Roughly 120 tribes inhabit Tanzania, each ...
speaking its own language.

To the west of these peaks is Serengeti
National Park, which has the greatest concentration of migratory
game animals in the world (200,000 zebra, for example).
As for
the wildlife – well, Tanzania is a singularly compelling safari
destination. In the south, you have the Selous, the world’s largest game
reserve. In the north, the sweeping plains of the Serengeti are
justifiably the most famous park in Africa, while nearby Ngorongoro
Crater is perhaps the most scenically dramatic

Within the Serengeti is Olduvai Gorge, the site of the famous discoveries by the Leakeys of fossil fragments of the very earliest ancestors of Homo sapiens. The Serengeti also contains the marvelous Eden of Ngorongoro, a 20-mile-wide volcanic crater that is home to an extraordinary concentration and diversity of wildlife.

The remote west,
meanwhile, is home to what Africa’s top chimpanzee tracking sites,
namely Gombe Stream and Mahale Mountains. And while the eastern coastal
belt is somewhat lacking in big game, compensation comes in the form of
the forested Eastern Arc Mountains, home to dazzling diversity of birds,
monkeys, chameleons and flowering plants found nowhere else in the
world.

Tanzania is also Africa’s
third-largest gold producer after South Africa and Ghana, and the only
known source of the gem Tanzanite. Tourism generates almost a billion
USD in annual foreign revenue, a tenfold increase since 1990.
