Geography
Explore the geographic features that help explain Tanzania.
Kilimanjaro near the equator
Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest mountain, rises in northeastern Tanzania. Even near the equator, temperature falls with elevation, and environments change from cultivated lower slopes through forest to alpine terrain. The mountain clearly shows why latitude alone cannot explain climate.
[1]The Rift Valley and three great lakes
Rift Valley landforms shape northern and western Tanzania, which touches Lakes Victoria, Tanganyika and Malawi. Deep Lake Tanganyika occupies a rift basin. These shared lakes support fishing, transport and water supplies and require cooperation across borders.
[1]From the Indian Ocean coast to the plateau
Warm low plains border the Indian Ocean, with islands including Zanzibar offshore. Inland, the land rises to plateau, savanna and woodland. Coastal moisture, elevation and alternating wet and dry seasons shape farming and wildlife habitats.
