1. GENERAL INFORMATION 

Tanzania has a peaceful history compared with some of its neighbors. During the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in neighboring Rwanda, Tanzania provided safety and shelter for hundreds of thousands of refugees fleeing the violence. This humanitarian response demonstrated the country’s commitment to peace and regional cooperation.

Over 100 different languages are spoken in Tanzania, making it the most linguistically diverse country in East Africa. The country does not have an official language, although the national language is Swahili and is used in parliament, in the lower courts, and as a medium of instruction in primary schools.

Tanzania is home to iconic attractions such as Serengeti National Park, Mount Kilimanjaro, and the tropical island of Zanzibar, the country offers unforgettable experiences for every overlander willing to stay away from the usual very expensive tourist traps. You can enjoy exciting bush camping amoungst wild life, relax on white sandy beaches, and explore vibrant local markets while experiencing the warm hospitality of the Tanzanian people.

Tanzania is exotic, expensive (for tourists) and accessible. The country has  famous parks include Kilimanjaro National Park, home to Africa’s tallest peak, and Serengeti National Park. The Serengeti is known for the annual wildebeest migration and the predators that follow it. The Ngorongoro Crater is famous for its collapsed volcanic caldera, alkaline soda lakes, forests, plains and spectacular highlands backdrop. But for the overlander used to the much lower prices in Southern Africa and cheap food, Tanzania is very very very expensive.

Island of Zanzibar

Just 35 km of the coast from Dar Es Salaam. Like the Swahili Coast and the East side of the island. Unspoiled sandy beaches, warm waters and coral reefs teem with brilliant marine life. Zanzibar archipelago was a centre of trade and a cultural crossroads for many centuries. The Stone Town of Zanzibar, the islands’ main settlement, has been designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, who describes it as “an outstanding material manifestation of cultural fusion and harmonization” between African, Arabic, Indian and European cultures.The island’s economy now depends on Tourism (wst and North Coast) agriculture and fishing. Considerable areas of fertile soil and a favourable climate enable the production of a variety of tropical crops, most importantly cloves and coconuts. Fish is an important part of the diet, and local fisheries employ nearly 70000 people on the island.
