The presentations in this workshop were structured around for reviews basing on the availability of employment opportunities that addressed how to tackle poverty stricken situation in Tanzania.

They have also highlighted challenges and risks of

achieving high growth, which is not accompanied with the requisite transformation of the economy and widespread job creation.

During the two-day meeting, various presentations from experts and distinguished scholars from Tanzania and other countries were selected strategically for the sharing of experiences of the enterprise transformation for inclusive growth.

The workshop comes as Tanzania aspires to move to a middle-income economy in the face of daunting the economic and social challenges that face most developing countries.

CULTURAL PROGRAM

Opportunities to Embrace French Culture in Dar In the Shadow of the Sun

Filmed across a six-year period by an organization called Standing Voice, In the Shadow of the Sun is a compelling and powerful feature documentary that has brought to light the horrific social isolation and brutal mutilation of people with albinism in Tanzania.

The film follows the life journeys of two men with albinism as they pursue their dreams in the face of deep-routed prejudice and fear.

This empowering and beautifully film is an inspiring insight into the strength of the human spirit.

Standing Voice is a charity that helps people with albinisms to access their fundamental rights. Through community empowerment projects and sustainable, long-term initiatives we are saving lives and changing futures.

Painting Exhibition of “Perspective” by Stina Van Den Idsert Stina’s work is the culmination of a real journey through the life 28 I Dar Life I May 2014

and architecture that makes up the rich tapestry of Tanzania and its people. Each and every image presented here is itself suggestive of the journey, with layers and details that only become clear once the viewer has taken the time to appreciate it. Colour is a powerful tool here, and Stina’s use of the faded, washed out palette highlights the very nature of her visual take on her environment. This is Stina’s second exhibition in Dar, and not only does it show a confidence in the mixed media/photography field, but also a very real ability to produce something extremely original and diverse. She is an artist stretching herself by using different mediums, moving away from oil on this occasion to play with different effects and results.

The images create a long lasting impression, and it is a collection that will bring striking clarity to a number of views and thoughts we already hold about this fascinating country.

GREASE IS THE WORD Blast to the Past with Little Theater Club

O

by Fenella Sutton, musical directing by Michelle Seage and Annika Ericsson Kidd, arrangement

by Robert Sitgwood, and music and lyrics by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey.

Airing for three nights straight at the end of March and again at the beginning of April this year, the show kept crowds singing and dancing along. If you didn’t go see it, here is a taste of what you missed…

In the summer of 1959, cool dude Danny Zuko (Theon Nazeer) hit it off the prim and 30 I Dar Life I May 2014

proper Sandy (Josefin Rosman) at the beach.

At the end of the summer, they never thought they would see each other again. When school starts at Rydell High School, the Burger Boys, better known in the movie version as the T-Birds, (Tristan & Dylan Kassleman, Ndigwa Rootheart, David Lyatuu) and the amazing Pink Ladies (Courtenay Sutton, Sophia Rafuse, Josie Culvin & Celine Ernst) all meet up and discuss what they did over the summer holidays.

Sandy has ‘changed her plans’ and turns up at Rydell. The Pink Ladies plan a surprise for Danny by arranging a meeting between Danny & Sandy – and it all goes to pot after that! But true to the magic of musicals, all ends well and the gang will “always be together” like ramalamalama.

Delivering a classic performance fit for their new album, Six Mabone (named after the classical car of the 60’s), the group exhibited a stage mastery that was simply unrivaled.

“Speaking to ‘Dar Life,’ Vinny Magere from show coordinators Juega Casa Company said it was Mafikizolo’s first performance in the country since the release of their songs ‘Khona’ and ‘Happiness’ both of which have sparked the group’s popularity among music lovers.”

Well rounded with afro-pop, blues and swing elements, most of the group’s songs are recorded with a live band but for the Saturday performance was backed by talented DJs. The group has a long track record and currently holds South Africa’s best group of the year title as awarded by South Africa Music Awards (SAMA).

