There’s a beautiful feeling when you spend your childhood hearing so much about a place, and when you finally go it exceeds your expectations. Tanzania plays with all your senses; the food is delicious, the spices and coffee that tickle your nose are plenty, the water is warm and oh, so blue.
Area to stay:
- Stone Town (for an ‘authentic’ old town vibe)
