Tanzania


Tanzania is located on the east coast of Africa. The name is the main reason I chose to highlight this country, it caught my eye right away. Tanzania is one of the poorest countries in the world. This country has few exportable items unlike other parts of Africa. Many other countries have minerals and agricultural systems, but these are not abundant in Tanzania. Tourism is an important part for the country, Africa's highest mountain, Kilimanjaro, is located in Tanzania and there are wildlife-rich national parts, including Serengeti. With tourism being a big part for Tanzania experts are fearing that planned highways could threaten the Serengeti game park.
