- My new home town - MoshiMoshi town is about 25 mins walk from my house where I live and teach English, Moshi has a population of 145 thousand. The town is pretty hectic whenever you go - I seem to time it for the end Posted by angcoleman in A year off... | May 3, 2011
- The Love BoatJoseph came and met me out front of the hotel around 9am this morning. We were headed to the outskirts of town to meet his family but first, I needed to pick up some washing that I had dropped off Posted by VincitVeritas in My African Odyssey | May 3, 2011
- Saanane IslandThis morning I took a boat across to Sannane Island, which is a rocky little blip in the middle of Mwanza Harbour. The local government is clearly desperate to turn the island into a tourist attraction but to be honest, Posted by VincitVeritas in My African Odyssey | Apr 29, 2011
- Déjà vu! I was able to sleep in and relax this morning because I knew the boat would definitely not be leaving till this afternoon. I called Kennedy around lunchtime to confirm what time I should arrive at the port and wasn't Posted by VincitVeritas in My African Odyssey | Apr 28, 2011
- One wrong turn deserves another...Mwanza is a reasonably sized port-city that lies on the southern shores of Lake Victoria. It is a hub for ships crossing the lake to Uganda and Kenya. I was determined to travel by ferry or ship at some stage Posted by VincitVeritas in My African Odyssey | Apr 28, 2011
- Striking out on my own again.I had a pretty good idea before I left of where I wanted to go. I had even mapped out a route with probable arrival dates at key cities and towns. I wouldn’t say it was an inflexible route but Posted by VincitVeritas in My African Odyssey | Apr 27, 2011
- Trains, Plains and a short little ride on a scooter.Despite our late arrival the night before, we had to be up early this morning because (according to my guidebook) there was a train leaving for Tabora around lunchtime and if we missed it, we would be stuck hanging around Posted by VincitVeritas in My African Odyssey | Apr 25, 2011
- Tanzania: Arusha: Will This Dirt Road Take Us to Kenya?===We got up and watched Discovery channel for a few hours and now want to take Ruby’s family and friends in India on a field trip go see tigers in Rajasthan.

- Free SafariThere is only one decent hotel in Sumbawanga and Tobi had the great idea of going there early this morning to enquire about a lift to the next major town to the north, Mpanda. We knew there was a bus Posted by VincitVeritas in My African Odyssey | Apr 25, 2011
- How much for your motorbike?The plan was to reach Matai before all the trucks coming from Kasanga (the most southern port town on the Tanzanian side of Lake Tanganyika) had passed through for the day. So at 7am, without the benefit of coffee or Posted by VincitVeritas in My African Odyssey | Apr 24, 2011
- Tanzania: Ngorongoro Crater: Black Rhinos and Red Ox-Peckers===We woke to a beautiful sunrise outside of our panoramic window overlooking the crater.

- Is Tanzanian hospitality a victimless crime?Having given up on the idea of taking a ferry or cargo boat, the plan was to hitch a ride to Mbala and from there cross into Tanzania and make our way overland through Western Tanzania to Kigoma. Tobi and Posted by VincitVeritas in My African Odyssey | Apr 21, 2011
- Visiting Two of the students at homeFridays are home visit day, we go and visit the students at their homes to understand more about who they are, where they come from and meet their family. It turns out it is quite a privelage to have Posted by angcoleman in A year off... | Apr 17, 2011
- Stone Town Having spent over a week on the idyllic beaches of Nungwi, the hustle and bustle on Stone Town was a change. We decided to stay in a slightly better hotel than the one in Nungwi - we even had Posted by kristian23 in From British Sugar to Bali | Apr 16, 2011
- Tanzania:Sunrise over the Serengeti and Sunset at the Crater===Today is Tony’s 37th B-day and we got up at 5:30am to celebrate!

- Tanzania:Serengeti Natl Park:If I See One More Lazy Leopard!===At around 8:30am after breakfast we met up with Abdul and were on our way.

- Tanzania: Moshi: Dermatology Near an Elusive Mountain ===We met up with Sheryl, Rebecca, and the girls after their driver Ernest picked us up.

- Tanzania: Arusha: You smell like a Fairy . . . Boat! ===We’ve been traveling for a long time now so taking a ferry boat all night was no big deal.

- Tanzania: Zanzibar: Scuba Did===We got up, checked out of our hotel and started our dive north. We had been a little concerned about navigating the windy roads but they really weren’t that bad and we couldn’t get lost because it’s an island! Posted by Tony.Ruby in Ruby and Tony - Around the World | Mar 29, 2011
- Tanzania: Zanzibar: Update Day Online—FOODIE ALERT===When you’re on the road for as long as we are and you have the opportunity to use FREE internet that actually works you sit down, order a coffee, and stop the sightseeing.

- Tanzania:Zanzibar:Spice Tour & Attack of the Killer Coconut!===Little Miss Sunshine was up bright and early today—while Tony hid under the covers.
