<p>One of this country's most notable eco stars are threefold, and all located up north. The <strong>Serengeti Plains</strong> are the site of a <a href="https://www.serengeti.com/" target="_blank">national park</a> of nearly 15,000 square kilometers (5,790 sq. miles) harboring many thousands of varied species including antelopes, baboons, Cape buffalo, cheetahs, crocodiles, elephants, hyenas, hippos, jackals, leopards, lions (Africa's largest population), monkeys, ostriches, rhinos, and wildebeest, among many others. It's also the starting point of the spectacle that is the July-to-October Great Wildebeest Migration (mentioned under Kenya, above). Next to the Serengeti, the volcanic, UNESCO World Heritage <strong>Ngorongoro Crater</strong> (the world's largest) is home to varied wildlife including Cape buffalo, flamingos, gazelles, hippos, black rhinos, wildebeests, and zebras. And <strong>Mount Kilimanjaro</strong> is Africa's highest peak (4,877 meters/16,000 feet), but depending on the route, even kids can trek up to its summit (the youngest, in 2018, was just six years old). <br /> <br /> Other cool family-friendly experiences include mountain biking through banana plantations and local farming villages, ending your ride with a traditional Tanzanian lunch. And <a href="https://meseranisnakepark.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Meserani Snake Park</strong></a> west of Arusha is home to a fascinating collection of not just snakes (venemous and otherwise) but other reptiles. <br /> <br /> The beaches are also exceptional (and apart from family friendly, also <a href="https://www.denhumholidays.com/best-5-honey-moon-destinations-in-africa/" target="_blank">a very popular honeymoon destination</a>). There are several on the mainland, such as <strong>Ras Kutani</strong>, <strong>Sange</strong>, <strong>Ushongo</strong>, <strong>Vumawimbi</strong>, and those in <strong>Saadani National Park</strong>. Then of course there is <strong><a href="https://tripatini.com/profiles/blogs/zanzibar-tanzania" target="_blank">Zanzibar</a></strong>, among whose <a href="https://tripatini.com/profiles/blogs/zanzibar-tanzania-beaches" target="_blank">beach stars</a> are <strong>Jambiani</strong>, <strong>Kendwa</strong>, <strong>Paje</strong>, <strong>Pongwe</strong>, and <strong>Ungwi</strong>. Other great local experiences include seeing and feeding giant land tortoises and spice plantations (the "Spice Island" has long been famous for its cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, cardemom, and others), where you can also learn about other use of spices, such as repelling mosquitos and getting rid of toothaches. There's a touch of fascinating history out here, too, in the form of exploring <strong>Stone Town</strong> (the stone referring to coral rock), the medieval core of <strong>Zanzibar City</strong>, full of fascinating markets, narrow streets and alleyways and various palaces, mosques, and fortifications.<br /> </p>

Set to launch in June/July, this will be an online magazine for the Zanzibar archipelago. You can sign up on our holding page <a href="http://www.mambozanzibar.com">www.mambozanzibar.com</a> to be informed when we launch (this is going to migrate to <a href="http://www.mambomagazine.com">www.mambomagazine.com</a> shortly), as well as following us on Facebook and Twitter, or find me on Linkedin: <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/pub/rachel-hamada/10/9b7/82a">http://www.linkedin.com/pub/rachel-hamada/10/9b7/82a</a>. I am attaching a copy of our mission statement so you can see the direction we are coming from.<br/> <br/>Mambo will include in-depth features written by professional journalists; guides to everything from Swahili cuisine to spas, language to diving, roots tourism to Zanzibar for backpackers or luxury seekers, taarab to Zenji Flava; guides to the different destinations on the islands; multimedia; directories and forums.<br/> <br/>We are always happy to have more contributors, so if you are a writer, broadcaster, photographer or video-maker then we are keen to hear from you, and we will also be looking for regular bloggers to write on specialist subjects, and forum experts to advise travellers to Zanzibar.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We are planning to recruit a sales professional, preferably someone with English and Kiswahili, a good understanding of the East African tourism market, Internet savvy and a polite and professional manner, but also driven. We are also looking for interns who want to get experience in the publishing industry, or who have a strong interest in history and research.<br/> <br/>We look forward to promoting the islands internationally while hopefully boosting positive tourism.</p>
