Travelling to Tanzania without emptying the piggy bank: yes, it is possible!
Do you think that travelling to Tanzania is only for rich people with safari hats and 600-euro binoculars? Well, it's not. Tanzania is also for adventure-hungry backpackers, families on a budget and travellers who prefer real experiences to catalogue resorts.
How to make it low-cost (but without losing the magic)?
- Fly smart: Use price alerts and try multi-destination flights. Sometimes getting to Nairobi and crossing to Tanzania is cheaper than flying direct.
- Move like a localDala-dala (minibuses) and regular buses are chaotic, but cheap and part of the Tanzanian charm.
- Accommodation with soul: Swap the resort for local hostels, eco-lodges or campsites within parks. More experience, less expense.
- Eat like a TanzanianA good ugali with fish in a market will cost you less than a coffee in Europe... and it feeds three times as much.
- Safari yes, but smartFind local operators or share a safari with other travellers. There is life beyond luxury.
From the Serengeti to Zanzibar, Tanzania offers landscapes that look like something out of a dream... without the need for a mortgage.
Because luxury is not always measured in stars, sometimes it is measured in sunsets.
