Safari!
This is a top pick! Jambo!! Hello all from Africa!! I am still alive in the land of the HOTTTT! Wilting faster than a NW flower but enjoying it immensely. A very unique experience. Incomparable to America. My safari consists of Millinga (my guide), ...
Evolution
This is a top pick! ... Leakeys at Oldupai in 1959. Another is a photo and cast of the footprints discovered by Mary Leakey at Latoli, Tanzania. Evolutionists theorize these establish a the link between primates and humans. And lastly, a display of the famous ...
Close to nature
This is a top pick! Hello! My most anticipated stop of the safari. Why? 22 square kilometers of the highest concentration of wildlife. The Ngorongoro Crater is actually a collapsed volcano. The nutrient-rich environment has produced animals that ...
Lions & rhinos
This is a top pick! Hello again. This morning I caught sunrise over Ngorongoro. It's a beautiful sight seeing clouds billowing in over the 600 meter rim. Last night we had buffalo in our camp. I was really looking forward to the morning game drive. It ...
Elephants
This is a top pick! "Are you sure?" Dowdi's favorite line, which I didn't understand. Dowdi cooked some delicious meals on safari. Traditional African food with a Western twist to accommodate tourists. He's very cautious about sanitation too: ...
The Prosper Connection and the Haven of Peace
This is a top pick! ... . He graciously gave me his cell number and offered me hospice with his family (they sounded wealthy) if and when I got to Tanzania. I called about him 6 months later when I was planning my itenerary for this trip. He invited me to his house in Florissant ...
Two Nights in Mbeya
This is a top pick! ... chicken and ugali (nsima, sadza, pup, all the same corn mush) with him and his sister at her home. Internet is cheap in Tanzania, less than a dollar per hour, sometimes 50 cents. I made contact with Prosper, my Dar es Salaam contact, via phone. He said ...
Leopards & cheetah
This is a top pick! Hello everybody. Lobo was interesting with all the lions. Millinga and Dowdi thought the real migration was located further West, however, so we headed to Seronera. On the way, I saw two interesting bucks sitting on a cluster of rocks. I ...
'Scuttlebuckets' and old presumptions
This is a top pick! ... she was salvaged in 1927, converted into a ferry, and has been shuttling the run from Bujumbura (Burundi) to Kigoma (Tanzania) and Mpulungu (Zambia) since. Fractious Burundi has left the Bujumbura leg ‘under suspension’. There is comfort the ...
Zanzibar Island
This is a top pick! ... new best friend - Fanta. Orange, red or purple...they're all good. Anything cold in a bottle goes down fast here. Tanzania is located along the Indian Ocean. It has been a major trading route for centuries. Fishing is a common ...
More Salaam
This is a top pick! Prosper reminds me of someone my mom might work with at Deaconess Hospital. He took me out to his back yard - a giant garden on a hill above an gully. He said that it's been in disrepair since his mom died, but it looked beautiful to me. All the ...
Wildebeest Migration
This is a top pick! Hello again. Have I mentioned one of the rules of safari is not to leave your tent at night? Needless to say, everybody uses the water closet before retiring. This evening we heard a pack of hyaena outside camp. So I took some ...
further down into the wilderness
This is a top pick! Yes yes, again early, that is how safari's roll. So a quick breakfast and we are off again to the airstrip near the lake. just tree little buildings and a strip of gravel near the cliff. Soon we see out little Cessna landing on the strip. As we get on ...
Stonetown stings like a bee
This is a top pick! ... it that much of an attraction. Fifteen minutes of ocean and we land on the Dar es Salaam airport again, where we started our Tanzania and Zanzibar adventure no more than two weeks ago. Those two weeks have costed more than three months in Asia, but then ...
Off to Africa
This is a top pick! ... caffeine. Our next hop is to Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania. This flight is another three to four hours. Finally we touch ground in Tanzania. O my god, yes we have arrived in Africa. A line of twelve officials sit behind a desk to process our passports and ...
