| Places of Interest in Tanzania |  Mount Meru
Africa's fifth highest mountain, standing at a little under 15,000 feet offers attractions of its game-filled lower slopes, chattering forests of tropical birds and monkeys, an impressive crater and, throughout, views of those eminent snows across the Steppe.
Ol Donyo Lengai
The holy Masai 'Mountain Of God', is also a picture-perfect volcano located in a remote nook of the Rift Valley. The only active Soda Carbonatite volcano in the world, still far from sleeping. And standing on the crater rim of Ol Donyo Lengai, watching the sun rise over the Rift Valley, is to be a witness to the primeval fires of the first dawn of creation.
Lake Victoria
This huge inland sea sits at the very heart of the continent, its 'discovery' lastly solving the age-old enigma of the Source Of The Nile, whose waters rise from its Northern shores. There are numerous small islands around the coast where you can get a great opportunities for fishing as well as the wildlife enclave of Rubondo Island National Park.
Lake Tanganyika
Lake Tanganyika and its people have witnessed the arrival and departure of trading caravans that carried ivory and slaves to the Coast as it is at the intersection of the great trading routes, along which came the explorers, including Livingstone who was to meet Stanley on Tanganyika, and ultimately to die there.
Rift Valley Lakes
Some of the most impressive flamingo populations in the world settle at the alkali lakes that stud the Rift Valley, their pink swathes layered above the soda-tinged water in some of the most unwelcoming environments on Earth.
