Tanzania's vice president Ali Mohamed Shein revealed plans to expand tourism in the country stating that Tanzania is "internationally renowned for its abundance of wildlife attractions".

The politician says that enticing more travellers to visit the East African nation will help to boost the economy and help to protect the habitat of species living there.

Those on African holidays often choose to visit Tanzania for its wealth of wildlife with safaris offering opportunities to come face-to-face with elephant, giraffes and other wild animals.

For those looking for a more relaxing holiday, a quick trip across to Zanzibar comes highly recommended where travellers can enjoy miles of white sand and crystal clear waters.

Despite its popularity, the tropical archipelago remains relatively unspoiled and the perfect spot for honeymooners or families.

Zanzibar's capital, Zanzibar City, is located on the island of Unguja and its old quarter called Stone Town, is a World Heritage Site.
