Tanzania, that east African nation with the beautiful, exotic name is a new travel destination for many. The nation’s rich cultural heritage and diverse landscape makes for a once in a lifetime adventure to this land of cerulean hued waters, snowed capped mountain peaks and thrilling safaris on the plains of the Serengeti. This nation, roughly twice the size of the state of California is also home to the famous Masai tribe, some of the world’s most strikingly statuesque people.
Climb Mt. Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak often called the roof of Africa at 15,100 feet and enjoy the view of the surrounding plains or travel to the heart of Masai country, also in northern Tanzania to visit Ol Donyo Lengai. This active volcano, measuring close to 10,000 feet in height is located in the Rift Valley. The view from its north from its summit looks over the sweltering yet extraordinary salt flats of Lake Natron where few animals live but the flamingo makes its home.
