Reiseführer Tansania und Sansibar

Tanzania is the land of Kilimanjaro, the Maasai, the Serengeti, and the paradise island of Zanzibar. From the snow-capped "Roof of Africa" to the tropical Uluguru Mountains, from Lake Victoria to the Indian Ocean, the Trescher travel guide expertly navigates this beautifully adventurous part of East Africa. Tropical rainforests, evergreen mountain ranges, and endless savannas provide habitats for a breathtakingly diverse array of wildlife and plant life.

Whether in Serengeti, Kilimanjaro, or Arusha National Park, a photo safari to see the "Big Five" is one of the highlights of any trip to Africa. The Great Migration, when millions of wildebeests, zebras, gazelles, and antelopes migrate from the Serengeti to Kenya each year, is a unique natural spectacle. The gigantic Ngorongoro Crater, now a UNESCO World Heritage site, fascinates with the highest density of wildlife in the world. The Olduvai Gorge, where traces of early humans were found, is a cradle of humanity.

The ancient dances and ceremonies of the Maasai warrior and pastoralist people have made them legendary. The Hadzabe still roam the bush as hunters and gatherers—while skyscrapers rise in the bustling metropolis of Dar es Salaam. Cities like Tanga, with over 40 mosques, Kigoma, with buildings from the German colonial era, or the UNESCO World Heritage site Stone Town in Zanzibar, featuring an Arab fort, sultan's palace, and Anglican cathedral, testify to the cultural diversity of the country.

The author of the travel guide, Francisca Chengula, was born in Tanzania.
