Fascinating Destinations to Visit While In Tanzania

Tanzania is home to many fascinating and adventurous attractions. While holding the title of the largest country in East Africa, it reassures that whoever is visiting will have a lot to discover! 

Those attractions include Cheetah Rock, The Tanzanite Experience Museum, Cultural Heritage Centre, and last but not least The Serengeti National Park. 


1.      Cheetah's Rock



Cheetah's Rock is a wildlife rescue and conservation center located on an island coast of east-central Africa called Zanzibar.  Here at Cheetah's Rock, tourists are welcomed to face-to-face contact with the animals. You can do this by booking a Great Wildlife Tour or a V.I.P Otter Experience. Both will give you the experience of a lifetime. A day at Cheetah's Rock guarantees you fun activities to partake in, starting from feeding the animals to watching dolphins swim. All while learning new and exciting information to share with your friends and family back home. But don't just take my word for it. Here is an inside look at what a day at Cheetah's Rock looks like.


Cheetah Rock was founded in 2014 by an animal lover named Jenny. Through this small rescue center, her main goal was to protect and save wildlife animals and provide them with proper care, felicity, and liberation.  Now the center has grown tremendously with animals as big as a white lion down to Bush Babies. Even if you are unable to visit Cheetah Rock at this time, no worries because you can still contribute! You can support by booking a tour, send medicine, or adopt a new addition to the family.


2. The Tanzanite Experience- Museum



If you want to create lasting memories with family and friends, then the Tanzanite experience is the ideal place for you. This museum offers an in-depth look into African heritage. Visitors will learn about the precious history of Tanzanite itself. The best part is that this whole experience is FREE!! Visitors will be given a tour and learn about the tales surrounding the famous and desirable gemstone. There are also shops located in the museum so that you can get gifts and souvenirs for the whole family. 


This attraction is open year-round to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to visit. In addition to the personal tour provided to visitors, visual representations and audio are also provided to ensure you get the most accurate experience. 

3. Cultural Heritage Centre


The Cultural Heritage Museum founded by Saifuddin Khanbhi in Arusha, Tanzania is the largest art gallery in Africa. This attraction showcased the works of famous artists from the continent for tourists from all over the world. Along with educating visitors on the past and present of many tribes located once in Tanzanite.





  



The Arusha Cultural Heritage Center is home to many well-crafted and traditional sculptures, paintings, stones, ornaments, jewelry, and African antiques. Giving visitors several departments to tour while topping it off with traditional African cuisines and buffets for visitors to enjoy! But that's not all; the center is equipped with a highly-skilled pastry chef located in the coffee shop. There is also a cinema where you can watch documentaries about African history or wildlife in Tanzanite. If you get too swamped from all the fun your having, the center also provides day rooms. The day rooms consist of penthouse suites that come with a beautiful view overlooking Mount Meru. There is also a mask center displaying a variety of African tribe masks along with a museum called Makonde, which displays art that is hand-carved. A spice center is also located in the museum for visitors to buy African spices.

4. Serengeti National Park


Last but not least is the Serengeti National Park. This park happens to be one of the most well-known parks in Africa. Tourists from all over the world traveled to see the habitats of more than one million wild animals. It is also home to many endangered species, such as the black rhino. If you are visiting the park, you have the chance to spot The Great Migration. Here you can see animals of all breeds traveling through the park looking for things such as food. You can also decide how you choose to tour the park. You can walk on foot, drive, or even horseback.

Since the park happens to be very large, you might not get to see everything in just one visit. Which is why there is a range of options for you to choose from. You can either choose to stay in a campsite or a remote luxury lodge.


As far as the cost, it's a pretty great bargain in exchange for seeing some of the most beautiful places and animals in the whole continent of Africa. For visitors over the age of 16 your fee is a total of $60. If you are ages 5 to 16 then your fee is a total of $20. The cost can vary depending where you stay and how many nights you choose to visit the park.
