Tanzania is rich in tradition and culture with perhaps its greatest asset being its fantastically friendly and welcoming people. Its name originates from the unification of Tanganyika and Zanzibar in 1964, a melding of colourful and vibrant cultures. It is the home of Africa’s highest mountain, (Mt Kilimanjaro), and largest lake (Lake Victoria) and is scattered with tropical forests and abundant wildlife best known in the Serengeti Plain and Ngorongoro crater now famous as the astounding backdrops to countless wildlife documentaries. 1000km of coastline along the warm Indian Ocean provides a paradise of white sandy beaches. The exotic spice islands of Zanzibar and Pemba make an appealing destination for romantic tropical beach relaxation, diving and snorkelling. Whatever you are looking for, Tanzania has it all!

Tanzania’s first language is Swahili with English a close second particularly in the business sector. Other European languages including French, Germany, Italian and Spanish are becoming popular within the tourist industry and some secondary schools are starting to offer these languages as optional subjects. There is however a rich cultural diversity and more than 100 indigenous tribal languages are spoken in the country. People in Tanzania are free to follow any religion. Along with Christianity and Islam, the Hindu, Sikh and Buddhist faiths are practiced both on the mainland and particularly on the Islands of Zanzibar and Pemba. Indigenous beliefs are also held by many people and usually draw on relationships with their ancestral sprits.
