Things to do in Tanzania

Tanzania is not a single trip. It is a coffee farm on the slopes of Kilimanjaro, a waterfall hike nobody else is on, a sandbank that disappears at high tide, and a Land Cruiser sitting quiet while the Serengeti wakes up. We live here, so every guide below is written from the ground: what a thing actually costs, when to go, and whether it earns a day of your itinerary. Start with a place or a mood, and work outward from there.
