Relief, lakes and fauna and flora from Tanzania:

Tanzania is a well developed country and well known in the entire world due to the very organized tourism. The relief is varied starting from plain areas towards the Indian Ocean, but also in the central and north-western parts of the country. The south part is represented by a mountain chain which is going from south to north till the border with Kenya where is Tanzania and Africa’s highest peak, Kilimanjaro volcano with its 5.894 m height.

On the other part of the Great Rift Valley is the Serengeti Plain and further are the shores of the largest African lake, Lake Victoria at the border with Uganda. Other important Tanzanian lakes are Lake Tanganyika in west and Lake Malawi in south. A large part of the territory is covered with luxurious tropical forests and savannas among a good part of them were transformed in protected areas like national parks and reservations to protect the fauna and flora (baobabs, acacias, black rhinos, lions, cheetahs, monkeys, zebras, buffaloes, giraffes).
