Tanzania is officially called the United Republic of Tanzania and it is located in East Africa. In 1964 two states, Tanganyika and Zanzibar united and become the United Republic of Tanzania. Tanzania is the oldest known inhabited area on earth. It generally has a tropical climate. Its economy is mostly agricultural which provides over half of its monies. Tourism is becoming a very important part of the economy also. Tanzania is rich in natural resources and has gold mines, natural gas, diamonds and iron plus many others.
The money is the Tanzania Shilling. The official language is both Swahili and English. Tanzania has Kenya and Uganda to the North and Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the west and on the east of Tanzania is the Indian Ocean. So if you are planning one of the Tanzania safari tours you could combine a trip to Tanzania with one of the bordering countries in Africa.
When you are thinking about Tanzania safari tours in East Africa you have to consider the time of year that your plan to travel. Like much of Africa, there are the dry months, the wet months when rainfall is the heaviest and those months in between where you might get light rain, no rain or very short periods of rain. You can take Tanzania safari tours in the North American summer months of June, July and August when you might see the wild animals like the various females with babies and the area is greener because of the rainfall in the preceding spring.
