Tanzania

Welcome to Tanzania

Capital of Tanzania: Dodoma
Population of Tanzania: 59.7 million - 5th in Africa
Size of Tanzania: 945,203 km2 - 13th in Africa
Languages in Tanzania: Swahili (Kiswahili), English. Arabic and many other local languages are spoken

Though the size and scale of Tanzania may be overwhelming, the people make it a personable and easy-going place to visit. The bigger cities not only offer good connections to the main natural attractions, but also feature bustling markets where locals sell fresh produce, snacks, and crafts. Smaller villages retain their long-held customs, beliefs, and artistic traditions. With the continent's highest peak, and some of the most animal-rich safaris available, Tanzania holidays tend to dart between the big and bold, and the personal and low-key.
