Among passionate African hunters, Tanzania is well-established as the country best qualified for Safari. Its extraordinary wealth of game and game diversity contribute to this reputation. Masailand and Selous make the heart of African hunters beat twice as fast. Well known big game hunters such as Teddy Roosevelt, Frederik Selous, Ernest Hemingway and Robert Ruark – to name just a few, preceded others for the excitement of this unique exploit. The Serengeti and crater of Ngorongoro are synonymous with the natural treasures of Africa and belong to the heritage of mankind. Once Safari – always Safari!
With an area of 984,000 square kilometers (379,000 sq. miles), about 38% is dedicated to protected areas and this land is among the most famous destinations such as Serengeti, Ngorongoro and the famous Selous Game Reserve. These Reserves are impressive with a rich flora and fauna. The natural language of the country is Kiswahili and English and are widely spoken even in remote areas. There are also many tribal languages. Hunting and tourism are very well-developed here and represent a large portion of the economy.
