Climate: Tanzania has a tropical climate but has regional variations due to topography. In the highlands, temperatures range between 10 and 20 °C (50 and 68 °F) during cold and hot seasons respectively. Tanzania's equilateral climate the coast is tempered by inland elevations where temperatures are mild. Rains fall primarily from March to May and from October to December, with seasonal variations from north to south. Geography: Tanzania has a varied geography, including deep and large freshwater and salt lakes, many national parks, and Africa's highest point, Mount Kilimanjaro. Most of the country is highland plateau, low-lying coastal plain, or upland plain.
Culture: A total of 128 languages are spoken in Tanzania, most of them from the Bantu family. Swahili and English are the two official languages; however, Swahili is the national language.
Traditional ngoma music remains one of Tanzania's most popular styles. Dancers follow the rhythm of drums, accompanied by choral singing, xylophones, and whistles. They also sang poetry called taraab, which has developed into a style of music and dance common on Zanzibar and along the mainland coast.
Tanzania also has a growing local film industry, referred to as Bongo Cinema, a name it derives from Dar es Salaam's nickname, Bongoland. The family-centered films the industry produces are growing in popularity throughout eastern Africa.
Most estimates say that some 60 percent of Tanzanians are Christian and another 35 percent are Muslim, but precise religion statistics on Tanzania's population are not available because the government does not collect that information.
Urban Tanzanians tend to dress conservatively and in western style clothing. Special outfits are often reserved for days of worship. In villages, some people wear colorful traditional clothing associated with their specific ethnic group. Many wear readily available secondhand clothing from the United States or Europe and imported clothing from China and India.
Important staple foods are rice, bananas, and ugali (a stiff porridge made from maize, millet, sorghum, or cassava). These are typically eaten with a meat stew or a sauce made of green leafy vegetables (cabbage, Swiss chard, spinach), dagaa (a fish-based sauce), beans, or cowpeas. Rice is the staple of much of the coastal area and is often cooked with a variety of spices (including cloves, curry, cinnamon, cumin, and hot peppers), which are mixed directly into the water as the rice cooks.
This is only a geography project. I did not actually go on a fun trip to Tanzania (sadly).
