Tanzania Tops Africa With First Declaration Of Seven Natural Wonders
Tanzania tops Africa with first declaration of seven natural wonders
Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa and the highest free-standing mountain in the world at 5,895 metres or 19,341 feet above sea level.
Tanzania, with Mount Kilimanjaro, Ngorongoro Crater, and the Serengeti Migration, is home to three of Africa's seven wonders.
"We are excited that three of Africa's natural wonders are in Tanzania. The entire country is honored to be Home to these icons," said Devota Mdachi, Director of Marketing, at Tanzania Tourist Board, adding: "To have three of Africa's seven and to now be the first African country to declare its seven natural wonders, will definitely place Tanzania on the World Tourist Map." As of now, the big three top Africa's list of the winners' list.
"Reaching the final four was a close race between several wonder candidates. Tanzania is a beautiful country from border to border with an array of encounters with nature that would make any country envious," said Mdachi. "It was a thrill to watch the various Tanzanian wonders compete for the distinction of being one of the seven. The world will now get a taste of Tanzania's natural splendor." The initial wonders were vetted by and voted on by the Declaration Committee and the voting body of conservation experts for Seven Natural Wonders.
A campaign, which started in 2008, was enhanced with collaboration from the Tanzania Tourism Board, Tanzania National Parks and Ngorongoro Conservation Area Authority, who, together, championed voting throughout Tanzania and by leveraging the international voice through visitors to the various national parks and Ngorongoro Crater.
