Geography |
Tanzania covers 937,062sq making it the largest Country
in East Africa. Just south of the equator, it borders Kenya and Uganda in the
North, Zaire, Rwanda and Burundi on the west, and Zambia, Mozambique and Malawi in
the south, making it a splendid center from which to explore Eastern, Central and
Southern Africa. Through the interior runs the great Rift Valley--a vast fault-line
down the spine of Africa that, in Tanzania, has created many fascinating geological
features such as the Ngorongoro crater and Lake Tanganyika. The central plateau
(1,200m above sea level) is a huge expanse of savannah and sparse woodland.
To the north, the 5,890-metre (19,340ft) Mount Kilimanjaro rises. Not only
is it the highest in Africa, but it is also the highest free standing mountain in
the world. While the interior of Tanzania is still largely arid, the 800 kilometer coast line is lush and palm-fringed as are the Islands of Zanzibar, Pemba and Mafia. |
Climate |
The coastal areas are hot and humid with an average day
time temperature of 300C. Sea breezes make the climate very pleasant from June
to September. The Central plateau experiences warm days and cool nights.
The hilly country between the coast and the northern Highlands has a pleasant climate
from January to Septmber, with the temperature averaging around 20oC.
Temperatures vary around Kilimanjaro according to the season registering a low 15oc
during May - August rising to 22oc from December to March. For the whole country the hottest months are October to February. The main long rainy season is from mid- March to late May. |
Population |
East Africa has a population of around 80million. Tanzania is around 30million. |