Ngorongoro Crater
This is a top pick! Rain overnight and I don't think my flyless tent cut the mustard. At one point with strong gusts of wind outside I had water droplets landing on me. A very steep road down into the crater - this place is so green compared to the Serengeti. Buffalo, ...
Arusha - The town of tout!
This is a top pick! Into the Minja Hotel and I was accosted by touts on the street in the 5 yards from my taxi to the entrance. I thought that was bad, but after I'd dived into the shower there were a bunch of them waiting outside the shower for when I exited and thought ...
Zanzibar!
This is a top pick! Yet another day of travels, but not ordinary travels, not our regular 'jump on taxi, get to airport / station, board plane/train, arrive and get taxi to hotel. No not today, today we commence our journey onward to the breathtaking island of Zanzibar. In ...
Tanzanian capital
This is a top pick! Hello finally, I'm enjoying this trip immensely, mostly because I'm going to four places and getting a variety of experiences. I have to admit, it's taken quite an adjustment to live in the 3rd world. Shift, shift and shift some more. ...
Wake up under a mosquito net
This is a top pick! As the first sunlight hits out mosquito net we awake. There is nothing here but us with our entourage, camping out by a little creek. The area of our camp ground is deep in to Messai territory, so the chances of cats visiting are slim. Maybe a good thing ...
Back to Moshi
This is a top pick! ... more people greeting by kissing each cheek. He also said that the Chagga are the "most educated" of the 100+ tribes in Tanzania and that they're smart business people. The Mount Kilimanjaro remained hidden in the clouds the whole time I was there. ...
Usambara - Day 2 - An evening with the nuns!
This is a top pick! I found out where all the chicken shit came from. About 5am there was a cockerel cock-a-doodle-doing in the corridor right outside my room! Tea, chapatti and Karimata (a donut type thing) for breakfast at another dive joint in the morning before ...
Sarah's home
This is a top pick! ... through it. On the lighter side, one of the things Mtwara is known for is wood carvings. Some of the best in Tanzania. So I loaded up with animal carvings in remembrance of my safari. Sarah had a bunch for her Peace Corps ...
A day at the Zoo
This is a top pick! As we know today, today we will see one of the most amazing things that we have ever seen. In tradition with Safari sleep deprivation, morning comes as early as ever. It was still half dark outside when we made our way from our villa at the far end of ...
Mtae to Dar es Salaam - Don't miss the bus
This is a top pick! ... . A few slums on the way into Dar but on the whole it looked very vibrant and more affluent than else where in Tanzania. I found a population of 3 million hard to believe, from what I could see it looked more like a big town. Eventually the Indian ...
Day 6 - Down down down and out
This is a top pick! Woke up to rain - we had certainly seen our fair share of rain on this trip! Poor Freidel didn't like the rain at all and she was having a tough time of things. Freidel and Markus were nice people but on the way down after hearing ya, ya, ya and the same ...
Sunset rock
This is a top pick! ... he is saving up to go to the guide school to get a license. This would cost him about 2000 US dollars. A small fortune here in Tanzania. We nibble on the nuts and zip our champagne as it slowly gets dark around us. It is time to head back to camp for a ...
Violence in Southern Thailand
This is a top pick! A few years ago whilst I was leading a group of young schoolgirls on a safari in Tanzania, we stopped to have lunch beside a lake in Ngorogoro National Park. The kids were all from Sydney, but one of them, Linh, had grown up for some time in Vietnam. We ...
Usambara - Day 1 - The drunken guide
This is a top pick! ... . The locals must have been happy that the rains seemed to be finally returning. The short rains last year had not arrived in Tanzania and I think these were the first real rains for 9 months or so. Coming into town all the locals kids were chanting ...
Day 3 - Snow - Alpine Zone - Moonscape
This is a top pick! Plenty of snow coming down the mountain side from the summit of Kili to just above our campsite this morning. The mist soon came down as we started to ascent into the alpine zone making for a moonscape like morning. We had some drizzle before lunch ...
