About Tanzania

Tanzania sprawls across East Africa from the Indian Ocean to the Great Lakes, taking in the Serengeti plains, the Ngorongoro Crater and the snows of Kilimanjaro. Its official capital is Dodoma, set in the dry interior, while coastal Dar es Salaam remains the commercial hub. Offshore lies Zanzibar, the spice archipelago whose Swahili trading heritage shaped the mainland's language and culture.

• ·Tanzania's name blends Tanganyika and Zanzibar, the two states that united to form the country in 1964.
• ·The Anglo-Zanzibar War of 1896, fought off Tanzania's coast, ended in under an hour and is often called the shortest war in history.
• ·Tanzania touches three of Africa's Great Lakes: Victoria, Nyasa and Tanganyika, the longest freshwater lake in the world.
