Beautiful sun filled days
Perched on the edge of the African
continent, and facing the Indian Ocean, Tanzania's weather and climate
leaves nothing out from your imagination. Warm and sunny days are
followed by cool and balmy nights, and whether you're on safari on the
Serengeti plains or enjoying the tropical beaches of Zanzibar, the
temperatures are always welcoming and gentle.
But sun-filled and beautiful days are not
all that Tanzania has to offer. Within the country's bordersare a vast
number of people and tribes whose varied cultures and traditions make
up the rich tapestry that is Tanzanian culture.
A land of geographical extremes on the
continent, Tanzania is home to Africa's highest peak - Mount
Kilimanjaro, the lowest point - the lakebed of Lake Tanganyika,the
second deepest fresh water lake in the world. In addition, Tanzania is
home to the largest lake in Africa - Lake Victoria as well as the
stunning beauty of the Great Rift Valley!
Tanzania's history is one of treasured
heritage and pride for its people; from the earliest days man has
called this land home with archaeological sites like Olduvai Gorge
attesting to this. Not forgetting the ancient seafaring traders and
explorers who stopped over along the shores for trading and
replenishment.
Tanzania is located in East Africa between
longitude, 29 degrees and 41 degrees east and latitude 1 degree and 12
degrees south. Tanzania borders Kenya to the north, Rwanda, Burundi,
and the Democratic Republic of Congo to the west, and Zambia, Malawi
and Mozambique to the south, and is the largest country in East Africa
(943,000 sq km), comprising both the mainland and the Zanzibar
Archipelago.