The group’s hit albums include their first self-titled Mafikizolo, Music Revolution (1999) the bestseller Gate Crashers (2000), and Sibongile (2002), which means “thank you God” in Zulu. The last album was created after a fatal car accident and subsequent death of a group member in 2001.

The group, which is among the most famous in Southern Africa, has other hit songs like ‘Ndihamba Nawe,’ ‘Ndixolele,’ ‘Sebenza,’ ‘Ndashata’ and ‘Ndizolila.

Oysterbay Farmers Market Embracing Natural & Organic Food

By Valentina Reale

O

ysterbay Farmers Market is the first farmers market born in Dar es Salaam, thanks to the will of World Food Programme and CEFA NGO to create a space where the Dar es Salaam community has the chance to meet local food producers and buy their products, including cheese, bread, fruits, vegetables, juices and more.

Local and natural are the two key words of the Oysterbay Farmers Market, where vendors and organizations from all over Tanzania (Lushoto, Njombe, Morogoro, Tanga, and Zanzibar) again gathered to sell their products and to show their projects related to food on April 26 from 10am4pm at the Oysterbay Shopping Center.

40 I Dar Life I May 2014

Born in order to push for a consciousness on products from the earth, Oysterbay Farmers Market realizes its vision through the shortened the chain between the producer and the customer, the promotion and consumption of fresh and seasonal food, the information about the Tanzanian production methods and raising awareness of nutrition for the family. New this year, Oysterbay Farmers Market included cooking demonstrations to facilitate an experience of the concept of community through food.

If, as it is said, what we eat is what we are, we invite all Dar es Salaam community members to come to the next Oysterbay Farmers Market to become better versions of themselves.

“Dar es Salaam becomes a part of that world that is discovering the goodness of sustainable food and nutrition as something that touches their lives extremely directly.

Oysterbay Farmers Market confirms this new sensibility and helps to spread this message.�

The Launch of the 2014 Dar es Salaam Charity Goat Races Just One Goat Can Make A Difference

By Karen Stanley

T

anzania’s premier fundraising event, the Annual Charity Goat Races, will take place on 7th June 2014 at the Green,

46 I Dar Life I May 2014

Kenyatta Drive on Msasani Peninsula in Dar es Salaam. “The annual family fun day has raised more than 795m Tanzanian Shillings for

more than 70 small Tanzanian charities and organisations since the races began in 2001.

The aim of the goat races is to raise money for a variety of

for 17 organisations. This year we hope to raise even more money for good causes as we head towards the billion shillings raised over the 14 years of the Goat Races. It is a testament to the support of the whole community that the Races have raised so much over the years,” Stanley explained.

A record 4,700 people came to the races last year, drawn by the opportunity to witness the extraordinary site of goats racing around a track, place a fun bet, take part in the fancy dress competitions, and sample food from a range of well-known local outlets with friends and family. The betting is an excellent way for everyone to be involved. Betting on the winning goat ensures a cash win for the punter, and betting on the losing goat ensures a cash win for the charities, so it really is a win/win situation.

“Mrs. Stanley said: “This year we will have the wonderful raffle prize, offered by SWISS International Air Lines Ltd, of two business class flights, one to Europe and one to anywhere in the world! We also have a range of prizes that can take you anywhere from Zanzibar to

the Selous and out to Fanjove Island – and back, of course - what an amazing selection.

There are also prizes to pamper you, get you fit and allow you to sample some wonderful food.”

The theme this year, The Great Goatsby, provides inspiration to everyone, big and small, to don a costume and join our fancy dress parades, with more great prizes on offer for the best outfit, hat and group.”

Children are guaranteed a great time, with a special Kids’ Area catering for all their needs, which is free to enter once you’re inside the arena. Every year there are bouncy castles, face painting, races, art activities and a kids’ fancy dress parade as well as the very popular train track.

This year’s races will be held from 12pm at The Green on Kenyatta Drive. Entry tickets cost 10,000/for adults and 5,000/- for children and will be on sale at the gate.

charities, as well as to provide the community with a unique, fun experience.”

On the sponsorship side we have had a great deal of interest from companies new to the races, coming forwards to offer their support, which again is very gratifying.

