Famous for the Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Kilimanjaro, Zanzibar and the Masai, Tanzania also has many less well known parks and wilderness areas. New developments in many remote areas are now helping to convert Tanzania into one of Africa's most important safari destinations.
Tanzania is a peaceful country that has emerged gracefully from its experiment with socialism in the 60's and 70's which bankrupted the country. Today, multi party politics and a good standing with donor countries is helping to convert Tanzania's economy and future prospects are looking good. The result of stability and progressive thinking has been a recent surge in tourism related developments with many new lodges emerging and remote areas becoming accessible for the adventurous traveller.
In recognition of the value of tourism, Tanzania has designated 25% of its lands as wildlife protected areas. These take the form of National Parks, Game Reserves, Game Controlled Areas, Forest Reserves and Multi-use Areas such as the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The sheer size of these areas makes control of many of them by the Government nearly impossible. The Tanzanian Government has through their Investment Center, encouraged the involvement of private investors and safari operators in remote areas, whose presence now helps secure much needed revenues while fostering a drive to protect the natural resources upon which they depend to attract tourists. Tanzania is slowly changing into a wildlife haven, funded and maintained by you, the tourist.
Whether you are looking for a customized luxury safari or prefer to stay in any of the high quality permanent camps and lodges now operating in Tanzania, you will need help in choosing your destination. The diverse parks and their remote locations set Tanzania apart from other African safari destination. Add to this, the beauty of palm fringed beaches and excellent diving off the coast and islands and Tanzania becomes a "must-visit" country.
