History: The nation of Tanzania was formed in 1964 when shortly after independence, Tanganyika and Zanzibar merged. Tanzania is home to one of the highest free standing mountains on earth, Kilimanjaro. Kilimanjaro is also the highest point in Africa and due to its placement, just 3 degrees south of the equator, is also one of the closest point in the world to the sun. Kilimanjaro is bordered by three of the largest lakes on the continent: Lake Victoria (the world's second-largest freshwater lake) in the north, Lake Tanganyika (the world's second deepest) in the west, and Lake Nyasa in the southwest. Apart from Kilimanjaro, Tanzania's other attractions include Safari tours to the Ngorongoro crater, Mt Meru, Lake Munyara, Tarangire and Arusha National Parks, where wildlife is abundant.
