Big and very beautiful nation of the equatorial western Africa.
It is true that it is a retrograde and in wide part poor country, however the country has a good organization and the populations, also those most lost and less supplemented, always live with dignity.
The territory is very good, with almost the 15% of the surface constitued by protected areas.
In the natural wonderful environments of the parks of the Serengeti, Tarangire, Selous and other there are hundreds of thousands of wild animals; to all the fauna of the African savannahs (lions, elephants, giraffes, cheetahs, leopards, hippopotamus) you must add the show of the million of migrations of zebras and gnu, which form infinite processions in certain periods of the year.
But the wonder of the wonders is placed indoors of a volcanic huge crater: the cone of the Ngorongoro, one of the natural environments most spectacular of the World.
The sea is not only transparent waters and palms, but it is enriched by culture, colours and tastes (above all spice), Tanzania offers very interesting islands: Zanzibar, Pemba and Mafia.
For the lovers of the mountain, Tanzania presents a particular and very easy climbing: the ascent to the perennial snows of the equator, the Kilimangiaro.
