It Was All Worthwhile
This is a top pick! I caught the cheaper and slower ferry over to Zanzibar, it's amazing how they make the sea that translucent turquiose colour. I had a quick overnight stop in Stonetown when I arrived before getting a tourist bus out to the east coast of Zanzibar. ...
Volunteering debate continues
This is a top pick! The whole issue of foreign aid and volunteering and its impact on local people has got us thinking a lot. There seems to be a slight unspoken tension between the locals and us mzungus. Inevitably it always comes down to money: they think we ...
A bit about Tanzania
This is a top pick! ... are so many exotic and evocative place names that add to the country's lustre. Zanzibar, Kilimanjaro, Serengeti, Usambara, even Tanzania itself, all roll off the tongue and conjour up amazing images. Tanzania has an interesting past, with periods ...
Into the Deep
This is a top pick! We were the last ones to be picked up by an old school bus. The bus was full of dive and snorkel crowd. The boats where not to far away, so the uncomfortable ride was short. Out of the bus we had to grab a tank and a dive bag with our gear and drag it ...
You Can't Get There From Here
This is a top pick! ... long. We had heard there was a train heading out the next morning (there are no roads that head east from Kigoma to the rest of Tanzania) so we decided to try and grab some seats. We were up at five am and headed to the station. Hundreds of people were ...
A Mighty Wind
This is a top pick! Greetings from once again from Tanzania! After relaxing for more than a week on the beautiful white sand beaches of Zanzibar we headed off for northern Tanzania to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro. Flying in I looked outside the window of the airplane and saw ...
Good bye Dar
This is a top pick! ... I sit in the glass rooms, trying to see though to the other side. I hear Afrikaans accents complaining, mentioning how 'black' Tanzania is, how even though the ladies are beautiful it simply wouldn't do to have them as anything but a servant - unpaid if ...
Kilimanjaro, Moshi and Arusha
This is a top pick! ... and swapped some sweets for a giant bunch of bananas from a local woman's tree. We stopped in Moshi, the coffee capital of Tanzania and I stocked up on Camel Lights and a whole beef fillet, vacuum packed for only TSh 4000 ($3). The rain came down hard, ...
Salaam Dar es Salaam
This is a top pick! ... ), my long blonde wig and makeup came in really useful here! One thing i've noticed about people in the service industry in Tanzania is that they're all as miserable as sin, including the cafeteria staff at the YWCA. I think smiling would crack their ...
Muzungu in the mist......Gorillas...
This is a top pick! ... 14 amazing hours with the chimps back at Kibale, Uganda, had bag stolen in Kampala..arrgghh, bus over border into Tanzania, cross lake Victoria on very old colonial overnight ferry, arrive Mwanza for safari.... Nitty Gritty: Having collected Hilary ...
Day 4 - Water shortage in high camp
This is a top pick! Another day in moonscape type landscape. A few ups and downs with clouds for the first few hours. We got a few clear moments later in the day and some cool moments when the clouds rose up from below us and the valley floor. We ...
Weekend in Zanzibar Darling
This is a top pick! ... a night there before heading back to the airport, where I had spent over 2 hours the previous day waiting to get a visa to enter Tanzania, to meet Meg. It was brilliant to see her and catch up on all the gossip and what's being going on..wedding plans, ...
Kili Trek - Day 7
This is a top pick! ... more human now! The Kili experience is now over, one of the seven summits is ticked off the list and conquered. A four day Safari starts tomorrow which should be a good way to end my time in Tanzania , certainly more relaxing than the Kili ...
Moshi and Me for a Month
This is a top pick! ... is poverty. The fact that a place like Ethiopia seems more desperate shouldn't make me feel like the suffering in a place like Tanzania is more acceptable just because it is a tiny bit better. Yesterday, Michelle, George, Frank, John, and I ...
Northern Road Trip 1
This is a top pick! ... As a general rule border towns are lousy places, but Nakonde must rank among the worst. The frontier between Zambia and Tanzania is an open one, established decades ago to facilitate trade between two of Africa's most peaceful countries. Locals pass ...
Day 1 - A day at the zoo!
This is a top pick! Busy morning before leaving - ATM, internet and a restock on toiletries - $12 for a stick of Right Guard! It will save other people on experiencing my smelly pits though. I was very careful to check on the other participant's nationalities. 2 Dutch I ...
Safari (4 days)
This is a top pick! Day 1 - Tarangire national park The first stop on the Safari was the Tarangire national park, after a long drive from Moshi via Arusha we arrived at the gate. We were in a cool Toyota safari land cruiser with two flaps on the roof ...
Tanzania
This is a top pick! Hi Guys, It's time to tell you about the second half of our safari, in Tanzania. Same truck with the same people but we have added another truck with a smaller group that has been on the road longer and does not really want to associate with us much. ...

Tarangire - 2 months on the road
This is a top pick! ... none stop and each park did have its own unique features. I guess it could be called a sampler of 4 of the major parks in Tanzania and I'm glad for my first time I did it that way, although it did feel rushed. Now I know the ropes I'd probably ...
"Born to be Wild...."
This is a top pick! ... I was born to be wild...." I'm imagining you all singing along now so get into the spirit :-) She Said: "Jambo" from Tanzania and WOW!!! The beauty of this trip has been the incredible diversity of experience and our Safari just took everything to ...
Zanzibar, Pemba and Tanga
This is a top pick! ... only Mzungus on board. Saturday 9th I met two politicians on the ferry, who were coming to Pemba to celebrate 'UHURU', Tanzania's Independence Day. I asked them about the police checkpoints on Zanzibar, and to my surprise they told me they were ...
