tanzania
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.
