Everything you need to identify Tanzania in GeoGuessr — from the writing system and road signs to bollard colours, utility poles, and the landscape itself.
These are the fastest visual identifiers — things you should look for in the first few seconds of a round.
Kilimanjaro (Africa's highest mountain — 5895m, snowcapped) is visible from much of northern Tanzania
Left-hand traffic; East African savanna landscape (Serengeti, Ngorongoro references)
Swahili on signs: 'Barabara' (road), 'Hospitali' (hospital) — Swahili is a Bantu language with Arabic influences
Zanzibar (island off the coast): Arabic-influenced Stone Town architecture is very distinctive
Maasai cultural references (distinctive red garments, beaded jewelry) common near northern national parks
These details help narrow down a location once you've spotted the country — or confirm your guess when you're unsure.

White; faded; variable

Tanzania drives on the left side of the road. In-game, the Google camera car is on the left side — so oncoming traffic comes from the right. The steering wheel is on the right side of the car (visible in reflections). This immediately rules out most of continental Europe, the Americas, and most of Asia.
Tanzania is home to Olduvai Gorge — known as the 'Cradle of Mankind' — where fossils of our earliest human ancestors were found dating back 1.8 million years. Mount Kilimanjaro is the world's tallest free-standing mountain.
