Ideas & Places for Celebrating Easter In Tanzania

The Easter holiday, during the Holy week, begins on Holy Thursday, followed by Good Friday, Easter Sunday, and Easter Monday. Since easter is a national holiday, many businesses are closed on these days and everyone enjoys Easter vacation.

For those looking for ways to enjoy Easter 2021, you’ve come to the right place, whether you want a budget family holiday or simply some fun ideas for how to celebrate at home.

WAYS TO CELEBRATE:

• Light candles. • Dress up in special Easter outfits to go to church for prayer and worship. • Decorate your home with beautiful lilies. • Gather some small gifts (see below for ideas) and surprise your kids with Easter baskets. • Cook a special meal for your loved ones. Lamb is a common Easter holiday food as are hot cross buns. • Hold or participate in an Easter egg hunt or an egg-painting competition. • Have a bonfire on the evening before

Easter as they do in Europe.

GIFT IDEAS FOR KIDS:

Easter is a wonderful time to give gifts to the kids in wrapped Easter baskets. For young girls, pretty earrings or bracelets or coloured egg-shaped accent lights can be good gift options. If your son or daughter is a connoisseur of crafts, you can present him or her with a window painting kit. The kit should contain easy-to-clean brushes and easy-to-remove paint. A set of clays that could be baked in the oven can also keep the creative child totally engrossed for hours in making a beautiful pot for Easter flowers. A set of spiralling musical airplanes to hang over the crib can be a wonderful Easter gift for babies. For toddlers, jigsaw puzzles, blocks, bubbles, and stuffed animals are all great Easter gift ideas. P.S. – Hide the kids’ baskets and have them search for them for an extra-fun surprise!

GIFT IDEAS FOR ADULTS:

You may want to celebrate Easter by giving gifts to your spouse, fiancé, boyfriend or girlfriend, friends, co-workers, or neighbours. Chocolates and baked goods are very popular, as are varieties of tea, coffee, and wine. Some people may appreciate flowers, a new book, jewellery, clothing, accessories such as a scarf or handbag. You can also give away tickets to an upcoming show, concert or special event. Even adults may enjoy searching for baskets on Easter!

Tanzania’s year-round temperate climate and wide range of hotels and resorts means you don’t have to go far to enjoy some time in the sun. This is particularly good news for families, making an Easter holiday much more affordable. Here are some hotels and restaurants for those looking to get away over the break.
