A Nation of 120 Nations Tanzania is often celebrated for its wildlife and landscapes, but the country's greatest treasure may be its people. Home to more than 120 distinct ethnic groups, Tanzania is one of the most culturally diverse nations in Africa, a place where ancient traditions and modern life coexist with remarkable harmony. Tanzania has also long been a cultural crossroads.
