- List of protected areas in Tanzania
Protected areas in Tanzania are extremely varied, ranging from sea habitats over grasslands to the top of the Kilimanjaro, the tallest mountain in Africa. About 1/3 of the country's total area is protected to a certain degree as "National Park", "Game Reserve", "Marine Park", "Forest Reserve", etc. This list gives an overview on the various protected areas in Tanzania including their predominant habitat, wildlife and flora. Especially remarkable species (endemics or those occurring in unusually large numbers) are set in bold.
National Parks
The 16 National Parks together comprise an area of more than 42,000 km². Names like Arusha and Serengeti are well known, partly due to films on African wildlife.
