Gap Year Tanzania

Gap Year Tanzania

For a great gap year Tanzania takes some beating, and is one of the most popular Africa Gap Year destinations.

Incandescent turquoise waters, pure white beaches of Zanzibar, Crimson garbed Masai warriors passing you on Red dirt roads, great game parks and incredible safaris are just the tip of the gap year Tanzania iceberg. For those getting active there is a mountain to climb, and not just any one wither one, a gap year Tanzania favourite: The magnificent Kilimanjaro. For those craving cultural discovery, you are able to mix with the Masai, the indigenous nomadic herdsmen that have roamed the African plains for centuries.
Your Gap year Tanzania will also present you with the opportunity to explore the cradle of humankind, the birth place of man, where we originated aeons ago, when some bright spark and the idea to take a prehistoric gap year and head off and explore the world, making it up in to the middle east and eventually populating Europe and beyond.

During your gap year Tanzania, you can visit the big 5 in some of the worlds most impressive game parks, and truly experience Africa. Fortunately gap year Tanzania activities are easy to do within a short time period, as many of the most spectacular game parks are located in the North East of the country, in the foothills of Kilimanjaro, making it an easy option to have a wildlife experience and do the Kili Climb in one go, then it is a days travel to hit Dar es Saalam (and a short hop across to Zanzibar for some ultimate chill time).

Tanzanians are warm and welcoming, and some of the nicest people in East Africa, you will be sure to have a warm welcome on your gap year Tanzania, with little kids running up to you in the street greeting you with an inquisitive "Jambo Muzungu". You will be surprised to find all the towns named by Coca Cola, and that there are several hundred verities of banana, for just about every cooking purpose imaginable.
