Tanzania operates on East Africa Time (EAT), which is 3 hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC+3). The country does not observe daylight saving time, so the offset remains constant throughout the year.
All of Tanzania follows the same timezone, including Zanzibar. Major cities including Dar es Salaam, Dodoma, Mwanza, and Arusha all observe EAT. Dodoma is the official capital, while Dar es Salaam is the largest city and main commercial hub.
Tanzania is home to Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest peak at 5,895 meters, and the Serengeti National Park, famous for the Great Wildebeest Migration. The country also contains parts of three of Africa's Great Lakes: Lake Victoria, Lake Tanganyika, and Lake Nyasa. Zanzibar was once the world's leading clove producer.
