Jambo! Habari (Hello! How are you?) Karibu (Welcome) to the website of the Tanzania High Commission to Australia.
In this website you will find continuous information on Tanzania, a country whose political and economic landscape has changed rapidly from the situation in the 1990s’. These changes for the better have attracted widespread interests in Australia and elsewhere.
International interest in Tanzania has grown mainly because of the unique history of peace and stability but also due to the abundant natural resources, the wide unspoiled natural habitat with rich flora and fauna, the palentological and archeological sites containing significant evidence of being the birthplace of mankind, the friendliness of its people and richness of their culture and artistic talents.
Many Australians are attracted by the wilderness experience characteristic of Tanzania Safari to Mount Kilimanjaro, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater National Parks in northern Tanzania and the Selous Game Reserve, Ruaha and Udzungwa Mountain Parks in southern Tanzania. For beach lovers, the Spice Island of Zanzibar, Mafia Island, Saadani National Park etc are among the best resort destinations where sea spots and scuba diving is a good pastime activity. About ten thousand Australians visited Tanzania in 2005.
The many Australian mining companies operating in Tanzania and the ever -increasing number of Australia tourists is evidence of a welcome upsurge of interest in Tanzania. The Australian mining company, Resolute Gold, opened the first gold mine in Tanzania in 1998.
