Danger: From wild animals is minimal on safari as most creatures avoid direct contact with humans unless threatened.

Believe it or not, the most dangerous animal you are likely to encounter in Tanzania is the mosquito!

Cuisine: There is a variety of food. You’ll find international cuisine in hotels, restaurants, and lodges. On the coast, fish, and lobsters with a local dish such as Biryanis and meat or fish curries. Specialties: Spices tea or coffee and “Halua”, a sweet dessert with almonds.
