Tanzania is the largest of the countries in East Africa, 3 times the size of the United Kingdom with 3/4 of the UK population. A third of the country's area is devoted to conservation of nature.

This shows the importance Tanzania places on tourism and wildlife conservation. With over 120 indigenous tribes, Tanzania has an incredibly rich cultural as well as natural heritage. With such massive land areas to cover, Aim 4 Africa has divided the sections covering Tanzania into four main areas:

Northern Tanzania - by far the most famous landmarks and wildlife spectacles in the world are concentrated in this area - Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, Kilimanjaro and Olduvai Gorge to name a few. The region is also famous for it massive coffee, maize and banana plantations with its rich and fertile volcanic soils providing the country's biggest bread basket. It is also in Northern Tanzania that one of the world's most precious gemstones is mined - TANZANITE, at the Mererani hills between Kilimanjaro and Arusha.

Southern Tanzania -  this region is home to the largest wildlife reserve and national parks on the continent - Selous and Ruaha, home to over 150,000 elephant, over 40,000 hippo and a great number of Big Cats, gazelle and bird species.It is also one of the most beautiful and rugged landscapes with the Udzungwa mountain range and the Rufiji and Great Ruaha Rivers providing permanent water sources to the game parks and villages. For ease of navigation,Aim 4 Africa has also included the eastern areas in this part, including East Africa's onlyh coastal national park - Saadani, a small but unique park where bush meets beach.

Western Tanzania - a truly unspoilt part of Tanzania, this region is home to Africa's deepest lake, Lake Tanganyika and the Mahale mountain range where different primate species are found, including habituated groups of chimpanzees made famous by Jane Goodall and her research team back in the 1970s. Mahale, Gombe and Katavi national parks are truly exclusive areas ideal for the safari connoiseur seeking a rugged experience with diverse landscapes and wildlife species. The third largest national park in Tanzania, Katavi has great numbers of wildlife such as topi and buffalo as well as the endangered wild dog (or African hunting dog).

The Swahili Coast and Zanzibar - bordering the Indian Ocean, Tanzania's historical past has brought settlers from all over the world particularly from Arabia, India, Portugal, Germany and England. The Swahili Coast has remnants of the country's infamous past steeped in the history of slave trade, however there are also beautiful parts some of which remain unspoilt such as the white (in some parts golden) sandy beaches, beautiful coral reefs, protected areas offering refuge to numerous endemic species such as red colobus monkey, green turtle and even the ancient coelecanth....

Tanzania is therefore the country that most discerning visitors will want to visit if not once, then at least two or three times in their lifetime. Having the biggest, best, most diverse and  enviable landscapes and cultural heritage makes those who have visited the country yearn to return for more.
