Tanzania is a large country in East Africa. It has an area of 945,203 square kilometres and a population of nearly 44
million. Most people think the capital is Dar es Salaam in the east of the country but that is wrong. The capital is
Dodoma.
The weather in Tanzania is hot all year round. The coolest months are usually June to October and the hottest December
to March. Tanzania has the highest mountain in Africa – Mount Kilimanjaro – and it also has 804 kilometres of
beautiful white beaches. It produces coffee, tea and cotton.
Many people think Tanzania is the most beautiful country in Africa. Most tourists go there because it is famous for its
wild animals, for example lions, elephants, cheetahs, hippos, buffalo and wildebeest. They can see these animals in the
Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater in the north of the country and the Selous Game Reserve in the
south-east.
