I LOVE TANZANIA -THE LAND OF KILIMANJARAO AND ZANZIBAR

The Chagga are believed to have arrived between 250 and 400 years ago from the north-east, following local upheaval in that area. Logically, therefore, the eastern side of the mountain would have been the first to have been settled. Upon their arrival these new immigrants would have found that the mountain was already inhabited. An aboriginal people known as the Wakonyingo, who were possibly pygmies, were already living here, as indeed were the Wangassa, a tribe similar to the Masai, and the Umbo of the Usambara mountains. All of these groups were either driven out or absorbed by the Chagga.

Tanzania Tourist Attractions


Located in East Africa and embraced by the Great Rift Valley escarpment, Tanzania isundoubtably a land of many contrasts. From endless savannah plains teeming with wildlife toprestine sandy beaches, majestic mountains and fertile valleys to endless stretches of desert, there are few countries to rival Tanzania’s scenic splendour.

Tthe largest country in East Africa at almost a million square kilometers, Tanzania has about 25 percent of its land area allocated to natural parks and game reserves. It’s coastline stretches for 1,424km with hundreds of islands, tiny bays, peninsulas and exposed capes including theZanzibar Archipelago. Most of the coastline is untouched and completely ignored by the tourist trail.
The most famed Tanzania tourist attraction is the great Serengeti plain, where you can witness the annual wildebeest migration in June. Nearby is the majestic Mount Kilimanjaro, the tallest free standing mountain in the world  at 19,340 ft.. Also in Tanzania's northern safari circuit areLake Manyara National Park, Africa's Eden in the Great Rift Valley, Tarangire National Park and the amazing Ngorongoro Crater, the world’s largest unbroken, unflooded volcanic caldera.

The unspoiled, untouched southern  safari circuit with the Selous Game ReserveRuaha,Mikumi and Udzungwa Mountains National Parks, offers a secluded yet intimate safari experience. The untamed south is a wonderful alternative to nature enthusiasts seeking bird watching, walking and boating safari and fly camping adventures.

Another Tanzania attraction is the western safari circuit, where you can track chimpanzees in the deep Gombe Stream and rainforests of the Mahale MountainsKatavi National Park has the greatest density of large mammal withe herds of elephants, hippos, zebra, wildebeest, gazelle and lions.

After an African safari on the mainland, you can negotiate the narrow streets of historicalStone Town then walk the white sands of tropical beaches or dive the azure waters in the legendary ‘Spice Islands’ of ZanzibarPemba and Mafia Islands.