Panasonic A100 Wearable 4K Camera

We’re not sure if this is for tactical users, first-time amateurs, or lifelong diehards. Either way, the Panasonic A100 is a wearable camera that will capture everything in high-detail UltraHD glory. Instead of wearing it on a lanyard, it mounts on your face (literally, on the cheek right below the ear) using an included plastic mount. It looks positively strange and very conspicuous when worn. Then again, if you’re the type to wear a camera on your face for whatever reason, we doubt you’re really going to make that a problem.

Metawatch

Made by Fossil spinoff, Metawatch, the Meta is fashioned by renowned designer Frank Nuovo, so it gets a little extra style injection compared to the original version of the timepiece. Features are more or less standard with other smartwatches, so you can pair it with your phone to receive regular notifications. Details include a 126 x 126 LCD panel, a Texas Instruments MSP 430 microcontroller, 64Kb of memory, and a battery rated at seven days of use.

By Neema Maro DL - What inspired you to start painting?

AO: The sheer beauty of creation was my first inspiration and continues to inspire me today.

DL - How long have you been an artist?

AO: I think I’ve been an artist since the day I was born (laughing).

DL - What is your genre of painting and what mediums do you like to use?

AO: I play around with different mediums including oil, acrylic and water colors. I like oil colors the best in general. As for my genre of painting… I don’t limit myself to one. I am always experimenting.

DL - Tell us about your first exhibition?

When was it?

AO: My first exhibition was in 2011 at the dhow country music academy in Zanzibar.

DL - Do you work from life, or from photographs or from imagination?

AO: Always from imagination, from my thoughts and reflections. The idea and process is important in my expressions and only my imagination is allowed to set borders for this.

Name: Abdulla Khamis Omar Profession: Realism Artist Born: 12/12/1990 - Zanzibar

DL - What moves you most in life, either to inspire or upset you?

AO: Day to day activities that are part of our culture. The tangible unity I experience among extended family, friends and colleagues.

Regardless of your personal issues and responsibilities, there are routines embedded in the culture that you just know you have go through because its the right thing to do, the thing that is expected of you. For example, birth, wedding or death... of anyone you know, or are distantly related to... the emotional and financial support that one can expect during this time is incredible.

execution are equally important. You may have a very important subject, but if the execution is done poorly, or inappropriately, then the message may not reach the target.

DL - Do you prefer a perfect smooth technique or a more energetic expressive technique and why?

AO: I like to use both a perfect smooth technique and a more energetic expressive technique. This is due to my ability to paint from different sources including imagination, life and photography. This makes my work more dynamic and flexible in almost all aspects.

DL - Why is your work so pretty! What do you think makes it stand out?

AO: Both the subject and the painting technique play a part in distinguishing my work. I usually stop when I feel a piece is done, even if the painting is not finished. I use the subject that I feel comfortable expressing an opinion on and also common subjects that many people can relate to.

DL - What is the role of the artist in society?

AO: To act as a reflector of cultures and societies., and to be a history keeper.

DL - What is the place of your work in society?

AO: Telling the world an uncommon view of the people of East Africa. Subjects that are yet to be mainstream, but are yet oh so much a part of our lives.

Secrets of Superior Customer Service Spotlight on Singapore International Airlines

By Gregory P. Smith (Chart Your Course International) class, the experience is unforgettable. Pillows and blankets are carefully placed on every seat. Once in the air, smiling attendants offer champagne or orange juice, and carefully avoid smashing passenger’s body parts with their carts!

Passengers receive a kit containing a toothbrush, toothpaste and special socks for the trip. At the beginning and the end of each flight, passengers receive hot towels to freshen up.

Step 1: Clear Vision & Purpose. SIA’s places a priority on quality service. All issues, all questions and decisions are made as they relate to the needs of the customer. The bottom line for SIA is not the plane, the seat, or the destination. The bottom line is delivering exceptional service, and the personification of that service.

I

Step 3: Staff Training and Development.

SIA’s heavy investment in staff development and training—conducted in good times and bad—enables staff members to stay focused and continuously upgrade their performance.

