THE
NATURAL ATTRACTIONS
Tanzania has some world famous natural attractions. They include Mount
Kilimanjaro, the Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Conservation
Area. Less famous attractions but which are worth a visit are parks in
the western and southern parts of the country, such as the Selous Game
Reserve. However, access to these parks may be difficult, expensive, or
both, and accommodation tends to be limited, if you are not camping.
This
guide brings you the following attractions:
Culture and Traditions
Tanzania has about 126 major different ethnic communities with their vernaculars,
cultures, traditions and customs. National cohesion has been attained
partly through the use of the national language - Kiswahili - and the
interaction of the country's people.
The cultures, traditions and customs manifest themselves in unique tourist
attractions in the form of rich traditional dances, handicraft such as
weaving and pottery and art in the form of paintings and wood carvings
of the Makonde ethnic community of south Tanzania.
Historic
Ruins
Tanzania is full of historical relics. These include the ruins of Zanzibar,
Bagamoyo, Kilwa, and the Stone Age remains of Ismani, and the Olduvai
Gorge (popularly known as the "cradle of mankind") which lies
between the Serengeti and Ngorongoro. The Amboni caves and rock paintings
of Kondoa Irangi in Central Tanzania are other destinations for the curious
and adventurous tourist.
