Tanzania

Mountains, savannahs, rivers, and reefs—Tanzania’s landscapes shift dramatically from one breathtaking extreme to another. From the deep waters of Lake Tanganyika to the towering heights of Mount Kilimanjaro, this land is teeming with wildlife at every turn.

More than 120 languages echo across a land as diverse as its people. On volcanic slopes, Maasai manyatta huts stand in clusters, while Hadza hunter-gatherers scale baobab trees to harvest honey in the Lake Eyasi basin. Along the white-sand shores, Swahili sailors mend wooden dhows on islands whose very names evoke the rich spice trade of their ancestors. In this ever-changing landscape, no scene, sound, or spectacle is ever quite the same.
