There are 12 national parks and 15 game reserves which are heavily stocked with a wide range of flora and fauna, but with the exception of the "Northern circuit" of game parks others remain relatively under-exploited. The "Southern Circuit" embraces the well-known Selous Game Reserve, the Mikumi and Ruaha National Parks with a lot of lions, and the under-utilized shores of Lake Malawi and Lake Tanganyika.</div> <bR> <bR> <div> </div> <div> Mountain Kilimanjaro</div> <div> </div> <div> The scenery and topography of the country, including its very friendly people, harbours the growth of excellent cultural tourism, beach holidays, game hunting, historical and archaeological ventures and certainly the best wildlife photographic safaris on the continent.
