Thilo Thielke offers exciting reports and historical excursions to a country with a tumultuous past. In Tanzania, both German colonizers and brutal slave traders left their mark. However, with its natural resources and stunning landscapes, Tanzania holds many treasures. It is a subject of diverse interests and today the most popular travel destination in East Africa. Tanzania boasts vast gold and natural gas reserves, and is home to Mount Kilimanjaro, the Serengeti, and the Ngorongoro Crater. The country has access to all three major African lakes: Lake Tanganyika, Lake Malawi, and Lake Victoria. Additionally, it features an endless coastline along the Indian Ocean, with the important port city of Dar es Salaam. Thus, Tanzania has excellent conditions for a success story. Nevertheless, rampant corruption and a socialist past with state-run enterprises hinder progress.
