Attractions

Protea Hotel Courtyard is an ideal point for over night stays before or after your ventures into the many attractions Tanzania has to offer.

A city trip through Dar es Salaam reveals the multi- cultural identity of Tanzania’s economic capital. Swahili culture reflects in bustling streets and colourful markets as well as unique and arts and crafts, colonial times and influences can be seen in the historical German colonial buildings along the sea front, various Hindu temples and Arab mosques. White beaches embrace both Dar es Salaam’s north- and south coast. 

The Serengeti National Park, famous far across Tanzania’s borders for its unique wildlife, the big migration and legendary savannah, is the hot spot to see the “big five”, (Lion, Leopard, Elephant, Buffalo and Rhinoceros), be it on a game drive, walking safari or even balloon safari.

The large, intact caldera of the Ngorongoro- crater, a UN- world heritage site, is a sanctuary for big mammals and an ideal place to go for a safari, featuring stunning scenic views and abundant wildlife.

A trip to Zanzibar is definitely a must when staying in Dar es Salaam. The spice island with its historical Stone Town is a place to see old Arab buildings, narrow streets, hand-crafted dhow- boats and to experience genuine Swahili culture. Spice tours, dolphin tours, snorkelling and many more can be booked in advance or arranged locally.

Lake Manyara, a vast alkaline lake, stretching along the 600m high East African rift valley, attracts immense flocks of pink flamingos and has a stunning surrounding wildlife. Whether you explore the grassy floodplains by canoe or haunt Manyara’s legendary tree- climbing lions in the acacia woodland, the place is always worth a visit.
