Tanzania is a developing East African Nation noted for both its history of stability and its astounding natural beauty. A robust tourist industry provides all levels of tourist amenities, although higher-end facilities are concentrated mainly in the cities and selected game parks.
The United Republic of Tanzania was formed in 1964 with the union of the mainland country of Tanganyika and the Zanzibar archipelago, which comprises the islands of Unguja and Pemba. Located in eastern Africa, Tanzania has plains along the coast leading toward a central plateau with highlands in the north and the majestic Mt. Kilimanjaro to the south.
Tanzania also boasts one of the largest wildest animal populations in the world teeming with wildebeest, monkeys, lion, cheetah, hippos, crocodile and brilliantly pink flamingoes. In fact, each year Blue Wildebeest and other bovids participate in a large scale migration across the Serengeti plain.
Tanzania has developed a Biodiversity Action Plan to address species conservation.
