Population – 39,384,223 (2.091% growth rate – est as of 2007)

Language – Swahili (Kiswahili)

I have found in my years in Europe that the vast majority of people when they hear the words Simba, Serengeti or even Kilimanjaro they quickly attribute them to Kenya. This has somewhat changed in the recent years but there are still people who don’t know much about Tanzania.

Swahili is the national language of Tanzania and is very much true to say that it is indeed the Tanzanian language that lent itself to the surrounding countries i.e Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi and Zaire (Rep Of Congo).

Here are 4 facts about Tanzania:

Swahili: National language of the people of Tanzania

Simba: Literal meaning is Lion, the king of the jungle is predominantly found in and around Tanzania’s Serengeti Nature Reserve Park

Serengeti: Designate a place of natural beauty and the Nature Reserve Park of Tanzania.

Kilimanjaro: The tallest mountain in Africa situated between the towns of Arusha and Moshi.

These are the four major things that I have found that most people dont know about Tanzania and like I said the vast majority would attribute them to Kenya – I felt I had to put the record straight!
