Take a look through our recommendations for what to do and see in Tanzania and see if you can resist booking a trip. The beaches, the national parks, the forests, lodges, wildlife, and lakes of this extraordinarily rich nation are the stuff of travel dreams.

Kenya’s lodgings offer something for everyone, whether you’re looking for a boutique hotel in Nairobi, an eco-friendly lodge with stunning views, or a safari camp in the Maasai Mara with luxurious tents, delicious food, and a swimming pool.

When visiting Tanzania, you can be wild by day and civilized by night thanks to camps and lodges that couple unrivaled wildlife experiences with modern-day comforts and city-worthy food and wine.

The Singita Mara River Tented Camp sits amidst the 98,000 acres of northern Tanzania’s Lamai. It is one of the few permanent sites for travelers in this triangle of land sandwiched between the Maasai Mara National Reserve in Kenya and the Mara River in the south. Singita, however, still mimics the adventurous vibe of a mobile safari: Its tents are outfitted with everyday African objects that have been reimagined by local craftspeople. For example, decorative wire baskets mimic the shape and design of the ones traditionally used for sorting grain, and textiles with Maasai-inspired patterns in red, black, and blue add interest to the predominantly neutral interiors. And everything, from the pool pump to the cordless hair dryers, runs on the latest renewable-energy technology (the camp is completely off the grid).

Also known as the Papenoo Valley, the Maroto Valley is a magical place once inhabited by ancient Polynesians.
