About Tanzania
Tanzania, the largest country in East Africa, is focused on wildlife
conservation and sustainable tourism, with approximately 28% of the land
protected by the Government, the largest percentage of any country in the
world. It boasts 16 National Parks and 31 game reserves, 50 Game Controlled
Areas, one special Conservation Area (the Ngorongoro) and three Marine Parks.
It is home to the tallest mountain in Africa, the legendary Mt. Kilimanjaro;
The Serengeti, home to the "Great Animal Migration" that was named
the New 7th Wonder of the World by USA Today and ABC TV's Good Morning America;
the world acclaimed Ngorongoro Crater, often referred to as the "Eden of
Africa" and the “8th Wonder of the World”; Olduvai Gorge, the cradle of
mankind: the Selous, the world’s largest
game reserve; Ruaha, now the second largest National Park in Africa; the spice
islands of Zanzibar; and seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Most important for
visitors, the Tanzanian people, with a rich history and diverse blend of
cultures, are warm and friendly. Tanzania, an oasis of peace and stability with
a democratically elected and stable government, celebrated its 50th Anniversary
of Independence in 2011.
