Why I Created Tanzania Bleu

My love for Tanzania started with a single trip, but the connection I felt with the land and its people made me return again and again. Traveling through Dar es Salaam, Arusha, Stone Town, Paje, and beyond, I discovered not just the beauty of the landscapes, but the warmth of the people and the richness of the culture.

This blog is for anyone who wants to explore Tanzania with reliable, practical information, avoid tourist traps, and experience the country like a local.