Training and development fights complacency and keeps crewmembers capable of handling demanding situations. It also gives the airline a distinct advantage.

How does SIA create this experience? It places the needs of passengers first, and offers service above and beyond the ordinary. Even in economy

Step 4: Recognize, Reinforce, and Reward the Right Behavior. Excellent service is a learned behavior requiring constant reinforcement and recognition. Unless an organization develops systems and processes to reward and recognize the behavior it needs for success, it will never get it. SIA rewards excellent performance with increased pay and promotions, but reserves its most prestigious award for superior acts of customer service.

almost jumped out of my seat when the food cart bashed my knee. As I grabbed my leg, I saw the flight attendant with the “hit-and-run” cart heading down the aisle. I remember the days when flying was an enjoyable experience–no longer true today.

On this trip I was heading back to Atlanta from Los Angeles on the final leg from Singapore. The knee bashing occurred on a well-known airline once admired for good service. Only hours before, I was flying on Singapore International Airlines (SIA) and enjoying the wonderful experience.

One of the primary reasons Singapore Airlines provides superior service is because they only hire people that enjoy a service role–enjoy serving others. SIA has spent extra effort and energy in creating alignment between employees and the company employees take pride in what they do.

Step 2: First Class Treatment for All Classes. The bottom line for SIA is not the plane, the seat, or the destination. The bottom line is delivering exceptional service and personifying that service.

Customer service directs and guides SIA in all it does. Priorities and decisions are based on the needs of the customer, not executive perks. By placing the needs of passengers first, the whole atmosphere and the flight experience changes.

While the IUD is a popular method of birth control around the world, just 2 percent of American women use one. The reason: many women are afraid to use an

IUD because one older type — the Dalkon shield — posed significant health problems, including infertility, and was withdrawn from the market in 1975.

While past studies suggest that IUDs can reduce the odds of endometrial cancer, research on cervical cancer and IUDs has been mixed, the researchers said in a journal news release.

IUDs, the research showed, were associated with a lower risk of two major types of cervical cancer for up to 10 years. Women who used IUDs had a 44 percent lower risk for squamous-cell carcinoma or a 54 percent reduced risk for adenosquamous carcinoma, the study said.

The Slap - by Christos Tsiolkas

At a suburban barbecue in Melbourne, Australia, a man slaps a child who is not his own. The child has been misbehaving without any intervention from his own parents. The “slapper” is Harry, cousin of the hosts whose son is being threatened by the boy. In this remarkable novel, Christos Tsiolkas turns his unflinching and all-seeing eye onto that which connects us all: the modern family and domestic life in the twenty-first century. The Slap is told from the points of view of eight people who were present at the barbecue.

The slap and its consequences force them all to question their own families and the way they live, their expectations, beliefs and desiresIn its cleareyed and forensic dissection of the ever-growing middle class and its aspirations and fears, The Slap is also a poignant, provocative novel about the nature of commitment and happiness, compromise and truth.

Twelve Years a Slave by Solomon Northup is a memoir of a black man who was born free in New York state but kidnapped, sold into slavery and kept in bondage for 12 years in Louisiana before the American Civil War. He provides details of slave markets in Washington, DC, as well as describing at length cotton cultivation on major plantations in Louisiana. Solomon Northup (July 1808 – c. 1864–1875) was a free-born African American from Saratoga Springs, New York. He is noted for having been kidnapped in 1841 when enticed with a job offer. When he accompanied his supposed employers to Washington, DC, they drugged him and sold him into slavery.

From Washington, DC, he was transported to New Orleans where he was sold to a plantation owner from Rapides Parish, Louisiana. After 12 years in bondage, he regained his freedom in January 1853; he was one of very few to do so in such cases. Returning to his family in New York, Northup became active in abolitionism. He published an account of his experiences in Twelve Years a Slave (1853) in his first year of freedom. Solomon Northup’s memoir was reprinted several times later in the 19th century.

Spa Tips for the Mum-to-be

Perfect Way to Relieve Aches, Pains and Pressures

By John Lindsay Pregnant women’s bodies go through a multitude of changes all of which place new stresses on various body parts and organs.

