Best African Safari Goes to Tanzania

24 June 2013

African Safari Tour Specialist SafariBooking.Com conducted a two year survey that revealed Tanzania as Best African Safari Destination beating countries like Botswana, Kenya and South Africa. Tanzania's world class tourist attractions and wildlife resource has long been the charm for millions of tourists so it was not unexpected when the East African country scored 4.8 out of 5 stars in reviews from more than 1000 safari and industry experts. A statement from SafariBookings noted "More than half of the safari travellers have undertaken multiple safaris and have a good idea about what's offered. This secures the fact that Tanzania deserves this top spot. Tanzania was rated the best tourism spot because it is home to two of the most famous safari destinations in the world, the Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater". Earlier this year Tanzania reached a tourism milestone when annual tourist visits reached one million although Deputy Minister for Natural Resources and Tourism, Mr Lazaro Nyalandu had even higher expectations for Tanzania tourism sector, aiming for two million tourist visits and said that "very soon Tanzania will take the lead". Tourism in Tanzania is a thriving sector and the opportunity for investments and revenue in the tourism industry is vast with year end 2012 earning the economy 1.7 billion USD, increasing infrastructure and developments, the tourism sector is set on a steady path to growth.
