- A traveler on visiting Tanzania
Tanzania is an East African nation of extraordinary natural wonders, home to Mount Kilimanjaro, the Serengeti plains, and the Zanzibar archipelago. The Ngorongoro Crater, Olduvai Gorge (where some of humanity's oldest fossils were found), and Lake Manyara offer unforgettable experiences. The spice island of Zanzibar, with its historic Stone Town and turquoise waters, adds a perfect coastal complement to Tanzania's legendary safari offerings.
