Reasons To
Visit Tanzania

  • Beaches

    It is extremely easy to add some beach relaxation in Zanzibar after a tiring safari on the mainland; the beaches are stunning and diving is excellent. You don't have to travel far either as the island is only a 30 minute flight from Dar Es Salaam. Tanzania is therefore the ideal location to combine a safari and beach break.

  • Big Cats & Safari Wildlife

    Tanzania has some of Africa's most famous and best national parks and reserves where you are guaranteed fantastic big cat sightings. The Serengeti, Selous and the Crater are just some of the best game viewing areas to visit.

  • Birds

    Tanzania has more than 1,000 species of birds and some spectacular places to view them. Lake Natron is also the only known breeding ground for East Africa's millions of lesser flamingos which cover the lake between August and October.

  • Chimpanzees

    The Mahale Mountains - towering almost 2km above the shore of Lake Tanganyika are home to some of the last remaining wild chimpanzees. There are currently around 900 which are habituated to humans, and tracking them is a magical experience.

  • Great Migration

    One of the highlights of the Serengeti National park is the great annual migration which passes through this amazing wilderness. Up to 1.8 million wildebeest and zebra have been counted doing their annual trip in search of the sweet grasses and the rains.

  • Local Culture

    Tanzania has an evocative mix of people and cultures with 120 ethnic groups making up the diverse population. The largest group are the Sukuma but perhaps the most memorable are the Maasai who you will often see in Northern Tanzania herding their cattle, goats and sheep.

Onsea House

Arusha

Onsea House is a lovely little lodge, sitting either side of a small track near the village of Usa River.

Above the track lies the main family house, where Dirk and Inneke Janssens-Onsea and their young daughter live. From here the views down over the valley are spectacular, weather you're eating bacon and eggs in the breakfast room, or enjoying a candlelit dinner from the deck outside.

The food here is certainly worth a mention, Dirk's cousin Axel is well known as one of the best chefs in Arusha and the dinners here are justifiably popular.

There are two bedrooms in the main house, and two in the guest cottage, which lies below the road alongside the swimming pool. The bedrooms are decorated in colonial style, with creamy white-washed walls and dark wooden furniture.

The two rooms in the main house open out onto the dining terrace, whilst the two in the cottage face over the pool. All of the rooms have en suite bathrooms, and are often decorated with fresh flowers from the nearby farms.

For those with time to spare, there are small but pretty gardens on the sloping hillside around Onsea, and a jacuzzi up above the lodge.
