Wildlife
Viewing
You will see a great deal of animals year round.
Because the climate tends to be mostly dry through
out the year, animals gather near and around watering
holes and tend to stick together. During the rainy
season, April to mid-May, the animals disperse because
water is easy to find. |

Facts
on Tanzania
Shortly after independence, Tanganyika and Zanzibar
merged to form the nation of Tanzania in 1964. One-party
rule came to an end in 1995 with the first democratic
elections held in the country since the 1970s. With
an estimated population of 37,187,939, Tanzania
continues to be one of the most peaceful nations
in Africa. And it has done so by maintaining good
relations between government officials in high and
lower positions.
Although Kiswahili is the most spoken language
in Tanzania, English is the official primary language
of commerce, administration, and higher education.
Kiswahili is the mother tongue of the Bantu people
living in Zanzibar and nearby coastal Tanzania;
although Kiswahili is Bantu in structure and origin,
its vocabulary draws on a variety of sources,
including Arabic and English, and it has become
the most widely used in central and eastern Africa;
the first language of most people is one of the
local languages. |
