What are Tanzania's Main Tourist Attractions?

Tanzania is a country of dramatic contrasts, from Africa’s highest point, Kilimanjaro, to the islands of the Zanzibar and Mafia archipelagos and from the game rich plains of the Serengeti, home of the greatest show on earth, to the mountains along Lake Tanganyika, where Africa’s best chimpanzee interactions occur. In short Tanzania has it all and can easily be argued as the greatest safari travel destination in Africa.
