Despite over two decades of reforms, the impact of the failed 'African socialism' policies of the late President Nyerere are still felt in modern Tanzanian society. The country has one of the smallest industrial sectors in Africa and a rather unattractive investment climate, and it remains overwhelmingly donor-dependent. This, however, combined with the presence of several world-leading attractions, makes Tanzania one of the most undervalued tourism destinations on earth. The tourism sector is largely untapped and suffers from terrible branding - but what more needs to be said than Kilimanjaro, Zanzibar and Serengeti all in one country?

In fact, Tanzania is one of the four most naturally diverse nations in the world with the biggest mammal population in the whole of Africa, the continent's second largest number of bird species (over 1,500) and three quarters of the region's plant species (over 10,000). There are no less than 14 national parks as well as various further wildlife reserves and conservation areas.

Cultural diversity is another highlight. With its 120 ethnic groups, a general climate of freedom and peace, and the naturally friendly and welcoming attitude of the locals, Tanzania is one of the culturally richest countries in Africa. Added to this are the findings of some of the earliest hominoid fossils in the Olduvai Gorge dating back some 3 million years, and the intricate histories of the slave trade, exploration and colonization periods.

Tanzania is an educational visitor's dream, with many diverse special interest areas ready to be discovered. The presence of numerous international organizations and a variety of pilot initiatives offer endless opportunities, combined with an amazing travel environment.
