Tanzania

Built around the 1964 union of Tanganyika and Zanzibar, Tanzania grew into one of East Africa’s largest countries. Its territory extends from the Indian Ocean and the Zanzibar archipelago to the Serengeti plains, Lake Victoria and the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest mountain. Wildlife migrations in the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area have made northern Tanzania internationally known, while Zanzibar’s Swahili heritage is concentrated in Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Dar es Salaam is the principal port and commercial centre, while Dodoma serves as the capital.
