Kenya and Tanzania
are two major tourist destinations in East Africa known for its wildlife,
Beaches and birding etc.
With highlights
like Kilimanjaro, the Serengeti, the Ngorongoro Crater and Zanzibar,
Tanzania is definitely a country to be recognised both in terms of wildlife
and beauty. For many, it's the ultimate safari destination, and with
national parks and game reserves covering some 33,660 sq km (13,000 sq
miles) or 28% of the country, Tanzania has more land devoted to wildlife
than anywhere else in the world.
The Serengeti National Park is a plain-dwellers' stronghold of 14,763 sq km
(5,678 sq miles), claimed to be one of the best places to watch game in
Africa. The Selous Game Reserve is larger than Switzerland and covers
one-sixth of Tanzania's land surface.
Tanzania's most famous attraction, Mount Kilimanjaro, at 5,895m (19,341ft),
is Africa's highest mountain and the only free-standing mountain in the
world that can simply be walked up. Zanzibar
is known for its historical Stone Town and magnificent beaches. |
