About Tanzania-United Republic
Tanzania, a country in East Africa, is known for its peaceful atmosphere and ongoing development efforts after overcoming past regime challenges.
Most of the population is engaged in agriculture, livestock farming, and tourism. With over a hundred different tribes coexisting, many Tanzanians are of Indian, Pakistani, Arab, or African descent.
Tanzania shares its borders with Kenya and Uganda to the north, Rwanda, Burundi, and the Democratic Republic of Congo to the west, and Zambia, Malawi, and Mozambique to the south. To the east lies the magnificent Indian Ocean. The country experiences significant temperature fluctuations between day and night due to the tropical climate.
Despite being in Africa, Tanzania receives rainfall for eight months, resulting in moderate temperatures. While the capital city, Dodoma, may have a somber atmosphere due to its administrative buildings, climbing the Lion Rocks is ideal for adventure enthusiasts.
Visitors exploring the country's largest national park, Serengeti, can witness endangered wildlife. Safaris through forests and deserts are also highly popular. Marangu, home to Africa's tallest mountain, Kilimanjaro, and the enchanting city of Rukwa, with its waterfalls and lakes, are among the most popular destinations in Tanzania.
For sports enthusiasts, the Kiliman Adventure Race, held annually in February, is a breathtaking event where participants climb the high peaks of Mount Kilimanjaro, embark on a cycling tour around the mountain, and conclude with a marathon run.
To draw attention to the challenging living conditions in the country, the Zanzibar Film Festival exclusively screens films on this topic, showcasing works by filmmakers from Tanzania and around the world. In May, music lovers unite at the Mzalendo Halisi Music Festival in Dar es Salaam to witness local artists' performances.
The Dar es Salaam Fish Market offers seafood, and restaurants nearby provide a unique dining experience with fish species you won't find elsewhere. Don't miss out on trying "mtori," a dish combining bananas and beef, and the unique "chapati" bread, along with tropical fruits featured on breakfast tables throughout the country.
