If you have read Hemingway's short story "The Snows of Kilimanjaro", you should know that the protagonist has never even touched the foot of Kilimanjaro. But in reality, this giant known as the "Roof of Africa" has stood on the border of Tanzania for thousands of years.
Tanzania is known as a country that " lacks everything but wild animals ".
Safari, Swahili, means "travel", English translation is "Game Drive", and Chinese translation is "Safari". But don’t get me wrong, this has nothing to do with Survival in the wilderness. On the contrary, it is now the way to travel to the mysterious African continent.
Without stepping on the African savannah, you cannot truly feel the magic of this continent. When facing Africa on the red soil, all descriptions in words are a little pale. At this moment, if you have begun to envision the vast expanse in your mind, you might as well open your hands and say the opening words with us: Hakuna Matata!

Tanzania is not cheap at all, it can even be said to be very expensive. Don’t be fooled by the name “one of the least developed countries in the world”. Do you still remember that "wild luxury" Kenya? This country is more "wild" and more "luxurious". Special reminder: When booking accommodation, make sure you check whether it is by room or by person , and note that the price unit is US dollars .
The currency in circulation in Tanzania is Tanzanian Shilling (Tanzanian Shilling), and the currency code is TZS. The denominations of the banknotes are 10,000, 5,000, 2,000, 1,000, and 500. Coins are 500, 200, 100, 50.

Safari-a vacation trip for rich people
The vast East African savannah is divided into two parts by the border between northern Tanzania and Kenya. 90% of it is in Tanzania and is called Serengeti (Serengeti).
Countless herbivores live here: wildebeest, gazelle and zebra. In order to avoid the yellowing of the grasslands caused by the dry season, they will follow the footsteps of the rainy season and seek water sources in this "boundless plain", thereby staged the annual great migration of wild animals.
Millions of animals are rushing for survival on the vast grasslands. Such a magnificent scene has naturally attracted tourists from all over the world, who come to Africa with excitement and awe to experience the meaning of life.
Of course, what’s the saying? To say that traveling in Africa does not include accommodation is a hooligan. In this case, we must talk about accommodation in Tanzania .
Traveling to Africa is expensive, and accommodation accounts for the largest proportion.
If you have any doubts about how "luxurious (qiang) luxury (qian)" high-end accommodation in Africa can be, then you have to mention the Four Seasons located on the Serengeti grassland, adjacent to the Seronera River Hotel(Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti).
The Four Seasons Hotel is located in the heart of the Serengeti National Park, making it easy to get to anywhere in the Serengeti.
In Africa, the first criterion for judging the quality of a hotel is whether there is a natural water source nearby.
The location of the Four Seasons Hotel was also carefully considered, and the hotel's viewing area and swimming pool were specially built next to a natural waterhole in order to allow residents to enjoy the best wildlife viewing experience.
In this way, there will be a community of herbivorous animals living here, so there will also be carnivorous animals hunting here. Residents can enjoy exquisite afternoon tea while watching the bustling wildlife.
The Four Seasons Hotel has prepared much more than that.
In order to take care of visiting families, the hotel built a wildlife exhibition hall to teach children about the prairie;
In order to help tourists improve their photography skills, the hotel regularly arranges well-known photographers to give classes;
In order to ensure the privacy and experience of the "VIP" guests, the hotel has 'deliberately' set the room price at a starting price of US$1,000-15,000 per night .
Yes, you read that right, it’s US dollars, it’s the starting price.
But does “three meals included” sound like such a good deal?
Follow-Wild Animal Migration
The Great Migration of Wild Animals, known as the most magnificent and tragic on earth, takes place every year on the soil of this East African savannah. Repeatedly.
Except from July to August every year, the tragic "Tianhe Crossing" occurs on the Mara River in the Masai Mara grassland in Kenya. In the remaining 10 months of the year, the Great Migration of wild animals takes place in Tanzania.
With such ample time, is there any reason not to choose Tanzania as the destination for your African trip?
In order to satisfy tourists' desire to follow the Great Migration and enjoy the highest level of safari experience, Tanzania's famous "wild luxury" hotel brand &Beyond has launched a movable luxury tent hotel— —Serengeti Under Canvas.
Why is it called "movable"? That's because &Beyond camp will "mobile camp" in 5 different locations in the Serengeti savanna as the Great Migration passes. The purpose is to bring the closest contact and the most natural and direct experience to residents.
&Beyond consists of a total of 9 tents, each resident has an independent fully open barracks. It not only ensures comfort, but also makes it convenient to experience the all-round charm of the prairie. Whether it's a couple traveling or a family vacation, &Beyond can provide the most comfortable service and stay experience.
Don't underestimate these tents, from the entrybar to the independent sink, as well as the large and soft bed, and even a real Flush toiletand improved mobileshower.
The services of the camps represented by "Wild Luxury" in Africa are among the best in the world.
The unique camp dinner includes almost all the simplest and crudest African elements.
The bright moonlight covered the quiet prairie under the night with silver. The candlelight is dancing, and the dinner carefully prepared by professional chefs is being cooked one by one. Fragrant food, paired with good red wine, and a touch of aromatic incense drove away the mosquitoes. In the distance, the intermittent barking of hyenas and the roar of lions could be heard. All this seems so unreal, but it actually happens.
In the early morning, when the first ray of sunshine reveals its face on the distant horizon.
After quietly enjoying the hot breakfast at the camp, follow the guidance of the private guide to explore the wide variety of wild animals on the prairie, which also come with special skills. The lion climbing up the tree, the arrogant giraffe, the cute rhinoceros, the violent gazelle.
Encounter the coyote enjoying the shade under the trees, and disturb the cheetah peeping in the grass.
At this moment, you seem to be an outsider in this world.
This is the way wild animals should live, running freely and endlessly.
This is the Serengeti savanna.
This is the last habitat for wild animals.

