Tanzania-The Most Tourist Attraction Country in the World

Tanzania Owns the Natural beauty of Eden Garden.

Tanzania own The Highest Mountain In Africa

Mount Kilimanjaro stands on featureless part of the East African plateau, on the Tanzanian side of the Kenya border near Moshi, side by side with the smaller Mount Meru.

These mountains are extinct volcanoes, with Kilimanjaro actually being the agglomeration of three distinct volcanoes, Kibo (5896m/ 19,340 ft), Mwenzi (5,149 / 16,896 ft) and Shira (3,962m / 13,000 ft). whose violent creation is geologically associated with the creation of the Great Rift Valley, 100km to the West.

The East African mountains have created a micro-climate around themselves and the rain-shadow created to their Southand East supplies the beautiful and superbly fertile land in which the towns of Moshi and Arusha are situated, full of banana groves and coffee plantations.
Kilimanjaro National Park comprises all of the mountain above the tree line and six forest corridors that stretch through the forest belt.

Tanzania Owns The Serengeti National Park

Serengeti National Park is undoubtedly the best-known wildlife sanctuary in the world, unequalled for its natural beauty and scientific value. With more than two million wildebeest, half a million Thomson's gazelle, and a quarter of a million zebra, it has the greatest concentration of plains game in Africa.
The wildebeest and zebra moreover form the star cast of a unique spectacular - the annual Serengeti migration.

A unique combination of diverse habitats enables it to support more than 30 species of large harbivores and nearly 500 species of birds. Its landscape, originally formed by volcanic activity, has been sculptured by the concerted action of wind, rain and sun.

It now varies from open grass plains in the south, savannah with scattered acacia trees in the centre, hilly, wooded grassland in the north, to extensive woodland and black clay plains to the west.

Small rivers, lakes and swamps are scattered throughout. In the south-east rise the great volcanic massifs and craters of the Ngorongoro Highlands. Each area has its own particular atmosphere and wildlife.

The Serengeti's climate is usually warm and dry. The main rainy season is from March to May, with short rains falling from October to November. The amount of rainfall increases from about 508mm on the plains in the lee of the Ngorongoro Highlands to about 1,200mm on the shores of Lake Victoria.

All is lush and green after the rains, but a gradual drying up follows which restricts plant growth and encourages the animals to migrate in search of permanent waters. With altitudes ranging from 920 to 1,850 metres - higher than most of Europe - mean temperatures vary from 15 degrees to 25 degrees Celsius. It is coldest from June to October, particularly in the evenings.

THABO MBEKI RESIGNS HIS PRESIDENCY



Mbeki resigns after South African power struggle!
South African President Thabo has told the nation he has resigned, having lost a power struggle to a rival tainted by allegations of corruption but poised now to lead the country.In a somber but dignified speech late Sunday focusing on the successes and shortcomings of his nine-year presidency, Mbeki said he had submitted a letter to the speaker of Parliament "to tender my resignation from the high position of President of the Republic of South Africa."

He said he would stand down at a date to be determined by Parliament, which will convene in the coming days to select an interim president to serve until next year's elections.National Assembly speaker Baleka Mbete, who is also chairwoman of the African National Congress, is widely tipped to become the interim head of state, paving the way for Mbeki's nemesis, Jacob Zuma, to take over after the elections.The ANC has a huge majority and is expected to romp to victory in the polls despite its upheavals.

"I am convinced that the incoming administration will better the work done during the past 14-and-half years so that poverty, underdevelopment, unemployment, illiteracy, challenges of health, crime and corruption will cease to define the lives of many of our people," Mbeki said.
Mbeki, 66, lost the final battle in the long struggle against ANC President Zuma, his former deputy, on Saturday. Mbeki was pressured to quit after a judge threw out a corruption case against Zuma earlier this month on a legal technicality and implied that Mbeki's administration had put political pressure on prosecutors.

