Holidays in Matema

City life driving you bonkers? Pretty sure a change of scenery and a bit of greenery would get you sorted? Then whisk yourself away to Matema and veg out among the gorgeous beaches, forests, lakes and salt lakes of Tanzania.

It's located 650 kilometres to the southwest of the capital of Tanzania, Dar es Salaam.

The nearby localities of Tukuyu and Karonga are worth your time. They're located 50 kilometres northwest and 50 kilometres south away, respectively. Jump in the car and find out what's going on!

If you think it's time to release your inner adventurer, gear up for some rock climbing. That said, there aren't many better ways to explore the landscapes of this region than with a little mountain climbing.

If you're feeling a little on edge, take the chance to be at one with nature and go bird watching. If that's not your style, wildlife watching might be more relaxing.

Why spend precious time planning your day's schedule when all the hard work can be done for you? Guided nature walks, wildlife spotting tours and wildlife safaris help take the stress out of sightseeing.

Want to have some fun off solid ground? Tanzania is a fantastic area to try out some swimming and snorkeling. They're must-do activities, even for landlubbers!

It's impossible to say just what you'll see behind the doors of the region's craft workshops, but you can be confident it's going to be interesting!

Pack your sunglasses and get some fresh air at one of the surrounding area's pleasant outdoor attractions. Its open-air markets are just waiting to be explored.

Satisfy the history nerd within by going to the local area's ruins, traditional villages and archeological sites. They're superb places to discover some secrets about the region's past.

'There is no love sincerer than the love of food,' George Bernard Shaw once said, but add travel to the mix and it's a marriage made in heaven. You're invited to merge your two greatest loves by eating and drinking your way around Tanzania.

Are you a fan of ugali (maize porridge)? How about fish? Whether you're crazy about them or not, they are two ingredients you'll often find in the cooking here.

There's always a local meal or two that you need to cross of the list, and during your stay in Matema, ugali (cornmeal) is certainly one of them. Vitumbua (rice cakes) is another iconic dish that you'll want to keep an eye out for.

It won't take much to persuade you to try kashata ( made from coconut and ground nuts), a treat that'll make you want to pack up your bags and settle down here forever.

For lovers of a good pint, look for a cosy bar and ask for tusker beer. Enjoy it with a side of joke-cracking and socialising with the locals.

Plan to be here around the 26th of April? You're in luck. On this date, the whole nation joins together for Union Day.

It's not easy to part with a region as rich and beautiful as Tanzania, but it will always be there awaiting your return.

From Matema, it's around 55 kilometres south to Karonga Airport (KGJ). This is the closest airport. Remember to allow yourself enough time to make your way there so you don't miss check-in.
