WHY TANZANIA?Tanzania is the best place to experience an authentic African experience.

Tanzania represents and contains every part of Africa. It is Africa's land of contrasts. From the

snow-capped peak of Kilimanjaro to the endless plains of Serengeti, from the sun-kisses islands of the

Zanzibar Archipelago to the gentle shores of the Great Lakes, Tanzania contains immense cultural and

natural wealth.

It was here, on the dusty oor of Olduvai Gorge that humankinds earliest relatives walked, leaving their

footprints behind as a mark of humanity's beginning. It was here, on the palm-fringed beaches of

Zanzibar, that Swahili trades welcomed dhows from across the Indian Ocean.

For millennia, Tanzania has played an essential part in the life of the Africa Continent. The great

wildebeest migration alone comprises the largest movement of land animals on the planet. With over

25% of the country's total landmass dedicated to wildlife parks and conservation areas, Tanzania remains

wholeheartedly committed to the preservation of Africa's great wilderness and incredible range of animal

species.

The United Republic of Tanzania is one of Africa's most peaceful countries. Home to a ourishing

democracy and prospering economy, the country is known for its peace and stability. A well-maintained

infrastructure and three international airports connect its bustling commercial centers and ensure easy

transportation, whether by road or by air. Tanzania's people are a diverse mix of traditional people, village

farmers and cosmopolitan professionals united by a common language, Swahili, and a strong sense of

national community.

Tanzania has a wealth of diverse groups that make up its national community .Hunter-gatherer groups

and Maasai herders coexist in the Northern wilderness,

and lesser known communities like the Wadorobo and

the Iraqw also make up the collage of the country.

Cultural tourism has become a popular choice for the

many visitors to Tanzania, with dierent programmes

and itineraries on oer around the country. From

day hikes on the slopes of Mt Meru to honey collecting

in the Usambara, discovering local culture is a highlight

for any visitor to Africa.

EVERY YEAR WE DO: More than 200 leadership opportunities for

Tanzanian youths.

More than 250 international internship

experiences.

More than 15 national and local youth

leadership events.

Our activities have an indirect reach of

35,000 youth in Tanzania.

Tanzania The people, the History...the Paradise...

Ancient Tanzania

The rst human beings in Tanzania lived by hunting animals and gathering plants. Agriculture in Tanzania probably began

about 1,000 BC but the farmers still made wooden and stone tools. However by the 4th century AD Bantu people began to

migrate to Tanzania. They brought iron tools and weapons.

Meanwhile people on the east coast of Africa had contact with the Mediterranean civilizations. The Persians and later the

Romans sailed as far as Tanzania.

Later, by the 8th century, Arab merchants sailed to the area. The Arabs brought Islam and ever since many Tanzanians have

been Muslims. Many Arabs settled along the coast and eventually traders came from as far away as India.

In the 11th century AD the ancestors of the Masai began to migrate to Tanzania from southern Sudan. Most of them arrived

between the 15th century and the 18th century.

The rst European to reach Tanzania was a Portuguese explorer named Vasco Da Gama who arrived in 1498. However

Portuguese rule did not extend inland. At rst the Portuguese were peaceful but not for long. In 1503 a ship commanded by

Rui Lorenco Ravasco came to Unguja Island. The Portuguese captured 20 dhows (Arab sailing ships) and killed about 35

people. The ruler of Zanzibar, the Mwinyi Mkuu was forced to submit. He had to grant the Portuguese access to Zanzibar

and he had to agree to provide Portuguese ships with food and water. He also had to pay tribute to Portugal.

In 1505 the Portuguese captured Mombassa and in 1056 they captured Pemba Island. In 1510 the people of Unguja Island

and Pemba Island rebelled but they were crushed by the Portuguese.

During the 16th century the Portuguese took control of the coast and they built forts. In 1560 they founded Zanzibar town.

The Portuguese also introduced 2 plants from Brazil, cassava and cashew nuts.

However the Portuguese only controlled the coast of Tanzania and in the 17th century they were driven out by Arabs from

Oman. The Arabs captured Unguja in 1652. The last Portuguese were expelled from Pemba in 1695.

Finally the last Portuguese stronghold in Tanzania, Fort Jesus in Mombassa was taken in 1698.

