countries with plenty of tourist attractions. Tanzania is a
home of countless amazing features such as national parks,
games, mountains and historic sites.
One of the main
attractions found in the Northern Eastern part of Tanzania
is the Serengeti National Park. Serengeti, a 60,000 square
kilometer savanna, has more than 2 million herbivores and
thousands of predators.
This national park is famous for
its largest and longest overland biannual migration.
Additionally, the region
contains several national parks, and game reserves.
Ngorongoro Conservation Area where Olduvai Gorge, the place
with some of the oldest hominid fossils is found, is also
located in this area. Besides Ngorongoro Conservation Area,
in the Serengeti area there is also the Ngorongoro Crater,
which is the world’s largest unbroken volcanic caldera.
The Serengeti National park has
gained so great popularity that it has been also recognized
in Hollywood films, such as the Lion King. Mount
Kilimanjaro, the tallest free-standing mountain rise in the
world and the highest peak in Africa, is found in the
Northern East part of Tanzania.

Furthermore,
for a long time Tanzania has been one of the most peaceful
countries with constant political stability. Even though
that there are more than 200 ethnic groups with great
diversity from one group to the next, Tanzania has been
peaceful without any neither civil nor political conflicts
for many years.
These ethnic groups enrich our country with great
diversity with more things to see making life in this
country very interesting. One of these ethnic groups are the
popular Maasai people with their colorful traditional
dressings and jewelry.