In his television address, Mbeki said "categorically" that he had never interfered in the work of prosecutors. He said that included "the painful matter" of the Zuma case. Zuma has been under a cloud for the past eight years from allegations relating to a big arms deal.A senior ANC official, Matthews Phosa, said the party had asked the Cabinet to remain on the job.

"We want the Cabinet to stay," Phosa said. "We want stability and we want them to stay ... but we cannot enforce things upon them," he said on South African television.Early indications were that most Cabinet ministers had agreed to stay, including Finance Minister Trevor Manuel, who is important to investor confidence in South Africa.

Phosa also said the party wanted Mbeki to continue as mediator in Zimbabwe, where he recently persuaded President Robert Mugabe to share power with the opposition.Although increasingly isolated at home in recent months, Mbeki persisted in his statesmanship abroad. In his speech he reeled off a list of countries that have benefited from South African mediation and quiet diplomacy: Congo, Burundi, Ivory Coast, Sudan and Zimbabwe.

"These African patriots know as I do that Africa and Africans will not and must not be the wretched of the earth in perpetuity," Mbeki said.Despite the humiliation inflicted on him by the party to which he has belonged for the past 52 years — and despite his own reputation for dealing ruthlessly with opponents — Mbeki was graceful in defeat. He did not fill his speech with recriminations, as some had feared.

He thanked South Africans for letting him serve them — for five years as deputy president and nine years as president.He likened public office to a marathon of long roads, steep hills, loneliness and uncertain rewards at the end and urged South Africans to cherish the freedoms gained by many years of anti-apartheid struggle.
"We should never be despondent if the weather is bad, nor should we turn triumphant because the sun shines," he said.He traced the achievements of his office, including transforming the economy "resulting in the longest period of sustained economic growth in the history of our country," spurring social progress and winning the right to host the 2010 World Cup.
"Despite the economic advances we have made, I would be first to say that ... the fruits of these positive results are still not fully and equally shared among our people, hence abject poverty coexisting side by side with extraordinary opulence."

He said much more needed to be done to combat the "twin challenges of crime and corruption."
Mbeki had been on the losing end of a power-struggle to Zuma for months. He lost his bid for a third term as ANC president to Zuma at the party congress last December and the knives had been out for him ever since.Mbeki fired Zuma as national deputy president in 2005, after Zuma's financial adviser Schabir Shaik was convicted of trying to solicit a bribe to deflect investigations into the arms deal.
Initial charges against Zuma were withdrawn, but the chief prosecutor said last December that he had enough evidence to bring new ones. That was within days of Zuma being elected ANC chief. Judge Chris Nicholson threw out the new charges last week on a technicality and implied they were the result of political interference.

But he made no pronouncement on Zuma's guilt or innocence.Nicholson's verdict gave Mbeki opponents the ammunition they needed.Democratic Alliance leader Helen Zille said even opposition parties were stunned at the suddenness of Mbeki's ouster."The vicious way in which Mbeki was forced out by his enemies has shocked the nation," she said.

Zille said Mbeki leaves a "checkered legacy" because of his refusal to accept the causes and seriousness of the AIDS epidemic, which now kills more than 900 South Africans per day, and his refusal to criticize Mugage."His denialism of HIV/Aids and crime cost thousands of lives; he undermined his own vision of an African renaissance by siding with despots on the continent," Zille said. "He has left South Africa more divided than when he assumed office."

The Hottest and Untouchable Black Celebrity Couples.

Unconditional Love:
Unconditional love separates the individual from his/her behaviors. The individual is loved unconditionally as a "perfect" child of the Higher Power. However, the individual may exhibit behaviors that are unacceptable in a particular situation.