So a relaxing spa day is the perfect way to relieve aches, pains and pressures. It is very important to know which treatments are safe for you and the baby and which treatments are off limits. The first and third trimester of pregnancy is when you need to most careful and it is important to inform the spa of how far along you are in your pregnancy. Don’t forget that as each body is different, consulting with your doctor about do’s and don’ts is also advised.

will help with swelling experienced during pregnancy. When booking your appointment always advise that you are expecting so a pre-natal massage specialist can be assigned to you. Certain essential oils can be harmful to the baby. Also avoid any deep tissue treatments. Please ensure that only base oil is used during your treatment. This includes grape seed oil or sweet almond oil. Your treatment should be focused on the neck and shoulder area, lower back, legs and arms. Should you experience any discomfort during your treatment, inform your therapist immediately and discontinue the treatment.

Best treatments during pregnancy

Facial: Hormonal changes during pregnancy can either leave your skin radiant looking or cause severe breakouts of acne. Not only are facials relaxing and can stimulate circulation but it also helps with sebum control. Many women experience pigmentation during pregnancy, which can be treated with a facial.

Light Massage: Full body massage is a fantastic way to soothe aching muscles due to pregnancy. Massage helps to increase circulation and lymphatic drainage, which 70 I Dar Life I May 2014

Manicures and Pedicures: With a big belly it might sometimes be difficult to do your own nails. Manicures and pedicures are perfectly safe during pregnancy and super relaxing. The pampering will not only make you feel good but will make you look amazing.

Treatments to avoid during pregnancy Heat Treatments: Saunas, steam rooms, hot tubs, whirlpools and body wraps should be avoided. Prolonged exposure to heat will significantly raise the body temperature of the mother, which can cause damage to the unborn baby. Heat treatments can cause a rise in blood pressure, nausea, dizziness and dehydration.

Chemical Treatments: Botox and facial peels that involve harsh chemicals put directly on or under the skin are definitely not a good idea. These chemicals can get absorbed into the bloodstream and may cause harm to the foetus. There are not many studies on the effects of hair dyes, perms and straightening treatments on the unborn child, although some experts suggest that it can cause premature birth or low-birth weight.

If you are not sure about these treatments, consult your obstetrician before going for the treatment.

Aromatic Treatments: Although aromatherapy can have many positive effects on the body, it is advisable to avoid any essential oils and aromatherapy especially during the first trimester of your pregnancy.

Certain essential oils can raise blood pressure, trigger contractions or even cause natural abortion of the baby. To be on the safe side, it is best to avoid any aromatherapy treatments during your pregnancy.

Expecting a baby is such a wonderful experience. The best advice is to take extra special care, pamper yourself and enjoy the moment.

HEIGHT AND ROUTES Height: Reaching a height of 5895 metres or 19340 ft, Kilimanjaro is the highest peak on the African continent and the highest free-standing mountain in the world. The other peaks of Kilimanjaro are Mawenzi (5,149 m or 16,890 ft) and Shira (3,962 m or 13,000 ft).

The roof of Africa

By Cris Samba

“M

ount Kilimanjaro is the crown of Tanzania. Rising abruptly from the open plains, capped by snow and frequently fringed by clouds, it is one of Africa’s classic images. At an elevation of 5, 895m (19,340 feet), it is the highest mountain in Africa and the highest summit in the world that can be reached by walking, without handover-hand climbing. It’s also the highest freestanding mountain in the world.”

Kilimanjaro is a dormant volcano, but not an extinct one. Ominous rumbles can sometimes be heard as gases emerge from fume holes in the crater. Although just three degrees south of the Equator, the peaks of the mountain have caps of snow and ice year around.

Kilimanjaro climbers pass from a tropical to an arctic environment in just a few days. They pass through lush rainforest before reaching 72 I Dar Life I May 2014

heather and open moorland where giant lobelia and huge, cactus-like plants grow. There is an almost lunar-like landscape on the saddle that stretches between the two peaks of Kibo and Mawenzi.

