Travel Safaris - The Many Facets of Tanzania

Tanzania is a country that is an experience; it is a place of
wonder and excitement. I think it is unparalleled in Africa for
game; it has the world's last great migration; over a million
animals thundering across the vast plains of the Serengeti.;
This amazing spectacle made all the more thrilling with the many
predators that follow the wildebeest as they migrate in an never
ending cycle. The migrating animals are continually moving
following the rains which provide the green grass on which the
wildebeest rely for their survival.

The Ngorongoro Crater is unique, many claims are made about
destinations being unique when what is meant is unusual -
however - Ngorongoro Crater is on its own and is truly unique.
This collapsed crater contains many different habitats in a
small area; and has year round water. This results in many
animals living permanently in the crater.

Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa and almost
everyone knows of this majestic mountain. The Selous Game
Reserve is one of the last places to see the wild dog. A new
species of monkey was recently found in the south west of
Tanzania and a previously unknown African violet has been
discovered in the Udzungwa Mountains.

Gombe Park over on the western lakes is one of the few refuges
remaining in Africa for the chimpanzee. Tanzania also has
National Parks that have been created for the protection of
mountain rain forest and all the plants that are endemic to
these areas. There is a high plateau in the south that has
become a National Park to protect orchids. There are also Marine
Parks set up to protect the coast line, the corals and marine
life.

I feel that just the few facts above are enough to prove that
this destination is worth making Tanzania the place to visit. We
have only skimmed the surface. In concluding I would like to add
one last facet to this precious country; its people are friendly
and love visitors. The people of Tanzania love peace and are
united like no other people I know. This is a thing that not
many African countries can boast!
