Tanzania General Overview:
Tanzania can also be said to “cradle” some of the best wildlife areas in Africa. Twenty-five percent of the country’s total landmass has been dedicated to this effort. The complete African safari experience is truly represented in game reserves and national parks such as the Serengeti, the annual setting of the wondrous wildebeest migration; Ngorongoro Crater, the unique, biodiverse amphitheatre; and the wondrous array of birdlife at Lake Manyara.

Not to be forgotten are the ‘Spice Islands’ off Tanzania’s coast. Collectively known as Zanzibar, the better known and more frequently visited islands are Unguja and Pemba. All along the coast one notices the influence of pre-independence visitors including Arab, Portuguese, Indian and British traders, travellers and governments. Today, Tanzania’s own people from 120 tribal groups invite you to experience this land of contrasts –“ Karibu Tanzania”
