    Blog: The Travel Tart - Offbeat Tales From A Travel Addict - 31 August 2010

    One other great thing that is both refreshing and frustrating is ‘Africa time’. You could be waiting for 4 minutes, 4 hours, or 4 days (maybe 4 weeks sometimes) for a bus to leave!

  4. Safari in Tanzania

    Blog: Away We Go! - 2 June 2010

    I’ll be honest, if we hadn’t made plans with our friend Kim from NYC to rendezvous for safari in Tanzania, I’m not sure we would have made it to Tanzania at all.  After four long months of travel through the developing world, with not-always-clean hotel rooms, constantly muddy or dusty feet, and a daily mission to avoid food poisoning, we were growing weary and ready for some rest.  If not for Kim, we would probably have thrown in the towel and spent the rest of our time eating olives and drinking wine in Europe.  But I’m so glad we st

  6. Arusha/ Rwandan genocide trial

    Blog: Nilikuta Shani - 8 February 2010

    The first destination on the trip was the town of Arusha in Tanzania. Nestled at the base of Mt. Meru, Arusha is very much the gateway to the safari and game viewing circuit between the Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti. It also, incredibly, is playing host to the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, which is [...]

    Blog: No Hurry Curry - 27 October 2009

    10/3/09: Ngorongoro Reserve and Arusha, Tanzania There’s an old African proverb that says, “Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up.

  9. “Cultural Tourism:” development darling or disaster?

    Blog: Passed Ports: images and anecdotes from our travels - 3 September 2009

    August 28, 2009, Tanzania We visited an African village called Mtu Wa Mbu as part of a “cultural tourism program.”  I had read about the proliferation of such programs in Tanzania, and their alleged benefit to local communities, but I was hesitant to participate. However, I was eager to see more of rural Tanzanian life.   The whole [...]

  10. Cycling Crash in Tanzania turns Bad

    Blog: Canada's Adventure Couple - 22 March 2008

    Now let me tell you about Dave's week. He road fast, hard and had a couple of baboons follow him trying to get to his water bottles full of Fast Fuel. I think it was that particular moment that put him into 4th.
