Tanzania is the land of contrast experience, where you will have a lifetime experience of the warmth of our people, the sheer wonder of our wildlife and the magic of our wilderness. There is no word to express the fulfilment and joy you will experience when you visit Tanzania, located within the African Great Lakes region, some parts of Tanzania are in Southern Africa and it shares a border with Uganda and Kenya to the north, Burundi, Rwanda and Democratic Republic of Congo to the west, Malawi, Zambia and Mozambique to the south and finally by the Indian Ocean to the east.

Tanzania was actually created as a clipped compound of the names of two states, the two states unified to create the country including “Zanzibar and Tanganyika”. The name Zanzibar is derived from the word “zengi” which is the name for the local people (meaning “black”) and the word “barr” which means coast. Tanganyika is derived from “tanga” which is a Swahili word meaning sail and “nyika” means uninhabited plain, “wilderness” which led to the creation of the phrase “sail in the wilderness” and is often times perceived as a reference to Lake Tanganyika.

One of the uniqueness of Tanzania is that the people are not segregated by religion or tribe. Swahili is an Arab word that means “boundary” or “coast” However, the people living on the coast of East Africa and their language is now known as “Swahili”. The Swahili coast encompasses The Mystical Islands of Zanzibar and Tanzania’s mainland coastline which boasts 805 kilometers of palm-fringed pristine beaches. In Tanzania, you will enjoy a rich and unique culture, language and history of the people which is a blend of Arabic, Persian, African and Indian values. You will also get the opportunity to enjoy the country’s music and numerous attractions like the Kilimanjaro safari.

There is no doubt that Tanzania possesses unmatched tourism potential based on the abundance of a variety of attractions, natural wonders, and wildlife.
