- Playing The Masaai At PoolMy time in Bagamoyo is almost at an end! I am heading back to Dar es Salaam on Monday so I can get my bus up to Moshi on Tuesday. Bagamoyo has definately grown on me a little more. The girls Posted by HelenMelon in Explore. Dream. Discover. | Dec 21, 2010
- Cultural DifferencesI'm coming to the end of my second week in Bagamoyo! Life here is so relaxed, it's crazy! I took all my kids to the beach today, also took them on Monday! I ended up with 20 kids somehow Posted by HelenMelon in Explore. Dream. Discover. | Dec 21, 2010
- Land of Rice and Beans Settled in to my new home in Tanzania now. Bagamoyo is an old fishing port and I think it used to be the capital. Now the capital is Dodoma (I thought it was Dar es Salaam but apparently not)! Posted by HelenMelon in Explore. Dream. Discover. | Dec 21, 2010
- Middle Eastern de ja vuWe arrived in the cavernous station in Dar es Salaam, which was carpeted with people and their belongings in some eerie half-light, regrouped and headed to the hostel. Only it turned out to be a bit like the christmas Posted by rachndave in Adventure Points | Dec 17, 2010
- Goodbye Malawi, Hello TanzaniaIt’s been a very long time since I wrote, we’ve been off the beaten track a bit. When we have had access to internet it has been to sort out flights to ethiopia and home. So where were we? Posted by rachndave in Adventure Points | Dec 17, 2010
- Quick update - in TanzaniaWe're in Dar es Salaam at the moment, it's really nice to be in a big city again. Heading to Zanzibar tomorrow which frankly I thought was a made up place shared with Timbuktu and Outer Mongolia. Very Posted by rachndave in Adventure Points | Nov 29, 2010
- 5 Weeks DownWell, here I am, halfway through my stay on Zanzibar, watching So You Think You Can Dance on tv because there is nothing better on. You’d think me being on an island surrounded by gorgeous beaches and filled with so Posted by MzunguM in A Tale of Two Continents | Nov 25, 2010
- Mikumi Day 5 - Last Day of Class.We are winding down here at Mikumi and Jim is delivering his last entrepreneurship class. He is tying things together with review and questions and bringing the elements back into the business plan he presented on the first day. The Posted by NSCC Intl in NSCC International | Nov 18, 2010
- Day 4 in Mikumi – Jim makes accounting interesting!The classes have really gone well this week and the instructors are very keen and interested. Today Jim gave an overview of accounting in 3 hours AND, he managed to make it interesting. We learned how to record expenses Posted by NSCC Intl in NSCC International | Nov 18, 2010
- Mikumi Day 3 - Happy Eid!Happy Eid from hot and sunny Mikumi. Today is a national holiday - Eid-ul-Adha - and there were no classes at VETA Mikumi today...except for our entrepreneurship training! Most instructors graciously agreed to attend the session this morning despite t Posted by NSCC Intl in NSCC International | Nov 17, 2010
- Day 2 in MikumiGreetings from Mikumi: Today Ashley and I got to the training session around 8:00am and waited for a few minutes until the students finished the project they were working on. The training is taking place in the building that houses Posted by NSCC Intl in NSCC International | Nov 16, 2010
- Journey to Kenyan borderWe are on the road again – for the last time... We leave at 6am, and I am glad to get away from the campsite – too many women vying for 3 toilets, 2 showers and 1 washing-basin... Finding toilet paper Posted by TTraveller in Africa for the anxious | Nov 16, 2010
- Buying drinks the Massai wayAH is in saving mode, so we go to a local bar to get him a beer. He is doing quite well with his Swaheli, but then gets stuck when the girl behind the bar doesn’t give him the expected Posted by TTraveller in Africa for the anxious | Nov 16, 2010
- Day 1 in MikumiJambo! (Hello!) from Mikumi, Tanzania. Jim and I left at the Halifax airport on Friday, November 12th at 2pm and arrived in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania at 9pm on Saturday, November 13th. Dar es Salaam is 7 hours ahead of Halifax, Posted by NSCC Intl in NSCC International | Nov 15, 2010

- Snake tamingWhile I am writing my notes, I keep thinking about the snakes and my initial goal to come back from the journey a more courageous and bold traveller. Doesn’t this call for a high note? Like me handling that harmless snake? When Posted by TTraveller in Africa for the anxious | Nov 15, 2010
- Massai Village WalkA very different experience from 2 days ago! First, there is an impressive little museum, show-casing how the Massai live. I find their culture extremely challenging. There is the issue of polygamy. The chief in the village we visit has 9 wives Posted by TTraveller in Africa for the anxious | Nov 15, 2010
- Snakes!We are confronted with every snake that is found in Tanzania and a very enthusiastic carer, who loves all snakes. Let’s just say that I don’t share his enthusiasm, especially when I read some of the descriptions: A security guy who Posted by TTraveller in Africa for the anxious | Nov 15, 2010
- Travel to Snake ParkWe are driving back towards Arusha via Lake Manyana. We have come this route on the way up, but today the landscape looks much more dramatic through the interplay of clouds and light. The temperature has been pleasantly cool in the Posted by TTraveller in Africa for the anxious | Nov 15, 2010
- Ngorongoro Wildlife HuntWe finally arrive at the place that I will probably never be able to write or pronounce without stumbling. Ngorongoro is apparently the sound the Masai cowbells are making. Mmh, not the first sound that comes to mind when I think Posted by TTraveller in Africa for the anxious | Nov 15, 2010
- SurrenderI decide to go for a prayer walk, releasing my frustration about the broken Netbook and especially the broken camera. I reflect on how I always have the sense of missing out on something and might indeed miss out if I Posted by TTraveller in Africa for the anxious | Nov 15, 2010
- Kudu CampOnce again I have a cold shower, as no hot water seems to be available. I am at the point where I am no longer trying all that hard to have a hot shower... Otherwise, I have no complaints about the Posted by TTraveller in Africa for the anxious | Nov 15, 2010
- Journey to KaratuThe first key stop is Arusha. The area where we stop (as usual, by the supermarket!) seems to have attracted a lot of expats. Not surprising really, as Arusha seems to be a modern town. Just outside Arusha, we see Masai Posted by TTraveller in Africa for the anxious | Nov 15, 2010
- The strangest village walk I’ve doneOur tour guide arranges a walk for all of us in the foothills of Kili. I am looking forward to exploring a Tanzanian village on the mainland, but begin to wonder how many explanations we will get when our guide Posted by TTraveller in Africa for the anxious | Nov 15, 2010
- Camping in the rainI wake up when cold rain drops splatter on my face. No idea how they got in, as it is only drizzling. Maybe through the mosquito netting... I am glad to have AH to fix the problem. Now we finally find out Posted by TTraveller in Africa for the anxious | Nov 14, 2010
