Tanzania

 

Africa lives in the hearts and minds of all travellers or tourists looking for adventure and health challenge in places with unsurpassed scenery,challenging mountains to conquer,and a cultural that's different from their own.Many of the most enduring African images are in East Africa.

In East Africa, we have all the attractions that come to mind whenever you think "Vacation".

We have Mt Kilimanjaro, Mt Kenya. In Uganda:  The Rwenzori, Elgon and many many more.  We have the Serengeti, Ngorongoro crater, the Maasai Mara, Lake Manyara, Tarangire, Selous game reserve (size of Denmark), Ruaha, Zanzibar Island and many more that I cannot easily mention.

Tanzania is still the image to have in mind since many of it's natural beauty is unspoiled, some undiscovered.
We proudly wish you a great trip and a wonderful stay in Tanzania on deciding to make it your next holiday resort.


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.
