Tanzania Top Activities & Sports

Tanzania has some incredible sporting journeys to offer those who seek them out.”

Sporting holiday of a lifetime

BALLOON FLIGHTS

Flights by balloon take off as dawn breaks over the Serengeti, the perfect silence of the early morning plains broken only by the soft roar of the balloon.

Far below, wildebeest scatter, looking everywhere but up at the silent visitor that floats over their world. Giraffe stand next to acacia trees, untroubled by the airborne visitors. After the thrill of

landing, a champagne breakfast awaits, the air becoming warmer as the sun climbs in the sky and curious zebra look up from their grazing at the chink of cutlery in the still, warm bush.

DIVING

Scuba diving the coral reefs off Tanzania’s coast at Zanzibar and Mafia Island offer some of the world’s finest scuba diving. Diving is possible all year round, although the Kusi Monsoon (strongest June-Sept) is accompanied by choppy seas and strong currents that make the more exposed reefs inaccessible. There can also be strong winds in December and January. Visibility is best from November to march, before the long rains set in.

DEEP SEA FISHING

The water around Zanzibar and Pemba islands is considered by

experts to offer some of the best fishing in the world, especially the Pemba Channel, between Zanzibar and Pemba islands, or around Mafia Island, south of Zanzibar. Big game fish include barracuda, kingfish, sailfish, billfish, wahoo, Dorado and blue marlin.

INLAND FISHING

Rivers are stocked with trout around Mt Kilimanjaro and Mt Meru. Large rivers such as the Kilombero and Great Ruaha offer fabulous sport fishing for Tiger fish. On the great lakes, especially Lake Victoria, one can fish for large Nile Perch.

PARAGLIDING & MICROLIGHT FLIGHTS

There are some fabulous areas to paraglide. Very few people paraglide in Tanzania, therefore it is a novelty. Always seek permission from the local village, explain what you are doing and where you think you will land (it is illegal to fly over national parks). Just some of the areas to fly are the Usambara, the Rift valley and numerous hills around Mt. Meru. Microlight flights are now also available over Lake Manyara and the Great Rift Valley.

Lazy Lagoon Island

Surrender In Serenity To The Sound Of The Sea

Two kilometres off the shore of mainland Tanzania is an idyllic private island. With turquoise waters, and white sandy beaches, this coral surrounded island is always isolated from land, maintaining its exclusivity to guests of Lazy Lagoon Island Lodge. Although remote and nestled away behind mangrove islands, Lazy Lagoon is easy to visit by those residing in Dar es Salaam. The discovery of this paradise requires only a short drive to the boat pick up location just south of Bagamoyo, and a 15-minute ferry across the beautiful lagoon to Lazy Lagoon Island.

Once on the island, guests can enjoy nine kilometres of private island wonders, sharing with only a small number of rooms. Spend your days exploring the area with long walks along the white beaches, strolls through the mangrove forest and investigate the rock pools filled with colourful sea creatures. Being a small island, lazy

Lagoon is quite unique by offering sea swimming at all tides, unlike much of East Africa. The coral reef surrounding and protecting the island offers a great opportunity for snorkelling, and the artificial jetty attracts schools of brightly coloured fish, creating an aquarium like experience.

The island contains an interesting ecosystem, with many small mammals such as bush babies, suni antelope, vervet monkeys and bush pig, along with birds and butterflies. Low tide washes up a plethora or exotically coloured starfish, seas urchins and crabs. All of these share their habitats with the natural mangrove forest.

Following the decline of the nearby Kaole settlement, Bagamoyo grew out of the slave and ivory trade. It was also referred to as the “gateway to the dark continent” by explorers including Livingstone, Burton, Speke, Stanley, Grant and others who used Bagamoyo to launch their expeditions to find the source of the Nile.

Lazy Lagoon features 12 en suite natural makuti beach bandas, each bandas are built and furnished using local businesses, and resources. Each banda is situated along the beach, enjoying uninterrupted views of the ocean. From the sundowner lounge above the bar, guests can watch the stunning sunrise over Zanzibar and set over the palm trees of Bagamoyo.

Later, Bagamoyo became the capital of German East Africa. At Lazy Lagoon, guests have the chance to embark on a day excursion to Bagamoyo with a guide, learning about its detailed and prominent history, similar to that of Stone Town.

One can feel the Swahili atmosphere as they follow the flotilla of local fishing boats tacking around the island to get from their villages to the fishing grounds beyond.

Days are often structured around the delicious meals provided, making use of fresh local produce and fish straight

Lazy Lagoon allows you to get away from it all and relax, whether sunbathing with a cocktail in hand, or partaking in some of the activities available. Being a lagoon, guests can enjoy more tame waters compared to the open ocean, allowing for sea kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing, sailing, swimming, and snorkelling. At low tide, there are many interesting uninhabited sand banks and mangrove forests to explore, accessible by paddle board and kayak.

from the ocean. The friendly waiters are always around to help and keep your glasses filled, doing everything they can to help you settle into the island life. At night the most spectacular stargazing commences, looking out for the shooting stars and identifying constellations, made even more defined after the generator is turned off.

This island lodge truly provides an ‘off the beaten track’ experience, where visitors can not only rest and unwind away from hordes of people, but also get to know and explore the real Swahili Coast.

KITESURFING

Kitesurfing has become the hottest and most popular up-and-coming activity in Zanzibar. Kitesurfing centres are popping up all along the east coast of the island, providing adrenaline seeking visitors with the chance to undertake lessons and get out on the waves while on holiday.

