Tanzania the land of kilimanjaro and zanzibar

UnSURPASSED AFRICA

The Tanzania Tourist Board (TTB) is, in conjunction with Safarimate, pleased to present this Online Travel Guide to Tanzania. We hope the information will help you plan your trip to this country which has a rich and fascinating history dating back to the birth of humanity.

Tanzania is blessed with an impressive array of archeological and historical heritage sites. The Leakeys dedicated their lives to solving the mystery of evolution here, and confirmed East Africa as the craddle of mankind.

This special and up-to-date travel advisory - complete with maps, information on parks and resorts, hotels and tour operators, everything you would ever want or need to know about Tanzania as a tourist destination - offers you an opportunity to explore the country that holds so much fascination for the traveller.

Tanzania, the largest country in East Africa, boasts the continent's highest mountain, the historical Spice Islands of Zanzibar, the world's largest game reserve and probably the most famous national park. The country is a priceless treasury of many animal and bird species; from the colourful to the exotic, the rare to the impressive. Savannah grasslands are fringed by lush tropical forests and mighty rivers, while the Great Rift Valley has produced a number of unusual geographical features, from the exceptionally deep Lake Tanganyika to the unique Ngorongoro crater, and ultimately to the heights of Kilimanjaro.

Every year, awe-struck visitors witness animal behaviour of a type and on a scale not seen anywhere else in the world. Join them and take time out to explore all the fun that Tanzania offers. Discover the hidden trails, the pristine beaches of white sands and waving palms. Wander through the fascinating towns stopping here and there to sample delicious local cuisine. There is always more to do than time can allow.

On the offshore islands, sand, sea and sun are only the beginning of new memories: Let go the humdrum mainland life and pursue world class game fishing. Plunge among spectacular reefs, peruse history (on the unique islands which lie close to Tanzania's mainland, history, legends and unique cultures are all preserved), or just perfect your tan as the spices scented days ease into exotic evenings.

There are few places on earth that can offer the visitor such a glorious feast of attractions, and that can fulfill every holiday dream you ever had.

Tanzania is the land of your holiday dreams.
