Tanzania, located on the coast of East Africa, is
home to Mt. Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa. Wildebeests, monkeys,
antelopes, lions, cheetahs, crocodiles and flamingoes are just a few of the
exotic animals visitors discover in Tanzania's Serengeti and Mt. Kilimanjaro
wildlife parks. Grains, fruits and vegetables are popular staples in Tanzania.
When a meat is served, chicken, goat or lamb is usually prepared. Tanzania
gained its independence from Great Britain in 1961 and united with Zanzibar to
form one country in 1964. Cotton, coffee, tea and spices are the main
agricultural products. The islands of Zanzibar and Pemba produce most of the
world's cloves and clove oil.
Thirty-five percent of Tanzanians are Muslim, 30 percent are Christian and the
remaining 35 percent follows traditional African religions. Swahili and English
are the official languages of Tanzania. Originally developed as a trade language
between the Africans and Arabs, Swahili is a mixture of various Bantu languages,
Arabic and English.
