Tansania
Tanzania, in East Africa, is a country formed by the union of Tanganyika and Zanzibar. The capital is Dodoma, though Dar es Salaam remains the administrative centre. The country offers remarkably varied landscapes, from the Kilimanjaro massif to the Serengeti plains. The equatorial monsoon climate supports lush vegetation, and mangroves dominate the coastline. The best time to visit is the dry season from June to October, when temperatures are mild and rainfall is rare.
