Welcome to Tanzania Bleu: Your Guide to Exploring Tanzania and Zanzibar

A Passion for Tanzania & Zanzibar

Welcome to Tanzania Bleu, a travel blog created to help adventurers, dreamers, and explorers discover the magic of Tanzania and Zanzibar.
I’m a French traveller deeply passionate about East Africa, and here I share insider tips, cultural insights, and must-see destinations so you can plan an unforgettable trip.

Tanzania is a land of breathtaking contrasts — from the wild plains of the Serengeti to the turquoise waters of Zanzibar. Whether you’re after a thrilling safari, a relaxing beach escape, or a deep dive into Swahili culture, you’ll find guidance here to make it happen.

Why I Started Tanzania Bleu

My connection to Tanzania began with a single trip, but the warmth of the people and the richness of the culture brought me back again and again.
From Dar es Salaam to Arusha, Stone Town to Paje, I’ve travelled widely, learning the rhythms of life here and collecting stories, lessons, and tips I now share with you.

This blog is for travellers who want reliable, on-the-ground information, who want to avoid overpriced tourist traps, and who are looking to experience the real Tanzania.