The highest point of Kibo, and indeed the whole of Africa, is Uhuru Peak, with spectacular glaciers and stupendous views of the plains, five kilometres below. Also on Kibo is the slightly lower peak of Gillman’s point. These are the goals for most climbers. The pinnacle-shaped peaks of Mawenzi are for mountaineers only.

With the help of porters and a guide, it is possible to walk all the way to the summit of Kibo without special mountaineering equipment – or experience – and Kilimanjaro can be conquered by any reasonably fit person. The whole climb normally takes five to seven days and involves four or five overnight stays in mountain huts or tents.

About Mount Kilimanjaro

Climbing Routes: There are seven climbing routes and all head to the peak from different directions. The routes vary considerably in length, difficulty and scenery. They include Marangu Route, Machame Route, Rongai Route, Shira Route, Lemosho Route, Umbwe Route and Mweka Route.

WILDLIFE

The Endless Plains of Sere Unique Wildlife Migration

By Sara Maro

Serengeti National Park is undoubtedly the best-known wildlife sanctuary in the world, unequalled for its natural beauty and scientific value. With more than two million wildebeests, half a million Thomson’s gazelle, and a quarter of a million zebra, it has the greatest concentration of plains game in Africa. The wildebeest and zebra, moreover, form the star cast of a unique spectacular annual Serengeti migration.

78 I Dar Life I May 2014

erengeti National Park T

he Serengeti National Park is a large national park in Tanzania.

Serengeti comes from the Maasai word “Siring” meaning “Endless Plain”, which really means hundreds of kilometers of flat surface land. The first understanding about Serengeti comes from its distinction of the ecosystem from the Serengeti National Park itself.

Serengeti is approximately 27,000 square kilometres.

It covers 14,763 km² (5,700 square miles) of grassland plains and savanna as well as riverine forest and woodlands.

The park lies in the north of the country, bordered to the north by the national Tanzania and Kenyan border, where it is continuous with the Maasai

Mara National Reserve. To the south-east of the park is Ngorongoro Conservation Area, to the south-west lies Maswa Game Reserve, to the western borders are Ikorongo and Grumeti Game Reserves, and finally to the northeast lies Loliondo Game Control Area.

The Serengeti National Park is absolutely huge. If you are intent on viewing the Great Migration, then where you stay is as much dependant on the time of year you are travelling as it is the style of camp or hotel you are looking for. Get the location wrong and this park is so big that you will not see the herds.

The Serengeti is, therefore, broadly divided into four

distinct areas: the central Seronera Valley, the Western Corridor, the Northern Lobo and Kogatende areas, and finally the Southern Plains.

The Center - Seronera Valley: In the heart of the national park, Seronera is a network of river valleys that ensure year-round water supplies and keep the region incredibly rich in wildlife throughout the year. Seronera has all the best features of the Serengeti and also, sadly, its worst.

Scenically, it’s a lovely area – with open plains, occasional kopjes and lines of hills to add interest. The resident game here is phenomenal, with high densities of relaxed leopards, cheetah and lion. These live off the resident herbivores, as well >>

>> as the migrating game. The migration passes through here in April/May, but Seronera is within reach of both the Southern Plains and the Western Corridor – so from about November to June, it can be used as a base to see the migration.

• Western corridor: Stretching to the west, almost to Lake Victoria, the Serengeti narrows into what’s known as the Western Corridor. The key feature of this area is the two rivers, the Grumeti and the Mbalageti, which run almost parallel, each supporting a band of moist, evergreen riparian forest. This area sustains a very good permanent game population, including plenty of zebra and wildebeest, all the predators and forest ‘specialists’ like colobus monkeys. The birdife is particularly varied. The migration passes through between about May and July – pausing to gather momentum before crossing the crocodile-rich waters of the Grumeti River, into the Grumeti Reserve.

• Northern Serengeti: The landscape is dominated by open woodlands (predominantly Commiphora) and hills, ranging from Seronera in the South, to the Mara River on the border with Kenya. Apart from the migratory wildebeest and zebra (which occur from July to August, and in November), the bushy savannah is the best place to find elephant, giraffe and dik dik.