Eric Benet and Halle Barry

Many people have traveled this world with different dreams, purposes and aspirations. Many are masters, teachers, inventors and followers. They were all sent by the creator of the universe to achieve one just course; “global peace and unification.” But this course cannot be achieved without unconditional love, which possesses the magical powers of the Divine for transformation. When the human race embraces love unconditional, then the lost will be found, the naked will be clothed, the hungry will be fed, the bombs will be destroyed and there will be peace and unity which will make us all to speak one language, “LOVE”. Let love abide .
- Philip D. Brown, Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria

Jay Z and Beyonce Knowles

This is not a conditional love or the type of love one may try to use to earn favors or expect validation, rather this is a universal and unconditional love that recognizes the beauty in life every moment. It is of a higher nature. It is a natural expression that does not expect an outcome. It is giving just for the sake of giving. It is in the sharing and giving of love to others that we receive the same that we give. Give love and surely you will experience love itself. Express love to the world around you and the world will reflect back to you the power of love.

Ashanti and Nelly

Each of us desires to understand and realize this experience of love. Just listen to the lyrics of music and you will quickly see how much the notion of love plays a part in our personal journey of life. We seek it in our families, relationships, careers, religions, hobbies, and even at times we look to nature itself. All the while, it is right within us ready to be given out and experienced.
Love is such a powerful force especially when shared.

Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey

"Love is considered the most basic emotion that human awareness can feel; therefore, it is the closest to the source of life. The burst of well-being you feel when you fall in love is due to the fact that you unconsciously open the channels of awareness that allow more Prana [Life Force] to flow."- Deepak Chopra from Ageless Body, Timeless Mind
Jarmen Dupri and Janet Jackson
If we make our goal to live a life of compassion and unconditional love, then the world will indeed become a garden where all kindsof flowers can bloom and grow.- Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, Late Author of On Death and Dying
Ludacris and Gabrielle Union
This magnificent planet is filled with opportunities to experience love, tolerance, peace and joy. When we, as individuals, realize our potential to love unconditionally, we transform ourselves and the planet at the same time. Such is the power we wield every moment of every day. The choice is ours to create a world of joy and happiness, love and goodwill.

Chris Brown and Rihanna

There are so many ways to apply love in our everyday lives. Yet, if we do not take care of ourselves, it is virtually impossible to feel and share love with the world around us. As an act of self-love, we can begin to educate ourselves and learn to take care of our physical bodies as well as keep our thoughts and feelings positive and loving. Nurturing ourselves also teaches us how to nurture life around us.

Usher Raymond and Tamika Foster
The greatest power known to man is that of unconditional love. Through the ages, mystics, sages, singers and poets have all expressed the ballad and call to love. As humans, we have searched endlessly for the experience of love through the outer senses. Great nations have come and gone under the guise of love for their people. Religions have flourished and perished while claiming the true path to love. We, the people of this planet, may have missed the simplicity of unconditional love. . .

50Cent and Ciara
Simply stated, unconditional love is an unlimited way of being. We are without any limit to our thoughts and feelings in life and can create any reality we choose to focus our attention upon. There are infinite imaginative possibilities when we allow the freedom to go beyond our perceived limits. If we can dream it, we can build it.

Sean Combs (P.Diddy) and Cassie

Unconditional love is a term that means to love someone regardless of his or her actions or beliefs. It is a concept comparable to true love, a term which is more frequently used to describe love between lovers. By contrast, unconditional love is frequently used to describe love between family members, comrades in arms and between others in highly committed relationships. It has also been used in a religious context to describe God's love for humankind.

Will Smith and Jada Pinket

Practice constant acts of kindness and you bring kindness upon this planet. Forgiveness is the easiest and most powerful act of kindness you can make. Both for yourself and for others, this activity promotes unity, harmony and oneness that transmutes the old into the new.

Boris Kodjoe and Nicole Parker
Why Everybody Needs It and How to Give It Away?Is unconditional love a part of your daily living? Many relationship experts, marriage counselors, psychologists and therapists agree on one thing.The power of love is held within each of us every moment. This wondrous energy is available merely by our use and conscious recognition. When we choose to love one another we transcend the lower personality perceptions and rise to a higher truth. We recognize our oneness, wholeness and interconnectedness.
