Tanzania The Land of Kilimanjaro and Zanzibar:

Basking south of the Equator over an area half the size of Western Europe, Tanzania is a country of boundless fascination and diversity. From the vast lakes of the interior to the blue waters of the Indian Ocean,

and from the northern mountains to the southern Ruvuma River the country is a mosaic of tropical forest savannah grassland and shimmering lakes containing some of the largest and most beautiful wilderness areas in the world.

The interior of Tanzania form part of the vast highland extending from South Africa to Ethiopia (High Africa) which is split by one of the world's most remarkable geographical features: the great Rift Valley. Tanzania in fact has 19,982square miles of inland water - more than any other African country. Lake Tanganyika which runs along western border, is Africa's deepest and longest fresh water lake, and the second deepest in the world. In the north west, the fresh water Lake Victoria the second largest in the world, lies in a huge shallow depression. Three great rivers, the Nile, Congo and Zambezi are fed by the Tanzanian watersheds.

It is through this varied setting that the last of the great herds of wild animals roam; and there I (Anicet Philip) was born some 32 years ago in one of its Village south of Kilimanjaro region buffering the "Nyika" known as Msitu wa Tembo (Elephant's forest) this is between Kiteto (now Simanjiro) district and Hai district; It is one of untouched Nyika; the area extend far west in to Tarangire National Park.

Living in area like this I started falling in love with nature by the time I was 5 year old!; I learned different types of medicinal plants and their uses, Birds, all by local names. We used many plants like Solanum inconum (Sodom apple) Terminalia species  (cluster-leaf trees)  is also used in many ways.

After such an early introduction to the Nature Profession it was inevitable that I would pursue a career in tourism. My dream came true in 1997 by the help of Ugandan couple Mr.&Mrs. Nyabongo who paid for me to join the college of Tourism. After my Education I  joined Conservation Corporation Africa-Company  http://www.ccafrica.com based in Ngorongoro crater whereby I gained a great deal of knowledge in wildlife through self study and short training courses conducted by the company. Whilst working with Conservation Corporation Africa, I had a dream to be one of the best Safari guide and Ambassador to this wonderful  nature country of Tanzania!;

The outstanding knowledge of the tourism sector and a vast experience as a Safari guide  with the already established contacts have ultimately encouraged me to establish and operate my own Tour Company in Tanzania.
