Tanzania facts

The United Republic of Tanzania was created in 1964 from the merger of Tanganyika and Zanzibar. Tanganyika was shaped by German and British colonial periods, whilst Zanzibar was influenced by Indian, Arab and Portuguese traders. Kiswahili or Swahili is the national language, though there are over 120 languages and at least 120 tribes in Tanzania. The capital is Dodoma. The earliest human skull in the world, dating back 2 million years, was discovered in Tanzania by the archaeologist, Dr Leakey.