• Serengeti plains: The endless, almost treeless grassland of the south is the most emblematic scenery of the park.

This is where the wildebeest breed, as they remain in the plains from December to May. Other hoofed animals- zebra, gazelle, impala, hartebeest, topi, buffalo, and waterbuck- also occur in huge numbers during the wet season. Kopjes are granite florations which are very common in the region, and they are great observation posts for predators, as well as a refuge for hyrax and pythons.

Serengeti Bird’s Life The Serengeti National Park is home to over 500 different species of birds include 80 I Dar Life I May 2014

>>

34 raptors, 6 vultures and aggregations of over 20,000 water birds. There are ostrich, marabou stork, lesser flamingo, African fish eagle, tawny eagle, lesser falcon (vulnerable), secretary bird, helmeted guineafowl, crowned crane, kori bustard, black-winged pratincole, black-winged plover, Caspian plover, whitewinged black tern, Fischer’s lovebird, purpuratus, southern ground hornbill, greycrested helmet shrike, Karamoja apalis (vulnerable), redthroated tit and several birds of restricted distribution such as rufoustailed weaver.

“A spectacle park giving you as a visitor the most unique

experience and adventure.

Allow at least three days to make your visit a memory of a lifetime.”

Nature & Wildlife Safari experience Tanzania’s oldest and most popular national park, also a world heritage site and recently proclaimed a 7th worldwide wonder, this land is justifiably famous for its huge concentrations of wildlife, especially when some six million hooves pound the open plains, as more than 200,000 zebra and 300,000 Thomson’s gazelle join the wildebeest’s trek for fresh grazing. Yet even when the migration is quiet, the Serengeti offers arguably

the most scintillating gameviewing in Africa: great herds of buffalo, smaller groups of elephant and giraffe, and thousands upon thousands of eland, topi, kongoni, impala and Grant’s gazelle. The spectacle of predator versus prey dominates Tanzania’s greatest park. Golden-maned lion prides feast on the abundance of plain grazers.

Solitary leopards haunt the acacia trees lining the Seronera River, while a high density of cheetahs prowls the southeastern plains. Almost uniquely, all three African jackal species occur here, alongside the spotted hyena and a host of more elusive small predators, ranging from the insectivorous May 2014 I Dar Life I 81

Migration in the Serengeti National Park The wildebeest migration, like a discernible thread, embraces and connects the Serengeti’s ecosystem much as it has done for at least two millions years. Every year, with some seasonally dictated variations in timing and scale, one million wildebeest leave the southern Serengeti’s short grass plains in search of the grass and water they need to survive.

During their annual pilgrimage they will travel some 2.000 miles devouring 4.000 tonnes of grass a day. A quarter of a million will be born, many will die.

The participants: White bearded Wildebeests, Burchells Zebras and Thompson’s Gazelles • The migration of animals consists of White Bearded Wildebeests, Burchells Zebra and Thomson’s gazelles.

82 I Dar Life I May 2014

• The migration begins by the wildebeests, gazelles and zebra’s own innate biological triggers determined to search for water and greener pastures.

• Over a million wildebeests begin their circumambulation of the Serengeti National Park and Masai Mara National Reserve. Over half a million Burchells Zebras and Thompson’s gazelles participate in the traditions of the Serengeti.

Getting there

By Plane - Scheduled and private charter flights are available from Arusha, Lake Manyara and Mwanza such as Flight link, Coastal Aviation, Safari Air and Auric Air.

By Road – you can drive from Arusha, Lake Manyara, Tarangire or Ngorongoro Crater.

Activities to Enjoy You won’t be disappointed to have a few days for safari in Serengeti National Park.

The park is ideal for a day tour, hot air balloon safaris, walking safari, picnicking, game drives, bush lunch/dinner can be arranged with hotels/ tour operators. Maasai rock

paintings and musical rocks.

Visit neighbouring Ngorongoro Crater, Olduvai Gorge, Ol Doinyo Lengai volcano and Lake Natron’s flamingos.

