Half sheet, The poster features a lioness walking in front of the text "VISIT SERENGETI TANGANYIKA" and an instruction to "CONSULT YOUR TRAVEL AGENT FOR DETAILS." The posters are reproductions of a vintage original from the 1950s.
The poster refers to Tanganyika, which became an independent state from British rule in 1961. In 1964, Tanganyika united with Zanzibar to form the modern-day country of Tanzania. The name Tanzania is a blend of "Tan" from Tanganyika and "Zan" from Zanzibar.
Serengeti National Park is the oldest national park in Tanzania, officially established in 1951. It was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1981. The name "Serengeti" comes from the Maasai language, meaning "endless plains" |
