DEEP SEA
FISHING Some of
the richest sports fishing seas are to be found off he Tanzanain mainland.
Zanzibar, Pemba and Mafia islands were the haunts of Ernest Hemingway
and amongst the record-braking prizes to be caught are kingfish, marlin,
horse mackerel, sailfish and rock cod.
DIVING The waters of the Indian
Ocean, particularly those off the coasts of Zanzibar, Pemba and Mafia Islands,
provide superb opportunities for scuba divers. The coral reefs, teeming
with colourful fish, can be explored on diving expeditions for both beginners
and experts. Encounters with dolphins and turtles add to the wonder of this
underwater world.
GOLF Within the main
centers, such as Dar es Salaaam and Arusha, visitors will find golf courses
close to international hotels.
MOUNTAIN CLIMBING For climbers,
the major draw is the 5,869 metre (19,340 ft.) Mount Kilimanjaro, covered
in greater detail elsewhere in this publication.
However, Mount Meru, another volcanic
peak reaching 4,560 metres, is also a popular climb, partly because of the
lovely flora and fauna which can be observed on the way to he top.
It takes about two days to climb
this, Africa's fifth highest peak.
WATERSPORTS
The coast, the islands and some lakes provide a wide variety of water
sports including sailing, scuba diving, snorkeling, surfboarding and water
skiing.
