Jozani Chwaka Bay National Park

The Jozani Chwaka Bay National Park is a 50 km2 national park in Tanzania located on the island of Zanzibar. Situated south of Chwaka Bay on low-lying land, the area is prone to flooding, which nurtures a lush swamplike environment of moisture-loving trees and ferns. The national park is famously home to populations of Zanzibar red colobus monkey, an endangered species found only on Zanzibar, as well as other monkey species, bushbabies, duikers and more than 40 species of birds.

Flags of the World - Tanzania

The colors and symbols of the flag carry cultural, political, and regional meanings. The green alludes to the natural vegetation and rich agricultural resources of the country, while black represents the Swahili people who are native to Tanzania. The blue epitomizes the Indian Ocean, as well as the nation's numerous lakes and rivers. The thin stripes stand for Tanzania's mineral wealth, derived from the rich deposits in the land.

Thanks a lot Deo!
