At long last I'm in Tanzania!
I hope you'll enjoy discovering one of the faces of this amazing country
throught the images of the wonderful people I have met here.
Thank you, Chris, for taking me here with you!

In this gallery I will not lead you on a photo safari.
We'll meet real common people
and we'll share a little of their simple daily life.


The United Republic of Tanzania is located in Eastern Africa between longitude 29o and 41o East, Latitude 1o and 12o South. The United Republic of Tanzania was formed out of the union of two sovereign states namely Tanganyika and Zanzibar. Tanganyika became a sovereign state on 9th December, 1961 and became a Republic the following year. Zanzibar became independent on 10th December, 1963 and the People's Republic of Zanzibar was established after the revolution of 12th January, 1964.
The two sovereign republics formed the United Republic of Tanzania on 26th April, 1964. However, the Government of the United Republic of Tanzania is a unitary republic consisting of the Union Government and the Zanzibar Revolutionary Government.
Tanzania has the largest concentration of wild animals.
It also has pristine sandy beaches and Africa’s highest and snow-capped mountain, Mt. Kilimanjaro.
“I dream of an Africa which is in peace with itself.” ~Nelson Mandela~
