Africa generally has been slower to recover economically from the Covid era, but is just as fascinating as ever. ITMB is finding that many of our maps of countries in Africa are approaching the end of their print runs and will see new editions through the rest of 2024 and into 2025. Tanzania is one of the first to be updated and refreshed. Printed on waterproof stone paper, Side 1 concentrates on the southern half of the country, from Dar es Salaam (the actual capital) south to the borders with Mozambique, Malawi, and Zambia. This is game preserve country, with Selous taking pride of place.
Side 2 concentrates on the northern portions, which are more popular. Game preserves such as Serengeti and Ngorongoro compete with Mount Kilimanjaro and Lake Victoria for attention. The islands of Pemba and Zanzibar are easy to reach from Dar. A large portion of Kenya is shown, as well as significant portions of Burundi and Rwanda. Detailed inset maps of Arusha and Stone Town are also included, as are all seven border crossings into Kenya. Tanzania is a very large country geographically, so visitors really need a map to get around.
