Between Africa's highest point, Kilimanjaro (5,895m or 19,340 ft), a dormant snowcapped volcano, and Africa's largest lake, Victoria, lies one of the best game viewing areas on the continent. This region includes the famous Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater, the largest unflooded, intact caldera (collapsed cone of a volcano) in the world, home to possibly the largest permanent concentration of wildlife in Africa (although poaching endangers some species). Tourism is vital to the economy and wildlife conservation. Tanzania includes the spice islands of Zanzibar, Pemba, and Mafia; the African population consists of more than 120 ethnic groups. Some 80% of Tanzanians farm or fish at subsistence levels.