The Arab victory ensured that Tanzania did not become a Portuguese colony like Mozambique. Instead from the end of the

17th century the Arabs were the dominant power in the region.

In the 18th century and 19th century Arab slave traders took huge numbers of slaves from Tanzania and exported them from

Tanzania. The slaves were sold to Arabs or to European colonies in the Indian Ocean.

In 1812 a man named Saleh bin Haramil introduced cloves to Zanzibar. Soon cloves became a major export. The clove

plantations were worked by African slaves.

Colonial Tanzania

In the 19th century Europeans began to explore inland Tanzania. In the 1840s two Germans, Johann Ludwig Krapf and

Johannes Rebmann reached Mount Kilimanjaro. In 1857 tow Britons, Richard Burton and John Speke reached Lake

Tanganyika. In the 1860s missionaries arrived in Tanzania.

Then in 1885 the Germans began taking over the region. The Germans were led by Karl Peters. He formed a company called

the German East Africa Company (Deutsch-Ostafrikanische Gesellschaft). Peters persuaded African chiefs to make treaties

with his company. Legally Peters acted independently of the German government. Nevertheless his government approved his

actions.

Meanwhile the British had taken control of the island of Zanzibar. In 1890 Britain and Germany signed a treaty dividing the

area between them. Britain took Zanzibar and Germany took mainland Tanzania. Then in January 1891 the German

government took direct control of Tanzania.

05.

However from the start the Germans faced resistance in Tanzania. The rst uprising was the Abushiri revolt of 1888. The

people on the coast of Tanzania resented German interference and they rose in revolt led by a man named Abushiri bin Salim al-

Harth. However the Germans eventually crushed the revolt.

From 1891 to 1898 the Germans fought a war with a people called the Hehe. Eventually the Hehe were defeated and their

leader, Mkwawa, killed himself.

In 1905-07 came the Maji Maji rebellion. Africans were forced to work on cotton plantations and eventually southern Tanzania

rose in rebellion. The rebellion was crushed after the Germans adopted a 'scorched earth' policy. At least 100,000 people died

both as a result of the ghting and as a result of starvation.

Between 1909 and 1913 250 tonnes of dinosaur bones were discovered at Tendaguru, north of Lindi. The bones were shipped

to a museum in Berlin.

In 1914 came the First World War. In Tanzania a small German force was led by Colonel Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck. He was a

very able man. When a British force landed at Tanga in November 1914 it was defeated and ed leaving many weapons in

German hands. The British invaded again in 1916 but they were unable to defeat the Germans.

However by 1917 the Germans in Tanzania were running out of food and ammunition so they turned to guerrilla warfare. They

continued to ght until Germany itself surrendered in November 1918.

After the war Tanzania was handed over to the British. It was called Tanganyika. In 1925 Sir Donald Cameron became the rst

governor. In 1926 a legislative council met.

Under British rule Tanzania exported cash crops like cotton. Much was grown on European owned plantations. However some

was also grown by Africans.

Meanwhile the Africans began to organize themselves. In 1929 they formed the African Association in Dar Es Salaam.

Yet in Tanzania the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s were fairly uneventful. However things began to change rapidly in the 1950s.

In 1953 Julius Nyerere was elected president of the Tanganyika African Association. In 1954 it was renamed the Tanzania

African National Union. It campaigned for independence with the slogan Freedom and Unity (Uhuu na Umoja). The National

Union participated in elections for the legislative council in 1958 and 1959. However two-thirds of the seats were reserved for

non-Africans.

In 1960 that restriction was removed and in an election TANU won almost all the seats. The move to independence was now

unstoppable and Tanzania became independent on 9 December 1961 with Nyerere as prime minister. On 9 December 1962

Tanzania became a republic and Nyerere became president.

