THE AMAZING LAND OF TANZANIA

Tanzania is proud to be the exclusive home of:

1. THE KILIMANJARO: This is a snow-capped mountain, just south of the Equator. At 5895 meters above sea level, the Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa and the tallest free standing in the world.
2. THE SERENGETI: The Serengeti is a national park with millions of wild life living together. It is indeed a garden of nature. The nature of this national park provoked a remark from the famous Prof. Grzimek that "Serengeti shall never die".
3. THE NGORONGORO CRATER: This is a World Heritage Site within the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The Crater is the home of several species of wildlife. The famous Prof. Grzimek once observed that it was not possible to give a "fair description of the crater for, there is nothing with which to compare it". He concluded that the crater is one of the world wonders.
4. THE OLDUVAI GORGE: This is a place where remains of the earliest human, the Nutcracker (Zinjathropus Boisei) were found by the Leakeys.
5. THE SEALDUS GAME RESERVE: This game reserve is the largest in Africa and one of the largest in the world.
