The United Republic of Tanzania covers an area of 945,087 km² (of which 6.2% is water).
According to World Bank estimates, Tanzania has a population of 59 million.
Climate varies greatly within Tanzania. In the highlands, temperatures range between 10 and 20 °C (50 and 68 °F) during cold and hot seasons respectively. The rest of the country has temperatures rarely falling lower than 20 °C (68 °F). The hottest period extends between November and February (25–31 °C or 77.0–87.8 °F) while the coldest period occurs between May and August (15–20 °C or 59–68 °F). Annual temperature is 20 °C (68.0 °F). The climate is cool in high mountainous regions.
Tanzania has two major rainfall periods: one is uni-modal (October–April) and the other is bi-modal (October–December and March–May). The former is experienced in southern, central, and western parts of the country, and the latter is found in the north from Lake Victoria extending east to the coast. The bi-modal rainfall is caused by the seasonal migration of the Intertropical Convergence Zone.
The shilingi (Swahili; English: shilling; sign : TSh; code : TZS) is the currency of Tanzania.
It is subdivided into 100 senti (cents in English).
1 EUR = 2526 TZS
Tip: to convert Tanzanian shilling into euros, remember that 100 000 TZS = more or less 40 €.

The Tanzanian health authorities do not have any mandatory vaccinations for travelers from Europe. Tourists and business travelers are therefore not required to have any vaccinations. The only constraint imposed on travelers wishing to visit Tanzania concerns yellow fever. Indeed, a yellow fever vaccination certificate is required for travelers coming from a country with a risk of yellow fever transmission, even if the origin is a transit of more than 12 hours in the airport.
Recommended vaccinations: Hepatitis A and B, rabies, meningococcal meningitis, typhoid
