UNESCO - Kilimanjaro National Park, Tanzania

Like last time with Tanzania, I have arranged a 'blind' swap and received something amazing :) At 5895 m, Kilimanjaro is the highest point in Africa. This volcanic massif stands in splendid isolation above the surrounding plains, with its snowy peak looming over the savannah. The mountain is encircled by mountain forest. Numerous mammals, many of them endangered species, live in the park. An estimated 220 endangered African elephants are distributed between the Namwai and Tarakia rivers.

The elephants in the photo are possibly not those mentioned because they roam the valley, it is nevertheless a great depiction of what we imagine Africa to be.

Maasai With Donkeys, Tanzania

Wow...I have arranged a swap for a postcard from Tanzania, but for some reason I didn't expect a view THIS great - Yue made an extra effort to find donkeys for me! Whats more, in the background is Ngorongoro crater which is situated in Ngorongoro Conservation Area, an Unesco site! But because I am yet uncertain of the area's borders I am not sure whether to include it in my Unesco collection...any thoughts?

In any case I love this and am sending Yue a thousand thanks :)))
Not to mention the stamps...awesome

UNESCO - Stone Town of Zanzibar, Tanzania

 Zanzibar was once a separate state; in 1964 it united with Tanganyika to form Tanzania. and is now its semi-autonomous part. Its main industry is spices trade.

I love this unification of both postcard and stamp having the same motive of a dhow, traditional arab sailing vessel :) Sent on the19th of August, 2008.

The Stone Town of Zanzibar is a fine example of the Swahili coastal trading towns of East Africa. It is located on the western coast of Unguja, the main island of the Zanzibar Archipelago. It is a former capital of the Zanzibar Sultanate, and was a flourishing centre of the spice trade as well as the slave trade in the 19th century.

The most well-known feature of Zanzibari houses are the finely decorated wooden doors, with rich carvings and bas-reliefs, sometimes with big brass studs of Indian tradition. Those of Indian style have rounded tops, while those in the Omani Arab style are rectangular. Gorgeous :)

 Monkeys are not my fav animals but this one is really cute! As this postcard arrived with the other two, I am sneaking it in under an Unesco post ... xD
