Abstract
Tanzania, located in east Africa, is bordered by
Kenya, Uganda, Mozambique and the Indian Ocean
with a total land area of 945,000 sq. km (including
Mafia, Pemba and Zanzibar). The terrain consists of
lowland plains along the coast, a central plateau
(1000-1500 m) and highlands over 2000 m in the
north and south. Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain
in Africa, lies in north-eastern Tanzania with an
altitude of 5895 m. Lakes Tanganyika and Victoria
lie partially within Tanzania, along the western and
northern borders respectively.
