Tourists come from around the world to see the wildebeest migration in Serengeti National Parl. The people call it the “Great Migration.” This is because of the thousands of wildebeests that leave their home in the Serengeti National Park to migrate toward the Maasai Mara in Kenya to take advantage of seasonal waterholes. They move towards Ololossitso (lion’s hole), where they find lots of water and grasses during dry seasons. The wildebeest come here to drink, eat grass and graze on them until they are full enough to return home or find another area with more waterholes. The migration happens every year from May to July.

2. Diverse Culture
Tanzania is a country with many cultures. These cultures are represented by the ethnic groups that inhabit the land. For instance, the Maasai are a group of people living in the northern part of Tanzania and are pastoralists. They practice cattle-herding and use their cattle as their primary source of income. The Maasai language is also unique because it has no written form or alphabet, although most of its words are translated into English or Swahili. Visit the Maasai Cultural Village in Arusha, and you will see how the Maasai live their lives.

3. Sandy Beaches
Zanzibar is the largest island in the Indian Ocean and lies off the coast of Tanzania and Mozambique. It has about 1.7 million people, with most living in the island capital, Stone Town. Coral reef dunes and beaches mostly form the island. The west coast is sandy, while the east coast is rocky. During low tide, it becomes possible to walk across rocks to reach the other side of Zanzibar Island, but during high tide, it is not possible to do so without getting wet feet or getting stuck on rocks. The white sand beaches and seawater are ideal for swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, and scuba diving.

4. The Great Rift Valley
The Great Rift Valley is a long, deep, and long valley that goes from the coast of Lake Victoria to the shore of Lake Tanganyika. It is part of the East African Rift System, the longest continental rift globally. It is one of Tanzania’s most important natural resources because it contains gold, copper, uranium, mica, and other minerals. The Rift Valley also serves as a mountain range formed due to movement in tectonic plates. The scenic beauty of the Rift Valley has made it a global tourist destination.

5. Historical Sites
Archaeologists have discovered stone tools, pottery, and other artifacts in the region that date back to the Stone Age, about 2.5 million years ago. The stone tools and pottery were found in Olduvai Gorge. These artifacts prove that humans inhabited this part of Tanzania for a long time. Volcanic eruptions formed the lake, and the area was once covered by water, making it an excellent place for people to settle down. Archaeologists have also discovered other artifacts in Sumbawanga and Songea, including beads, stone tools, and polished stones with markings that are believed to be used by early people to track animals or count days or years.

6. The Northern Highlands
The Northern Highlands are located in the north of Tanzania, along the border with Kenya. The highlands are covered by grassland and savannahs, one of Tanzania's most important natural resources. These areas are rich in wildlife, including elephants, lions, and leopards. It is also home to many bird species, including the white-backed vulture, the black-necked crane, and the African fish eagle.
