Tanzania is the largest and most varied country in East Africa. From the snow capped peaks of Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest mountain, to the vast savannas of the Serengeti, from the Garden of Eden of the Ngorongoro Crater to the historic Spice Island of Zanzibar, there is nowhere else in Africa that offers such a huge variety of landscapes, history, peoples and wildlife.

Almost a quarter of the country is given over to national parks and game reserves and a relatively small human population ensures that the landscape and the wildlife remain much as they have for millions of years.
