Tanzania

'step out into its vast plain,u will suddenly feel very very small---as u should.they have the largest animal population in the world.despite the rowdy neighbours and weak economy,Tanzania offer the best wildlife spotting opportunities on the continent.its famous park make the pedestrain town worth a stopover.'
swahili and english are official languages. it's said that in island zanzibar,they speak the pure swahili,which attracts quite a few travellers there to learn.the two main religion groups: Christian and islam,with a significant hindu minority in urban areas.but it's said that there's no religious discrimination in political or civil administration.
not like other African countries,Tanzania doesn't have rich natural resources.but they export music and dance,which domains the East Africa.
the pre-20th century didn't have much to say.it wasn't untill the 18th century the Arab traders dared to explore the wild interior.As the 20th century loomed,the German coloniers came and build railways,roads...
Nationalist organizations grap independent in 1962,but unity and a charismatic president didn't overcome the country's lack of natural resources.his secret paranoia is radical socialism, a brave concept considering the communist paranoia of potential aid donors such as US.under the leader's chinese-back reform,the economy was nationalized.the better-off had to pay heavy tax in order to redistribute wealth.the early 1960s saw Tanzania,kenya and Uganda linked in an unlikely threesome.currencies could be freely conveted and moved across the border.but predictable political differences brought such cosiness to a halt in 1977,leaving Tanzania worse off than ever.many factors have distributed to the woes of modern Tanzania,the incorporation of Zanzibar created some additional problems.Zanzibar and neighbouring island experience occasional social unrest and political scare-mongers.meanwhile,the mainland had to deal with the refuguee flood from Rwanda. in late 1996,the president issued an anouncement back by UN declaring those refuguees going back home. but many of them stayed.
nothing distinguish happened...it's relatively safe and peaceful.
