In Tanzania there are many national parks where you can discover the Big Five either with a guide or with a rental car on your own. Watch elephants, lions, gnus, zebras, buffalos and giraffes in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Tarangire National Park or Serengeti National Park.

It is best to take an off-road vehicle if you want to go on your own. There won't be any problems with an SUV  as rental car, even on unpaved roads.

Kilimanjaro

You have a beautiful view of Kilimanjaro from Arusha. From here most of the tours to the highest mountain in Africa start. If you climb Kilimanjaro, you will encounter five different climate and vegetation zones. However, the hike is not for people who are not into sports. But if you dare the ascent, you will be thrilled!

Treat yourself to a break on the dream island of Zanzibar

You can reach the spice island Zanzibar either by plane or by ferry from Dar Es Salaam.

But not only the beaches of Zanzibar are worth a visit. Stone Town is the oldest district of Zanzibar City and got its name from the coral limestone with which the buildings were made of. Stroll through the many alleys with imposing doors and souvenir shops, enjoy the sunset on one of the roof terraces and visit the Forodhani Food Gardens Market, a night market where you can sample all kinds of delicacies.

You will definitely enjoy your stay in Stone Town.

Driveboo tip:

Make sure you treat yourself to a coffee at Zanzibar Coffee House. The view from the roof terrace is priceless!
