Zanzibar- the finest place I have known in all of Africa

Zanzibar-

This is the finest place I have known in all of Africa to rest before my final journey.

An illusive place where nothing is as it seems.

I am mesmerized......

David Livingstone, 1866

We quite agree with the good old Dr.

Tanzania is Unique together with its sister islands of Zanzibar, Pemba and Mafia to mention a few!!

Zanzibar Queen of Sheba Legend-

Once upon a time......

The Sea said to the Queen of Sheba while at high seas, "promise you return again"

She threw her Perl necklace into the Sea & the Sea said "that's not enough"

She then threw two treasure chests into the Sea which sprang open & from these treasures the Magic Islands of Zanzibar were formed...

Tanzania is the only country in the world, which has allocated more then 25% of its total area to wildlife National Parks and protected areas.

Blessed with spectacular scenery, prolific wildlife and a superb coastline, Tanzania has long attracted seekers of an exotic holiday, from across the globe.

Its uniqueness, rich history, cultural heritage, idyllic beaches and wildlife safaris complemented by warm hospitality of the charming people, make for a most memorable experience.

There are 14 National Parks, 33 Game Reserves, 44 Game controlled areas, a conservation area and 2 marine parks.

Tanzania wildlife resources are considered among the finest in the world and they include the greatest game park in the world, the Serengeti National Park (Plains), home to the most storied annual wildlife migration anywhere, the world famous giant, unfenced zoo, the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater, the biggest volcano calderas in Africa, Lake Manyara, and Africa's highest mountain, Mt Kilimanjaro, an amateur climber's delight, in the north, Mikumi, Ruaha National Parks and the world's largest (and best) game reserve, the Selous Game Reserve in the South.

Tanzania has the best places for fishing and water sports in Africa, perhaps the world: hundreds of miles of Indian Ocean coastline and all of Africa's great Lakes, Victoria, Tanganyika, and Nyasa, (no other country touches more then one).

Other attractions include the splendid sandy beaches, North and South of Dar es Salaam, Africa's most exotic and compelling island, the legendary Spice isle of Zanzibar, and excellent deep-sea fishing at Mafia Island and Pemba Island.

Within the Indian Ocean Isles are relics of ancient settlements and historical monuments.

For the visiting tourist, Tanzania also offers a unique culture and crafts notably the Maasai culture and art, Makonde sculptures and carving done in ebony.

Further more, Tanzanians are hospitable people, the most friendliest people on the planet.

Tanzania is probably the best country in the world:-)
