  • Tanzania is probably best known for Mount Kilimanjaro . It is the highest mountain in Africa. Almost every type of ecological system can be found here. If you’re a hiker, it is definitely worth climbing.
  • The world’s largest mammal migration takes place in Tanzania Serengeti National Park is the oldest park in Tanzania and is another highly visited tourist destination. All of the big five can be found here (lion, buffalo, elephant, leopard and rhino). In July and August, you can catch a glimpse of the great wildebeest migration. This is when millions of wildebeest, zebras and antelopes cross the plains of Serengeti to search for fresh grass. Meanwhile, hungry crocodiles and predators wait in the river. Yikes!

Internet Internet

Ideal when both people are online in the same app. Breaks down for landlines, banks, insurers, customer service, and anyone without reliable data.

WhatsAppSkypeTelegramViberFaceTimeGoogle Meet
  • Great quality when both sides have the app + internet
  • Receiver must have the same app and be online
  • Cannot reliably reach landlines / service desks

Free feels free — until the person you need isn’t on that network.

Telecom Telecom

Traditional mobile / carrier calling. Works to any number, but international rates often price people out. Not durable for frequent cross-border calls.

Traditional mobile / carrierRoaming & international add-ons
  • Reaches any mobile or landline on the phone network
  • International / roaming can be very expensive
  • Contracts, SIM swaps, and bill shock are common

Works everywhere on paper — until the monthly bill arrives.
