Tanzania

Tanzania
Capitol: Dodoma
Currency: Tanzanian Shilling

Tanzania is home to the Serengeti and the Norongoro Crater. The crater has the biggest salt plane and home to plenty of animals.
If you visit at the right time you can see the annual migration that cross the river into the Masai Mara in Kenya. The Masai culture is small compared to the world, but big in eastern Africa. Boy's at the age of 14 are circumcised, if one flinches it is lethal to his well being in society. They must then hunt down a lion and kill it. Many young boy's don't survive this ritual.
Off the coast of Tanzania lies and island, Zanzibar.
Zanzibar wants it own govenment but has challenges with Tanzania. Upon arrival you even get a passsport stamp. Separate flag, but the currency remains the same.
