Travel trends 2025
Travel in 2025 is about more than just destinations. It’s about relaxation, meaningful experiences and personal growth. From rest and reflection to sporty and adventurous expeditions, these are the trends* that are keeping the travel world moving:
1. Soft travel
For those seeking peace and quiet, Tanzania offers an abundance of possibilities. Combine wellness and nature with a stay in a lovely eco-lodge in the Serengeti, Arusha National Park or on one of the idyllic islands off the coast of Tanzania. On the yoga trip to Zanzibar, start your day with yoga at sunrise and enjoy a traditional African massage in the evening. For a deeper mental reset, participate in meditation sessions or listen to the wisdom of Maasai or Hadzabe tribal elders.
2. Astro adventure
With minimal light pollution, Tanzania is one of the best places in the world for stargazing. In the middle of the vast savannah of the Serengeti, at the beautiful Lake Manyara or in the rugged landscape of Ruaha National Park, you sleep under a sky full of twinkling stars. This magical experience, surrounded by nature and the company of wild animals, is made even more impressive by the mythical African stories of your safari guide. A journey with not only adventure, but also depth and new insights.

3. Art-venture
Tanzania offers art experiences that stimulate your senses. And while you can find local woodcarvers all over Tanzania, nowhere else will you discover as much colorful Tinga Tinga art as on the island of Zanzibar. On the beach, at local markets, and in the bustling Stone Town, you will have every opportunity to admire this unique art form.
Want to get started yourself? Then join one of the workshops where you will learn to make traditional jewelry or baskets. This way, you will not only take home a unique souvenir, but also an unforgettable experience.
4. Botanical adventure
Tanzania, 23 times the size of the Netherlands, consists of almost 40% protected area. The country is home to 22 national parks – including the famous Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater – but also 28 game reserves and many other protected landscapes. In line with its rich nature, Tanzania even has the most game per km² in all of Africa.
Even in and around the safari capital Arusha, but also spread throughout Tanzania, you will find beautiful tropical gardens and plantations where you can spend the night or simply enjoy a visit. The virgin rainforest in the Usambara Mountains and the mangroves of Zanzibar offer various opportunities to discover their unique biodiversity up close.
5. Back to basics
For those who want to go back to basics, Tanzania offers safaris that allow you to become one with nature. Go on a walking safari in the Serengeti or Nyerere National Park, or help local farmers harvest coffee or cashew nuts. These experiences allow you to embrace the simple life and offer plenty of room for reflection and adventure. A minimalist camping experience in the middle of nature gives you the chance to truly unwind. Under the guidance of a guide and ranger, you will discover the unparalleled beauty of Tanzania’s wilderness, while traveling with a minimal ecological footprint.
6. Sport mode
Sporty travellers can indulge themselves in Tanzania. Climb the majestic Mount Kilimanjaro or the lesser-known, but no less spectacular, Mount Meru. For water sports enthusiasts, Zanzibar offers a paradise with opportunities for kitesurfing, diving and snorkelling along coral reefs teeming with life. Runners will also get their money’s worth during the Kilimanjaro Marathon (23 February 2025) – a unique experience that combines sport and nature in an unforgettable way.
Why Tanzania?
With pristine nature, rich culture and a focus on sustainability, Tanzania offers everything that fits the trends of 2025. Whether you are looking for peace or adventure, art or nature. Be inspired and start your adventure in 2025. It will change you. For good.
