Over forty percent of the country is protected in park land or game preserves 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 earth: it contains Africa's second-largest number of bird species (around 1500), the continent's biggest mammal population and three-quarters of East Africa's plant species (over ten thousand). Two of the top 10 Natural Travel Wonders are located in Tanzania - the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater.

When you visit this amazing country you encounter many other cultures as well as experience life from a different perspective. For all its natural diversity, Tanza­nia's best asset is its people: friend­ly, welcoming and unassumingly proud. You will be treated with uncommon warmth and courtesy wherever you go, and genuine friendships are easily made.

While the Masai are perhaps the best known tribe in the country there are about 127 other tribes in Tanzania equally rich with tradi­tions, histories, customs, beliefs and music, much of which survive today despite modern influence.
