Tanzania is a land of contrasts and majesty, there is the snow-capped summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, the sun kissed beaches of Zanzibar, the vast herds of game grazing on the Serengeti plains and the slow volcanic eruption of Ol Donyo Lengai. Almost everywhere you go, you will find interesting wildlife and inspiring landscapes ranging from forest covered volcanic peaks to dusty savanna populated by elephants, antelopes, lions, leopards and cheetahs. Tanzania is one of the four most naturally diverse nations on the earth, it contains Africa's second largest number of bird species, the continents biggest mammal population and three quarters of Africa's plant species. Tanzania also boasts of rich ethnic diversity, some superb hiking and other activities like snorkeling and diving.
