Tanzania is home to the world’s largest volcanic crater, the Ngorongoro Crater, which has a diameter of about 19 kilometers and a depth of 600 meters. The crater is part of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that also includes the Olduvai Gorge, where some of the oldest human fossils have been found1.

Tanzania is one of the few countries in the world that has a national anthem in two languages: Swahili and English. The anthem, called Mungu Ibariki Afrika (God Bless Africa), was originally composed in 1897 by a South African named Enoch Sontonga. It was later adopted by several African countries, including Tanzania, with different lyrics2.

Tanzania is the only country in the world that produces tanzanite, a rare blue-violet gemstone that is mined in the Merelani Hills near Mount Kilimanjaro. Tanzanite was discovered in 1967 and named after the country by Tiffany & Co., the famous jewelry company. Tanzanite is said to be 1,000 times rarer than diamonds and has a unique ability to change colors depending on the light source3.

The country boasts the Serengeti National Park, the site of the annual Great Migration of millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles across the plains, as well as the Selous Game Reserve, the largest protected area in Africa1.


Tanzania is also a paradise for birdwatchers, with more than 1,100 species of birds, including the endemic Usambara eagle-owl, the Pemba scops owl, and the Udzungwa forest-partridge. The country also hosts the largest colony of pink flamingos in the world, numbering up to 2.5 million, at Lake Natron1.

Matokeo ya darasa la saba 2023 ni matokeo ya mtihani wa kitaifa unaofanywa na Baraza la Mitihani la Taifa (NECTA) kwa wanafunzi wanaomaliza elimu ya msingi nchini Tanzania. Matokeo haya yanaonyesha uwezo wa wanafunzi katika masomo mbalimbali na hutumika kama kigezo cha kuchagua wanafunzi wanaostahili kujiunga na elimu ya sekondari. NECTA bado haijatangaza tarehe rasmi ya kutangaza matokeo ya darasa la saba 2023. Kwa kawaida, NECTA hutangaza matokeo haya mapema mwezi Desemba kila mwaka. Hata hivyo, tarehe halisi inaweza kubadilika kutokana na sababu mbalimbali kama ugumu wa mtihani, idadi ya wanafunzi, na mambo ya kiutawala. Mwaka 2022, NECTA ilitoa matokeo ya darasa la saba 2022 tarehe 1 Desemba 2022. Wanafunzi walipata matokeo yao kwa urahisi mtandaoni baada ya kutangazwa rasmi. Mwaka huu, inatarajiwa kuwa matokeo yatakuwa tayari kati ya tarehe 1 na 10 Desemba. Ili kupata matokeo ya darasa la saba 2023, unaweza kutumia njia mbalimbali kama vile kuangalia mtandaoni, kufuatilia shuleni,
