Weddings in Tanzania and Kenya The land of "Dr Livingstone I presume"
Livingstone's second trip to Africa in 1858 began with a quest for the source of the Nile.
Tanzania's National Parks are world renowned and the Serengeti migration is a very popular tourism draw card.
Travel to Tanzania usually commences in Kiliminjaro or Dar es Salaam. Tanzania is known for its natural beauty,
prolific wild life and superb Game Reserves / National Parks. The Ngorogoro Crater is home to up to 25,000
large mammals. The conservation area contains active volcanoes, mountains, archaeological sites, forests, lakes,
dunes and of course the Crater and Gorge. The views at the rim of the Ngorogoro Crater are sensational. In the
Northern part of the conservation area you will find the Mountain of God as named by the Masai.
The Serengeti National Park is a wildlife refuge. This vast area of land supports the greatest remaining concentration
of plains game in Africa. Equal in size to Northern Ireland, the Park contains an estimated three million large animals,
most of which take part in a seasonal migration. In addition to these National Parks,
the Gombe Stream National Park, famous for Dr Jane Goodall's work with the chimpanzees, and many more
fascinating regions and National Parks. Sun and Sandals are the proud representatives of Ngare Sero Mountain Lodge

Just south of Kenya, Tanzania’s almost 365,000 square miles makes it comparable in area to Texas plus Oklahoma.
With the continent’s highest mountain, Kilimanjaro at 19,340 feet, in the northeast, Lake Victoria in the north,
Lake Tanganyika in the west, Lake Malawi in the south and the Indian Ocean on the east coast, the country’s interior
ranges from northern volcanic highlands to semi-desert in the center to highlands in the south – and is perhaps home to
the best game-viewing in Africa. Tanzania has a lot of superlatives: the world’s largest intact caldera is Ngorongoro,
Serengeti is the most famous wildlife park, and the earliest direct evidence of upright walking man, the Laetoli footprints,
were discovered in Tanzania by Dr. Mary Leakey in 1979. Two branches of the Great Rift Valley bisect the country
Tanzania has more than 95,000 square miles of parks and reserves – 15% of the total land area and ranks as one of
the world’s largest in terms of conserved land percentage. The nominal capital is centrally located Dodoma,
but in practice, the country’s hub is centered in Dar Es Salaam, the coastal port city of 1.5 million.
Of the 28 million citizens maybe ¾ are peasant farmers; Tanzania’s agricultural exports include coffee, tea, sisal,
cotton, cashews and cloves. Zanzibar, the Spice Island of centuries’ old international renown off the mainland coast,
merged with Tanganyika (a former German colony then British mandate) in 1964…
merging their two names created “Tanzania.” 120 tribes coexist harmoniously within the country, mostly of
Bantu linguistic origin, with Kiswahili the official language and English a widely spoken second tongue.
Almost 2/3 of the country’s people are Christian, the remaining third Muslim, found mostly along the coast and islands…
a legacy of the Arab presence here since the 10th Century. As one of the world’s poorest countries
Tanzania is slowly recovering from its disastrous experiment in radical socialism after liberation. It is attracting
investment in its rich natural resources, tourism is increasing and services to support this important industry segment
are expanding. With its conservation efforts and extraordinary wildlife populations, tourism will continue to grow in
significance…and justly so, it is truly a remarkable country to visit. Tanzania's National Parks:
Northern Parks The most developed, but unspoilt, Tanzanian tourist route is the Northern circuit which encompasses
many of the parks and reserves in Northern Tanzania. The circuit includes many famous national parks and landmarks:
• Serengeti National Park
• Ngorongoro Conservation Area
• Mount Kilimanjaro Africa's highest mountain.
Other famous parks include:
• Tarangire National Park

Southern Parks In the south of Tanzania lie some of the most untouched game reserves in Africa
• Selous Game Reserve Remote and wild,
The Selous is the largest game reserve in Africa.
The Rufiji River flows through the reserve attracting great herds of Tanzania elephant and allowing the visitor to
experience the reserve by boat. The reserve has the largest number of elephants out of all the reserved wildlife
areas in the country. It also has a wide variety of other animals including lion, wild dog and crocodiles
• Ruaha National Park
Due to its relative inaccessibility Ruaha is Africa as it once was yet with all the comforts that today's traveller expects
. The name derives from the great Ruaha River which flows along its entire border creating spectacular gorges.
The Ruaha protects a wide variety of habitats including evergreen forest and swamp and contains the
largest elephant population of Tanzania. Western Parks In Western Tanzania, on the banks of Lake Tanganyika,
lie two parks that are famous for their wild chimpanzees and the research that goes on into animal behaviour.
• Mahale Mountains National Park
