n
n
n
n
n
n
nSo today’s holiday means “Seven Seven.” Which is of course today’s date!
n
n
n
n
n
nThe reason for the holiday is commemorating the 1954 founding of the political party, the Tanganyika African National Union, which worked for the nation’s independence.
n
n
n
nAlso, the Dar es Salaam International Trade Fair takes place on this day!
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
nThere are lots of other Swahili resources available for free, like Bino and Fino and Zippy the Zebra.
n
n
n
n
n
n
nTanzania is amazing! From Mount Kilamanjaro, which is the highest mountain in Africa…
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n…to the Olduvai Gorge, which is one of the most important anthropological sites in the world, where scientists have discovered ancient hominin fossils…
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n…and from the Serengeti National Park, famous for massive migrations of wildebeest and zebra…
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n…to the House of Wonders, which was built as a palace but now serves as a museum…
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n…some of the most famous African sights await visitors to Tanzania.
