Solo to Africa – Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and Tanzania and Zanzibar Island Solo to Africa Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and Tanzania and Zanzibar Island I went to Africa as I wanted to use all airline points I had amassed. I could go as far as Addis Ababa, business class on Lufthansa, so said: why not?! Seeing Olduvai (Oldupai) Gorge has always been a dream of mine, so I mad
The Lizard, the Witch Doctor and the Wazungu – Moshi and Zanzibar, Tanzania The Lizard, the Witch Doctor and the Wazungu Moshi, Tanzania I wasn’t sure if I should write about all this but the owl says it’s cool to talk about the jellyfish. So here goes… I spent the last year living in Moshi, near Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. Last year for New Year&#
Moshi Hit or Miss: Tourist Reviews from Tanzania – Moshi, Tanzania The city in with all things Kilimanjaro are based, Moshi has few ‘must do’ attractions outside of its shining star. Ah, but what a star it is. Surprisingly few restaurants cater to the tourists, although hotels rely soley on the money they bring. A note worth mentioning – gear
My Time as a Teacher in Africa – Tanzania As I passed the daily assembly of the Village School, it overwhelmingly dawned on me quite what an experience this is. I have to get a picture, or ten! There is something about the mundane tasks and daily African events that stick in my head. The assembly was one of these. A strict and ordered
Taking On Kilimanjaro – Mt. Kilimanjaro, Tanzania, Africa What is it about turning fifty that makes someone want to climb a mountain? It never occurred to me, in my thirties, to visit Machu Picchu, cage dive with Great Whites or climb Mount Kilimanjaro. Maybe fifty is a wake up call – as if to say, “you better do something special becaus
From Moshi to Uhuru Peak – Mt. Kilimanjaro, Tanzania, Africa Arrival into TanzaniaJake and I left Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi after spending one night in Kenya’s capital. We left in search of answers. Answers to what it was about Kilimanjaro that had attracted us and attracts 25,000 people annually to attempt to climb its magical landscape.
Why I Should Keep Quiet About the Mahale and Katavi National Parks of Western Tanzania – Africa For over half a year, I have abstained from writing this article, because of a strong feeling that I shouldn't. Just as a good guidebook may omit a local hangout spot to keep it from being overrun by tourists, I kept thinking that perhaps not telling anyone about our experience in western T
Burundi to Kigoma – Tanzania, Africa I knew I was going to like Tanzania the moment I caught a daladala, minibus, south from the Burundian border. The vehicle looked like something out of the 1800's: packed to the brim, locals laughing, joking, talking, directions being yelled with more people being packed on with bags, bik
Day 28: Lushoto, Tanzania – Big Brother’s African Brother Lushoto, Tanzania Day 28: 25 August 2002 10:30 pm Woke up to Jason and Natasha having yet another argument – this time about Natasha not wanting to participate in today’s guided walk. We had already decided that we would spend the morning recuperating and pass on the guided walk.
Day 29: Lushoto to Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania – Big Brother’s African … Lushoto to Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania Day 29: 26 August 2002 8:30 pm Tom and Penny are reprimanded by the tour leader (Big Brother) for openly carrying a Lonely Planet guide in public. Yet again, I had to remind myself not to plunge head first over the edge of the mountain when I stepped out of
Day 34: Stone Town, Zanzibar Island to Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania … Stone Town, Zanzibar Island to Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania Day 34: 31 August 2002 9:00 pm The Village People were right – it’s fun to stay at the YMCA! I’m not bothering with day 33 as it is just more of the same – shopping, etc so I’ve jumped to day 34. It was tim
Day 23: Nairobi, Kenya to Arusha, Tanzania – Big Brother’s African Brother Nairobi, Kenya to Arusha, Tanzania Day 23: 20 August 2002 8:30 pm Three truck mates leave in Nairobi and three new truck mates replace them. (US $1 = 970 Tsh) At last, I feel strangely positive this morning even though it is another miserable, grey, drizzly day. At 8:15am, running late as us
Day 35: Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania – Big Brother’s African Brother Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania Day 35: 1 September 2002 7:30 pm Not everyone in the group are overjoyed at being reunited on the truck as it does not take long for reality to set in. Two new truck mates join like lambs to the slaughter. And it’s nomination day again! It was time for our Mweng
Day 37: Iringa, Tanzania to Chitimba, Malawi – Big Brother’s African Brother Iringa, Tanzania to Chitimba, Malawi Day 37: 3 September 2002 8:30 pm The group are excited by the prospect of crossing into a new country, while Tom and Penny contemplate if they have a future on the truck (again). (US $1 = MK 80) To leave the truck or not to leave the truck – that is
Day 36: Dar Es Salaam to Iringa, Tanzania – Big Brother’s African Brother Dar Es Salaam to Iringa, Tanzania Day 36: 2 September 2002 9:00 pm Natasha and Jason drop the bombshell that they are deserting the truck. Our distraught tour leader wails ‘This is the first time I’ve ever lost people from one of my tours!’ At 6:00am, the time that the truc
Climbing Mt. Meru (1 of 2) – Tanzania "I don’t know if I like this," remarked Neil, my hiking partner. "I’ve never liked exposed heights. I don’t know if I can make it." I sympathized with him. While our surroundings were awe-inspiring, they inspired a lot of fear as well. To our left, the sof
Meeting the Whale Sharks – Mafia Island, Tanzania, Africa A map of Tanzania showing Mafia Island I am a keen traveler. I had already been in Tanzania a few years ago, decided on a second trip because I loved the country and wanted to explore the Southern Circuit and Mafia Island (previous trip was in the North and Zanzibar). I want to share some
Memoirs of an Irish Lad on Kilimanjaro – Tanzania The week prior to the trip is filled with nervous anticipation, the typical questions before a major event begin to surface, fueled by neurotic paranoia and the rants of a mind journeying into unchartered territory, have I done enough preparation? Am I fit enough? How will I handle life above 1
Climbing Mt. Meru: Tanzania, East Africa My family and I were living in Tanzania, East Africa in a little town named Arusha, located at the foot of Mt. Meru. Now, Meru is not some dinky little bump on the surface of the Earth, but rather a 14,979 ft active strato-volcano, and the 2nd highest peak in Africa. While not a technical climb
Hammering Heart Rates in Tanzania Hammering Heart Rates in Tanzania The ultimate adrenalin destination Some people will do anything for an adrenalin rush; they’ll drink three litres of Red Bull, get up before dawn for the Boxing Day sales, place an unlikely bet on England’s football
