Tanzania - Squiz the World goes to...
11/05/2026 | 12 mins.
Each fortnight, we give the world globe a spin and see where we land. Then we take the kids of Australia on an audio excursion to visit that country and its people. Join your captain, Christie Kijurina, on an audio adventure.

Today, we’re flying to Tanzania, a spectacular East African country famous for the Great Migration, where millions of animals thunder across the Serengeti plains each year. Along the way, we’ll climb mighty Mount Kilimanjaro, discover some of the oldest human footprints ever found, explore the spice-trading history of Zanzibar, and learn about the Maasai people and the Swahili language.

So, buckle up and get ready to explore Tanzania.

With flu season making its annual return, we’re heading back into the Squiz Kids vault to revisit one of our most fascinating and slightly gross Shortcuts. In Vanquished Viruses and Banished Bacteria, we explore the diseases that once terrified people around the world, from scurvy on the high seas to the Black Death, polio and smallpox.

Along the way, uncover some of the strange and surprising ways people tried to treat illness before modern medicine, and explain how science has helped control, and in some cases, eliminate some of history’s most dangerous diseases.

Plus, we take a look at brand new research from Harvard Medical School revealing a hidden “map” inside the nose. It’s a fascinating look at one of your body’s most powerful — and surprising — senses… hiding right under your nose.