Ethnic composition

Tanzania is extremely heterogeneous, with more than 120 dierent indigenous African peoples as well as small groups of

Asians and Europeans. As early as 5000 BC, San-type hunting bands inhabited the country. The Sandawe hunters of northern

Tanzania are thought to be their descendants. By 1000 BC, agriculture and pastoral practices were being introduced through

the migration of Cushitic people from Ethiopia. The Iraqw, Mbugu, Gorowa, and Burungi have Cushitic origins. About AD 500,

iron-using Bantu agriculturalists coming from the west and south started displacing or absorbing the San hunters and

gatherers; at roughly the same time, Nilotic pastoralists entered the area from the southern Sudan. Today the majority of

Tanzanians are of Bantu descent; the Sukuma constitute the largest group, and others are the Nyamwezi, Hehe, Nyakyusa,

Makonde, Yao, Haya, Chaga, Gogo, and Ha. Nilotic peoples are represented by the Masai, Arusha, Samburu, and Baraguyu. No

one group has been politically or culturally dominant, although the tribes that were subject to Christian missionary inuence

and Western education during the colonial period (notably the Chaga and Haya) are now disproportionately represented in the

government administration and cash economy.

There are also Asian and European minorities. During the colonial period, Asian immigration was encouraged, and Asians

dominated the up-country produce trade. Coming mostly from Gujurt in India, they form several groups distinguished by

religious belief: the Ism ls, Bohrs, Sikhs, Punjabis, and Goans. Since independence the Asian population has steadily

declined due to emigration. The European population, never large because Tanganyika was not a settler colony, was made up

primarily of English, Germans, and Greeks. In the postindependence period, a proliferation of dierent European, North

American, and Japanese expatriates connected with foreign aid projects have made Tanzania their temporary residence.

Language

Swahili is the national language. Virtually all Tanzanians speak the language, and it is used as the medium of instruction in the

rst seven years of primary education. English, the country's second ocial language (together with Swahili), is the medium

of instruction at further levels of education and is commonly used by the government in ocial business. Most African

Tanzanians speak their traditional tribal language as well. The main languages spoken by the Asian minorities are Gujarati,

Hindi, Punjabi, and Urdu.

06.

07.

Tanzania's weather varies from humid and hot in low lying areas, such as Dar es Salaam, too hot during

the day and cool at night in Arusha. There are no discernible seasons, such as winter and summer --

only the dry and wet seasons. Tanzania has two rainy seasons: The short rains from late-October to late

December, a.k.a. the Mango Rains, and the long rains from March to May.

Many popular resorts and tourist attractions on Zanzibar and Maa Island Marine Park close during the

long rain season, and many trails in the national parks are impassable during this period. For that reason,

in most cases tours are restricted to the main roads in the parks. Travelers should plan their trip

accordingly.

During the dry season, temperatures can easily soar to above 35C in Dar. You should seek shelter from

the sun during the midday heat and use copious amounts of sunblock, SPF 30+.

Some Tourist Destinations

Dar es SalaamOnce the capital city (this function has now moved

to Dodoma), the major port of Dar es Salaam is the

natural starting point for trips in Tanzania. Parts of

Dar es Salaam have a tranquil air that belies

industrial and commercial growth. Further

attractions include the National Museum, housing

the skull of Nutcracker Man; Observation Hill,

which contains the campus and facilities of the

University of Dar es Salaam; and the Village

Museum, with exhibits of traditional housing and

crafts.

ExcursionsThe shing village of Msasani, 8km (5 miles) from

Dar es Salaam, contains tombs dating back to the

17th century. Further south, at Kilwa Klsiwani,

there are ruins of Portuguese and Arab architecture.

Many beautiful beaches are within easy reach of

Dar es Salaam, such as those at Kunduchi, Mbwa

Maji and Mjimwena. Kunduchi, 24km (15 miles)

north of the city, is a shing village with nearby

ruins of Persian tombs and mosques. Mbudya

Island is an uninhabited island forming part of a

protective coral reef which is a good place for

diving, snorkeling and shing. Sinda Island, some

14km (9 miles) o Dar es Salaam, also oers

facilities for snorkeling and shell shing.

Elsewhere

A 72km (45 mile) drive north of Dar es Salaam is

Bagamoyo, a one-time slave port and terminus for the

caravans. This tiny township is the nearest mainland

point to Zanzibar and possesses sandy beaches set in

a beautiful bay. Livingstone's body rested in the tiny

chapel of the convent here on its way back to London.

The town mosque and Arab tombs date from the 18th

and 19th centuries. Some 5km (3 miles) to the south

is the village of Kaole, near which are the ruins of a

mosque and pillars believed to be 800 years old. To

the north of Bagamoyo, near the Kenyan border, is the

country's second port, Tanga. From here, the visitor

can drive to the beautiful Usambara Mountains and

Moshi on the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro.

