Tanganyika for an African holiday EAA East African Airways

This is a bright, eye-catching original travel poster promoting Tanganyika as the destination “for an African holiday,” issued for East African Airways (EAA). The design features a bold yellow background with a charming graphic of an old vintage photo camera attached to a large luggage-style tag reading TANGANYIKA.

A clever visual detail: the “camera strap” becomes a window framing a safari photograph — two lions resting beneath a tree — giving the effect of a photo captured inside the strap.

Bottom panel reads “fly there – East African Airways” with the airline’s classic winged logo. East African Airways Corporation (EAA) was from 1946 to 1977 the leading airline serving the countries of Kenya, Tanganyika (later Tanzania) and Uganda.

Condition: Very good overall with light age wear; pinholes in the corners. Colors remain vibrant and the poster displays beautifully, especially framed.
