The Eastern Circuit of Tanzania is a less-explored region that offers a unique and off-the-beaten-track experience for travellers. The circuit includes several national parks, wildlife reserves, and cultural heritage sites. The Usambara and Uluguru mountains are perfect for hiking and trekking enthusiasts. The Mkomazi National Park offers a chance to see rare wildlife species, such as the African wild dog and the black rhino.

For cultural experiences, the Eastern Circuit offers visits to the vibrant and historic coastal city of Tanga. The Eastern Circuit is also home to stunning beaches along Pangani down to Saadani National Park and islands, including Zanzibar, Pemba, and Mafia islands. These are ideal for those seeking a relaxing beach vacation, snorkelling, and scuba diving.

Best time to visit the Eastern Circuit in Tanzania: June to October.
