as a hub. On a video call, Honeymoon will draw up a route with you that links bush and sea without haste.