ZanzibarThe island of Zanzibar, once the metropolis of East Africa,

variously ruled by Shirazi Persians, the Portuguese, the Omani

Arabs and British colonials, is only 20 minutes' ight from

Dar es Salaam (ferries from Dar are also available). Otherwise

known as the 'Spice Island', Zanzibar's golden age was under

the Omani Arabs in the early 19th century. By the middle of

the century, it had become the world's largest producer of

cloves and the largest slave-trading post on the African

eastern coast. Zanzibar's old Stone Town, a UNESCO World

Heritage Site, is a labyrinth of narrow, winding streets lined

with exotic shops, bazaars, colonial mansions, mosques and

squares. The visitor can still see the house where Dr

Livingstone lived, as well as that used by Burton and Speke.

The Anglican Cathedral Church of Christ stands on the site of

the Old Slave Market, o Creek Road, while on the seafront

are the palace of the former sultan and the towering Beit-el-

Ajaib (The House of Wonders).

Some Tourist DestinationsNational Parks

Tanzania's national parks extend over some 33,660 sq km (13,000

sq miles). In addition, there is the unique Ngorongoro Conservation

Area, in which wildlife is protected and where the Masai tribes

people also live and herd their cattle. There are also some 10 game

reserves where government-approved hunting safaris operate

under license and about 40 controlled areas where the hunting of

game is controlled by a quota system.

Zanzibar is a fascinating place with palaces, forts, stone

aqueducts and baths; its history as a cosmopolitan center

of trade gives it a unique atmosphere. The guided Spice

Tours are recommended. Within the vicinity lie many

oshore islands ringed with coral reefs, the most famous

and most visited being Changuu Island (also known as

'Prison Island'). There are also many superb beaches,

particularly on the east coast, although there are now

several package hotels there.

NoteVisitors to Zanzibar should observe Muslim conventions

regarding dress when away from the beach.

MaaSome 40 minutes' ight south of Dar es Salaam, the island

of Maa is renowned for big-game sh as well as being a

unique marine park. Power boats and tackle are available

for hire.

Mount Kilimanjaro

At 5895m (19,341ft), Africa's highest mountain is a major

attraction for mountaineers. Expeditions must be accompanied by a

guide and very warm clothes are required for the last section of the

climb. The ascent takes about three days, allowing for rests at the

three huts and a day or so at the nal hut to acclimatize before

tackling the nal stage to the summit.

Serengeti National ParkThis is a plain-dwellers' stronghold of 14,763 sq km (5678 sq miles)

reaching up to the Kenyan border and claimed to be the nest in

Africa. Here are 35 species of plain-dwelling animals, including

wildebeest, zebra, gazelle, cheetah and lion, which feature in the

spectacular Serengeti migration, and also an extensive selection of

birdlife. Probably the best time to see the migrating herds is from

November to May

13.

Ngorongoro Conservation AreaRising high above the plains of the Serengeti, this vast protected

area stretches from Lake Natron in the northeast (the breeding

ground for east Africa's amingoes) to Lake Enaysi in the south

and Lake Manyara in the east. The area includes the still active

volcano Ol Doinyo Lengai (Mountain of God), whose last major

eruption was in 1983. The park's centerpiece is the Ngorongoro

Crater, a collapsed volcano forming a crater that is 610m (2000

ft) deep, 20km (12.5 miles) in diameter, covering an area of 311

sq km (122 sq miles). The crater accounts for just one-tenth of

the conservation area, which is home to almost every species of

African plains mammal (except for the impala, topi and girae)

and particularly well known for the endangered black rhino. It

also has the densest population of predators in Africa. The rich

birdlife includes amingoes which are attracted by the soda

content in Lake Magadi on the crater oor.

Lake Manyara National ParkFamous for its elephants and tree-climbing lions. The wall of the

Great Rift Valley forms a backdrop to the park, before which lies

forest, open grassland, swamp and the soda lake. Wildlife

includes lions, herds of bualo, baboons, elephant, rhino, impala,

girae, leopard, zebra, bushbuck, reedbuck, waterbuck and blue

and vervet monkeys. Manyara is also noted for its birdlife,

particularly the amingoes.