Back to reality: Serengeti Under Canvas campsite rates start at $1,600 per night. I never thought that living in a tent would make you cry, right?
Enjoy - The Maldives of Africa
Having experienced the wildness of wild animals and the vastness of the East African grasslands, make the last stop of your trip to Tanzania Zanzibar Island (Zanzibar) . Wash away the fatigue of the journey and leave the most wonderful memories.
The largest city in eastern Tanzania is Dar es Salaam, an important transit point for international flights to Tanzania and the former capital.
The world-famous Zanzibar Island, known as the "Maldives of Africa", is just across the sea from it.
Unlike resort islands all over the world, here you will not only find beautiful sea views, but also cultural and historical relics that have been preserved for hundreds of years.
Over the centuries, Arab, Indian and African cultures have blended together on this island, gradually developing its own customs and history. Throughout Africa, East Africa is full of Middle Eastern influences from architectural styles to cultural characteristics.
Mosques can be seen everywhere here, paired with white sand beaches, palm trees, tropical style and fairy tale-like Sultan's Palace, as well as the thousand-year-old Stone City. Let people not only experience the wildness of Africa, but also enjoy the enthusiasm of Arabia.
Stone City is named after the fact that most of the buildings in the city are built with coral stone. The walls painted with coral rock and lime mortar are unique and match the world-famous "Zanzibar Gate". It is a unique combination of Arabic, Indian and African Swahili cultures.
Today Zanzibar is one of East Africa's largest trading centers . Thanks to its superior geographical location, it is an important transit point for merchant ships from the Red Sea, Persian Gulf and Indian Ocean to the African continent.
Today, whether it is the exotic Stone Town, the unforgettable white sand beaches in the north, or the turquoise waters, they are calling all diving enthusiasts.
Whenever dusk falls, Zanzibar Island's famous Seafood Food Stalls will spread out their stalls to welcome tourists from all over the world. Although the stall may be a little shabby, the freshness of the ingredients is guaranteed.
The so-called people rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and rely on the sea to eat the sea. The warm Indian Ocean currents bring abundant seafood to Zanzibar Island. All kinds of fish, crabs, lobsters, prawns and squid, as long as they can be caught in the sea, can become delicacies on the plate.
The accommodation that must be mentioned here is the three-story glass cabin floating on the Indian Ocean - The Manta Resort.

This unique three-story underwater hotel suite , which can only be reached by ferry, floats alone on the beautiful Great Barrier Reef. The bedroom located under the sea has a 360-degree underwater view, and you can watch the marine life attracted by the light 24 hours a day.
If you don't mind privacy, this may be the most atmospheric double bed in the world.
Of course, as a unique underwater bedroom, the cost is naturally quite impressive. Starting rates are over $1,800 per night, and you have to book first.
Note: When traveling to Tanzania, you should try to choose neutral colors such as khaki, beige, green and so on.
Avoid dark blue and black as they attract a local species of fly.
Remember to remember .
