Arusha Onsen Hotels - Reviews and Rates

Good morning everyone! This entry is going to end up being really long because I have tons of things to talk about...

First, this week began the first week of day camp at GSC. To explain a little about day camp: it consists of over 200 kids at 3 different schools, ages 13-20, all voluntarily participating in a two week "camp" to learn all...

While every market has been interesting, the last few have been especially so. Today I needed to pick up some fruit for lunch, and something to spruce up tonight's curry. We took a brief side tour to the small town of Kondoa, not expecting much. My first impression was surprising, a strong Arab influence permeated the market. I walked past stall...

December 8th?? I know I shouldn't post this, but I'm going to. Moo-ha-ha!! (that's my evil laugh) I'm having a "moment." Sometimes I really, really hate Europeans. In these moments, rare as they are, perhaps once every five or so years lasting about one hour, I feel enraged. Really. I think it's because in general I accept my status as an Americ...

Spent today on a walking tour of Moivaro and seeing a few sites in Arusha. We went to the market and were followed by "flycatchers", had lunch at a western style restaurant in downtown Arusha.

Hello all, This has been a crazy week. I began my internship yesterday. The hospital I'm at doesn't have a computer for it's statistical data so everything is done by hand and kept in books. I think I might work there only a few days a week and work at another hospital for the rest of the week. It depends on how much work they have for me to do....

Na Lake Mburo stond een reisdag naar Tanzania op het programma. De grensformaliteiten bij de Ugandese en Tanzaniaanse grens verliepen soepel. Eindstop die dag was Bukoba, een stadje aan Lake Victoria. De volgende dag hebben we onder begeleiding van een lokale gids een fietstocht gemaakt door Bukoba. Wel leuk. Na het avondeten gingen we op weg na...

Apologies for not updating for a while but the internet is really slow here and it we don't often have access to it either. For this reason as well we probably won't upload any photo's till later in our travels. Don't wanna go into it too much but we finally got our luggage back at the 11th hour before we set off on our overland tour 9 days ago....

TANZANIA (PART 1) The first 10 weeks of my travels was spent with a not for profit organization called Greenforce in a small Maasai village called Eloui, which is near Arusha in Tanzania. The aim of the project is predominantly wildlife conservation, however we work with the local Maasai community, teaching English to the Maasai warriors we empl...

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 they had a chance of selling me a trip as I walked back from the bathroom! Probably not exactly...

From Nairobi, we headed south into Maasi country of southern Kenya, northern Tanzania. The Maasi are mostly sheep & goat herdsman who wear bright red plaid blankets. Sometimes you see boys that are less than 10 years old with a herd of 20 or so cattle by the side of the road. I had a chance to walk around a Maasi cattle market where there were h...
