Tanzania

Tanzania is vast and still holds truly wild country for spectacular safaris. From the beautiful Lake Tanganyika in the West, across the vast plains of Katavi and The Selous to the romantic and exotic coastline of Zanzibar and the spice islands, Tanzania is home to incredible destinations like The Ngorongoro Crater Lodge, Greystoke Camp and Firelight, Chada in Katavi and Sand Rivers in the Selous.

Historical background
Shortly after independence, Tanganyika and Zanzibar merged to form the nation of Tanzania in 1964. One-party rule came to an end in 1995 with the first democratic elections held in the country since the 1970s. Zanzibar's semi-autonomous status and popular opposition have led to two contentious elections since 1995, which the ruling party won despite international observers' claims of voting irregularities.
