Wildlife, beaches, islands, ruins, Mt Kilimanjaro (the highest point of Africa), friendly people, fascinating cultures – in Tanzania you will find all these. Tanzania has the largest concentration of wildlife animals per square kilometer, with more than 4 million wild animals and representatives of 430 species and subspecies.

I received this postcard from a friendly person Roland. Roland lives in Cologne but due to his job, he is working very often overseas, even for a longer period. At the moment of writing there was winter in Tanzania, but not a winter like in Europe. 28-32 degrees, sometimes a little bit of rain.

This wonderful postcard shows the so-called "Big Five". Leopard, lion, buffalo, elephant and rhino are among the most deadly mammals in Africa. The term was invented by big game hunters because each animal was so difficult to catch.

Thanks a lot for the postcard, Roland!
