Tanzania’s geological past spans more than 300 million
years. It is here where hominoid fossils dating back 3 million
years were found, offering exciting glimpses into our past.
It is a country blessed with great natural wealth, where
pristine coral reefs bathe in equatorial waters and millions
of hoofed animals drum along its vast plains. It’s
a country of spectacular beauty, whose cool highland plateau
is interrupted by the deep fractures of the Great Rift Valley,
and whose inland lakes shimmer with the reflected shadows
of countless water birds and the rhythms of the seasons.
Tanzania is home to 30 million people of exceptional diversity
encompassing more than 100 different tribal groups, each
with its own language and customs. It is here where Muslims

and by an ingrained sense and spirit of moderation.
