From the heights of Kilimanjaro to the depths of Ngorongoro crater, from the wildlife at Lake Victoria to the plains of the Serengeti, from Zanzibar to The Great Rift Valley, leave Tanzania’s crumbling economy aside and dig through the heat and dust to bask in a superb sunset, the fragrant spices, an Arabian palace and the beautiful heritage of this land. To get under the skin of Tanzania read, the autobiography, ‘Memoirs of an Arabian Princess’ by Emily Said-Ruete, watch the documentary ‘Kilimanjaro--To the Roof of Africa’ by David Breashears, and listen to ‘Music from Tanzania & Zanzibar’.
