Features Tanzania Travel Guide

Tanzania [36] is the largest country in East Africa, bordered by Kenya and Uganda to the north; Rwanda, Burundi, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the west, and Zambia, Malawi, and Mozambique to the south.HistoryThis is probably one of the oldest known continuously inhabited areas on Earth; fossil remains of humans and pre-human hominids have been found dating back over two million years.
Tanzania is believed to have been populated by hunter-gatherer communities, probably Cushitic and Khoisan speaking people.
About 2000 years ago, it is believed that Bantu-speaking people began to arrive from western Africa in a series of migrations.
Later, Nilotic pastoralists arrived, and continued to immigrate into the area through to the 18th century.
