o princípio e o fim

Few areas of the continent captivate the imagination as does Tanzania. From Mt. Kilimanjaro's snow-capped summit to the Serengeti's wildlife-filled expanses, the country embodies what is for many quintessential Africa. It’s a melting pot of traditions, a crossroads of cultures and a supremely diverse and satisfying destination to explore. Moss-covered ruins of ancient Swahili city-states overlook fine white-sand beaches; cool, forested hillsides rise dramatically from the plains; and 100-plus ethnic groups amicably rub shoulders.

Water:
Unless your intestines are well accustomed to Tanzania, don’t drink tap water that wasn’t been boiled, filtered or chemically disinfected (such as with iodine tablets). Also avoid drinking from streams, rivers and lakes unless you've purified the water first. The same goes for drinking from pumps and wells - some do bring pure water to the surface, but the presence of animals can still contaminate supplies.
