Tanzania is an East African country on the coast of the Indian Ocean. Formed by the union of Tanganyika and Zanzibar, it gained independence in 1964 after periods of German and British rule. The country is home to around 55 million people across more than 120 ethnic groups, with a mix of Islam, Christianity, and traditional beliefs.
Its landscape is dominated by high plains, vast savannas, and iconic national parks filled with wildlife and ancient baobab trees. Tanzania is also home to Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak, and is often called the cradle of humanity due to important archaeological discoveries.
This rich cultural diversity drew Lucia from Orava, who has been volunteering at a local school for the past year. She was captivated by the country’s authenticity and natural way of life.