Arusha National ParkThis park lies within the Ngurdoto Crater, a volcano that has

probably been extinct for a quarter of a million years. Visitors

are able to see bualo, rhino, elephant, girae and warthog.

Mikumi National ParkThis park, 1300 sq km (500 sq miles) in area, oers a chance

to see lion, zebra, hippo, leopard, cheetah, girae, impala,

wildebeest and warthog. A popular spot for visitors is the

Kikaboga Hippo Pool. Although December to March is the

ideal time for viewing at Mikumi, there are animals

throughout the year.

Safety

As in many Countries, caution should always be exercised,

particularly in tourist areas. Never keep all your cash only in

one place and hide valuable things on your body. Violent crime

against foreigners is not uncommon, particularly against those

walking alone at night (which is NOT recommended).

Pickpocketing is also common. Pickpockets work at crowded

markets, like Kariakoo, and bus stations. Don't be fooled by

small children who are often forced into a life of crime by older

kids or parents -- never carry anything of value in your pockets

and don't let expensive camera equipment dangle from your

neck. Don't leave bags unattended or even out of your sight

when on the beach.

In general, avoid isolated areas, especially after dark. Traveling

in large groups is safer. If there are many people or security

guards around (e.g. city center areas) you should be relatively

safe.

The safest way to travel is by taxi with a driver you know,

especially when it's dark out (late night or early morning).

Although it's uncommon, taxi drivers have been known to rob

tourists.

.

In the event of an incident, the police may or may not make a

strong eort to identify the culprits, but obtaining a police

report is necessary if you plan on ling an insurance claim later,

or if important documents are stolen. Make sure the police

report indicates if your papers were stolen; otherwise you may

have diculty leaving the country. You should immediately

contact your local embassy or consulate in the event that your

passport is taken

Time

This is where a little knowledge of Kiswahili can cause some

inconveniences. Tanzanians don't function on the same time as

Westerners. This doesn't mean 'Africa time', which is the notion

that appointments are exible and people can arrive when they

please.

For Tanzanians, it's illogical that the day would start in the

middle of the night. Since sunrise and sunset happen pretty

much at the same time all year round, 6a.m. and 6p.m., the day

starts at 6a.m.which is 0 hours.

So when telling time in Kiswahili, Tanzanians always subtract 6

hours for western time. 11 a.m. is 5a.m to a Tanzanian. To avoid

any confusion, a Tanzanian will tell time in English if they want

to use the western standard and in Kiswahili if they use local

standard.

Preparation for your Trip

Pre-Arrival

We will process work permit for you after you send required

documents to us,it takes around one and a half month to get it,

but you need to apply for tourist visa(50USD) to enter the

country.

For gcdp & For gip

Passport and other documents

Make sure you make a photocopy of your passport, visa, ticket,

credit cards, debit cards, travel insurance and other important

documents you plan to bring with you. Leave one copy with

someone at home, and another copy with your LC. Take a third

copy with you and store it separately and in a safe place. In case

of loss it is much easier to get a duplicate when you have a copy

of the original. The same goes for telephone numbers in case

you lose your credit card.

Insurance and Medical CareIt is strongly recommended that you ensure you are adequately

insured and bring all related insurance papers with you.

Make copies of this also! Leave a copy of the number to call for

claims and your policy number in your wallet and label it as

insurance in case you are brought into the hospital unconscious.

Consult your doctor or travel doctor early on to plan ahead for

getting your vaccinations. Some of them require more than one

injection, while others should not be given at the same time.

Recommended Vaccines

Diphtheria and Tetanus: Both of these diseases occur worldwide

and you should be vaccinated at home. Check to see if you need a

booster.

Hepatitis A and B:

Rabies:

Typhoid:

Measles, mumps, Rubella

Tuberculosis

Yellow fever: If you wish to visit Zanzibar you will be asked to

show your yellow fever Vaccination when entering.

Malaria Prophylaxis: Highly recommended. (Lariam, Malerone,

Doxy-CT etc)

Please do consult the hospital or immigration in your country

Packing

It should contain the following:

-Aspirin/ Paracetamol or other pain relievers

-Insect Repellent
