Here are some helpful facts behind Tanzania. The Selous Game Reserve is the largest protected wildlife area in Africa with over 21 000 square miles and perhaps more than 50 000 elephant. The hunting season starts on the 1st of July and ends at the end of December. This is a malaria area. Yellow fever shots are required prior to your departure from home by most countries.

Entry VISAS are required and can be obtained upon arrival in Dar Es Salaam. However it is recommended to get one before hand. West of the Serengeti one reaches the shores of Lake Victoria, the largest Lake on the Continent and one of the primary headwater reservoirs of the Nile.

In the Northeast of Tanzania is Mount Kilimanjaro (19340 feet) the highest point in Africa. Northeast from the Selous is Dar Es Salaam, the largest city in Tanzania. The climate in Tanzania varies quite a bit, considering that its environment includes both the highest and the lowest points on the continent.
