Tanzania
is the land of Kilimanjaro
and thee Spice Islands
of Zanzibar.
Mt.
Kilimanjaro, Africa’s
roof top is the
second tallest mountain
in the world and
world’s tallest
free standing mountain.
Mount Kilimanjaro
climbing is the
most popular climbing
experience after
Everest. Yet the
climb is non-technical
and anyone with
relative good fitness
can reach Kilimanjaro’s
peaks making it
a very popular mountain
to climb. The
spice islands of
Zanzibar, Unguja
and Pemba are famous
as some of the world’s
best beaches. Visitors
enjoy long stretches
of un-spoilt sandy
white beaches from
modern resorts there.
Then
there are the wildlife
havens of Serengeti
(which means the
endless plains),
the Ngorongoro Crater
conservation area,
Selous National
Park which is the
biggest wildlife
sanctuary in East
Africa and the many
other parks dotted
around the country.
The big 5 are to
be found in abundance
here with Serengeti
reputed to have
the highest density
of lions in any
par. Tarangire is
famous for elephants
and tree climbing
pythons while Lake
Manyara is famous
for its tree climbing
lions.
Tanzanian
people are reputed
to be some of the
world’s most hospitable
people. And
although the tourist
industry in Tanzania
is relatively young,
the country has
quickly gained a
lot of experience
as the country’s
popularity has increased
rapidly over the
last couple of decades.
Today,
Tanzania is one
of the most popular
tourist destinations
in the world.
