Background on Tanzania

Background

Tanzania is an East African powerhouse known for its political stability and breathtaking natural wonders. It was formed by the 1964 union of mainland Tanganyika and the Zanzibar Archipelago. The country’s geography is dominated by the Great Rift Valley and includes both the highest point in Africa (Mount Kilimanjaro) and its lowest (the floor of Lake Tanganyika). The capital is Dodoma, while the coastal city of Dar es Salaam remains the commercial heart of the country.

The economy is broad-based, with agriculture (coffee, tea, and cashews) employing the majority of the population. Tanzania is also a significant miner of gold and the only place in the world where the precious gemstone Tanzanite is found. The government has invested heavily in infrastructure and tourism, seeking to balance economic growth with the protection of its massive network of national parks and game reserves.

Tourism in Tanzania is world-class. The Serengeti National Park is the stage for the Great Migration, while the Ngorongoro Crater provides a "natural enclosure" where wildlife can be seen in incredible density. For adventurers, climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is a bucket-list challenge. To end a trip, most travelers head to the "Spice Island" of Zanzibar, where they can explore the winding alleys of Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and relax on some of the finest white-sand beaches in the Indian Ocean.
