DivingZanzibar offers an excellent combination of shallow water reefs around the surrounding offshore islands, and high walls, deep channels and shipwrecks for the more experienced. The best and most varied diving can be found along the northeastern coast around Mnemba Island, with beautiful coral gardens and wall dives. Around March the giant but gentle whale sharks stop here on their migration and are the highlight of a dive in this atoll. Stone Town has some interesting nearby wrecks and well-preserved coral reefs. There are several dive schools in Stone Town and Matemwe.
Game viewingTanzania boasts
outstanding opportunities for viewing wildlife in their natural habitat and offers some of the finest game viewing on the continent. A vast amount of the country is protected within a park or reserve and of these the vast open plains of the Serengeti, famous for the annual migration of millions of animals, is the most well known. Africa's Eden, the unique Ngorongoro Crater, is another popular safari destination. The word 'safari' had its origins in Tanzania, a Swahili word meaning 'journey', and there are unlimited safari options that can be tailor-made by any tour operator, with accommodation ranging from luxury lodges to camping. A journey by vehicle, foot, horseback or hot air balloon into prime game-viewing country is an experience not to be missed.