CANOEING

Canoeing trips are available in the Arusha National Park and are a wonderful experience, drifting past

herds of elephant, giraffe, hippo and buffalo as you cruise along the shores of the lake surrounded by countless flocks of birds. Canoes are also available for rental throughout Zanzibar, which provide a perfect opportunity to enjoy the rare birds of Zanzibar’s many mangrove forests.

BLUE SAFARIS

The soft chug of an outboard engine, or the whispering flap of a canvas sail; the so-called ‘blue safaris’ in Tanzania are a tranquil and relaxing way to watch wildlife, enjoy snorkelling, or simply admire the beautiful scenery of the water’s edge. This is one of the best ways to see the Selous Game Reserve, up the huge muddy brown sweep of the Rufiji River, spotting hundreds of resident hippos and crocodiles. Sail into chimpanzee territory on a dhow, skimming over the fresh, crystal waters of Lake Tanganyika to Mahale Mountains National Park, or travel up the Wami River in Saadani, surrounded by amazing birdlife, hippos and

crocodiles. Visit the Indian Ocean islands, sometimes several in a day, enjoying the coral reefs, marine life and birds of each island along the way.

DEEP SEA AND INLAND FISHING

The water around Zanzibar and Pemba islands is considered by experts to offer some of the best fishing in the world, especially the Pemba Channel, between Zanzibar and Pemba, and around Mafia Island, south of Zanzibar. Rivers are stocked with trout around Mt Kilimanjaro and Mt Meru. Large rivers such as the Kilombero and Great Ruaha offer fabulous sport fishing for Tiger Fish, and large Nile Perch can be caught in the great lakes.

DHOW CRUISES

When Sultans ruled and the monsoon winds carried trade across the Indian Ocean, the vessel used was the Dhow, with its characteristic lateen sail made with merikani cloth. So step back in time, and sail

The coral reefs off Tanzania’s coast around Zanzibar, Pemba and Mafia Island offer some of the world’s finest scuba diving and snorkelling.

Diving is possible all year round, however visibility

is best from November to March, before the long rains set in.

WHALE WATCHING

Tanzania’s Indian Ocean is home to one of the least known populations of Humpback Whales in the world. Researchers from Stockholm University and the University of Dar es Salaam are studying the Humpback Whales found near Zanzibar to learn more about their population and conservation

status. The herds of migrating whales arrive in the waters around Zanzibar in late July, and August is now becoming the most popular month for sightings. waves while on holiday.

For novices, you can enroll for the diving courses which are offered by several hotels plus lodges back on the mainland. So book today for a Tanzania Safari to enjoy the wonderful water adventures the country offers.

EXIM BANK TANZANIA REDEFINES EXCLUSIVITY

Launch of Elite Banking and Unveiling of the Mastercard World Card Suite

In a landmark gesture of maintaining its customer-centric drive to elevate premium banking in Tanzania, Exim Bank officially launched its Elite Banking service during an exclusive black-tie event on 30th of July at Serena Hotel, Dar es Salaam. The exclusive evening gathering brought together the bank’s most distinguished clients, esteemed board members, and key partners, all eager to celebrate this significant leap forward in personalized financial services.

In his keynote address, Exim Bank CEO, Mr. Jaffari Matundu, expressed heartfelt gratitude to loyal clients and shared a visionary outlook on the future of personalized banking.

“Elite Banking is not just a new service - it is a symbol of our commitment to putting our most valued clients at the center of everything we do,” said Mr.

Matundu.

At the core of the launch was the introduction of a new philosophy: Exclusivity Redefined. This signals a shift from traditional exclusivity based on status to a modern vision grounded in relevance, personalization, and meaningful access.

“Exclusivity Redefined is about more than premium products.

It reflects a commitment to delivering deeply personalized experiences, curated lifestyle privileges, and service that anticipates needs and exceeds expectations,” Mr. Matundu added.

Mr. Andrew Lyimo, Head of Retail Banking at Exim Bank, introduced the Elite Banking proposition and the dedicated team behind it. He

noted that the service responds directly to the evolving needs of the bank’s premium clientele by offering elevated access and refined service.

“Elite Banking was designed to bring a world of privileges closer to our clients — from private branch lounges and international airport access via Mastercard DragonPass, to bespoke financial solutions and exclusive lifestyle benefits,” said Mr. Lyimo.

This launch builds on the foundation laid by Exim Bank’s Preferred Banking service introduced in 2016, taking it to new heights with a more comprehensive and personalized premium banking experience.

A highlight of the evening was the unveiling of the Exim Bank Mastercard World Card Suite, developed in partnership with Mastercard. The suite includes three premium cards: Mastercard World Debit Card (TZS), Mastercard World Debit Card (USD), and Mastercard World

Credit Card.

These premium cards unlock a world of unparalleled advantages, offering Elite Banking client’s seamless access to unlimited global airport lounges, dedicated concierge and luxury travel services, and comprehensive travel insurance covering everything from accidents to emergency medical evacuation and repatriation.

Furthermore, cardholders benefit from robust global purchase protections and advanced fraud prevention, alongside exclusive rewards tailored for shopping, dining, travel, and entertainment, all powered by cutting-edge contactless payment technology.

Elsie Wachira-Kaguru, Vice President & Country DirectorTanzania, Burundi & Djibouti at Mastercard, said, “Mastercard is pleased to unveil this new range of card offerings with Exim Bank, opening a world of premium and exclusive offerings to cardholders aimed at creating incomparable

experiences. We are proud to further the digitization of Tanzania’s payments ecosystem through meaningful collaborations such as this.”

With a dedicated relationship management team, seamless global connectivity, and a commitment to excellence, Elite Banking represents a new standard in premium banking. Exim Bank is redefining exclusivity as a function of substance - delivering personalized, trusted, and technology-driven experiences that empower clients to achieve their ambitions.
