Tanzania: A wonderland in Africa

What could be more exciting than travelling to a new place and discovering all that the place has to offer? What could be more fascinating than the breathtaking sceneries, rare wild animals, diversity of culture and more? Blessed with a plethora of stunning islands, Tanzania is known for Mount Kilimanjaro, which is Africa’s highest mountain and also for its famous game reserves. On 29 October 1964, the United Republic of Tanganyika and Zanzibar was renamed the United Republic of Tanzania. Tanzania is gaining popularity in the tourism sector worldwide. More and more tourists are getting attracted to this amazing country largely due to the fact that it is one of the most peaceful countries in Africa. This makes tourism safe for every tourist from outside the country and even from within the nation. Moreover, Tanzania is the home of the tallest mountain in Africa, its national pride — Mount Kilimanjaro.
The beautiful tall mountain, whose cap is surprisingly covered in snow is a magnificent sight. For the lovers of mountain climbing it presents a great challenge as this is 5840m high. With the help of experienced and courageous tour guides, who will lead you through the safe paths, even amateurs can fulfill their long term dream of seeing the famous Uhuru torch at the top of the mountain.
Among the other tourist attractions one cannot forget to mention the incredible Ngorongoro Crater which is found in the town of Arusha. The crater is the host to many different animal and plant species as well as a rare sight because it is filled with water which is only seen if one climbs at the very peak of the crater or flies over it in a jet.