When to go The Serengeti is one of the very few places in Africa of which you can say the game viewing is outstanding at any time of year. We believe the very best time of year to be in the park is either from January to March which includes the spectacle of the Great Migration calving, or alternatively from the middle of July all the way to the middle of November when the herds are crossing the Mara river to or from Kenya.

Accommodation Whether a visitor decides to drive or fly to the Serengeti National Park, there is a huge range of accommodation facilities, ranging from large hotels to small luxury lodges such as Four Season, Serengeti Lodges, Sabora, Plains Tented Camp, Asanja Africa, Migration Camp, Nomad Tented Camp, Olakira Camp, Sayari Camp, Lemala Serengeti Camp, Mbalageti Lodge, Sopa, Serengeti Serena and many more.

Mountain Climbing & Hiking in Tanzania

Be one of you to smash the record

By Rahma Ally

“Hiking on the ‘rooftop of Africa’ is the adventure of a lifetime, and anyone from a seasoned trekker to a reasonably fit firsttime enthusiast can scale the snowy peak.”

Although Mt Kilimanjaro tops the list as Africa’s most famous and highest mountain, Tanzania boasts many other mountain ranges and attractive peaks.

Most of the country’s mountains and volcanoes are located in the north and east of the country. They vary from the dramatic crater of Mt Meru and the active volcano of Ol Donyo Lengai to tamer options like the Usambara Mountains and the comparatively gentle slopes of the Crater Highlands.

Hiking trips and mountain climbing in Tanzania are becoming popular options for visitors not content merely observing the country from the back of a game viewing vehicle.

Instead, adventurous types are taking advantage of the many trails and peaks Tanzania has to offer.

Mt Kilimanjaro

Above the gently rolling hills and plateau of northern Tanzania rise the snowy peaks of Mt Kilimanjaro,

its slopes and glaciers shimmering above the rising clouds. Kilimanjaro is located near the rising clouds.

Kilimanjaro is located near the town of Moshi and is a protected area, carefully regulated for climbers to enjoy without leaving a trace of their presence. The mountain’s ecosystems are as strikingly beautiful as they are varied and diverse. On the lowland slopes, much of the mountains farmland, with coffee, banana, cassava, and maize crops grown for subsistence and cash sale.

A few larger coffee farms still exist on the lower slopes, but much of the area outside the national park has been subdivided into small plots.

One inside the park, thick lowland forest covers the lower altitudes and breaks into alpine meadows once the air begins to thin. Near the peak, the landscape is

harsh and barren, with rocks and ices the predominant features above a breathtaking African view. Climbing Mt Kilimanjaro is the highlight of many visitors’ experience in Tanzania. Hiking on the ‘rooftop’ of Africa is the adventure of a lifetime, and anyone from a seasoned trekker to a reasonably fir first-time enthusiast can scale the snowy peak.

Mt Meru

The dramatic crater of Mt Meru is often neglected in favor of its famous neighbor to the east, but a visit to this spectacular mountain, located

within Arusha National Park, is an unforgettable experience.

Its lower slopes are covered in dense highland forest, where colobus monkeys play and buffalo graze concealed beneath the thick foliage. The extinct volcano’s extensive base gives way to a perfectly formed crater, and another internal crater with sharp, sheer cliffs. An ash cone forms subsidiary peak and the Momela lakes and Ngurdoto Crater are visible from the slopes of the Mountain.

morning mist. Just outside the crater’s ridge, tall Maasai herd their cattle and goats over green pastures through the highland slopes, living alongside the wildlife as they have for centuries.

Monduli Mountains

Eastern Arc Mountain Range

Crater Highlands

Rising up from the floors of the Rift Valley, the Crater Highlands form a lush chain of mountains and volcanoes that includes the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and the surrounding Maasai tribal lands. Hiking safaris take visitors from Ngorongoro Crater to the foot of Ol Donyo Lengai and offer a chance to see some of the most spectacular and stunning scenery in Tanzania.

Exploring this little-visited wilderness is the hiking adventure of a lifetime.

Within the crater rim, large herds of zebra and wildebeest graze nearby while sleeping lions laze in the sun. At dawn, the endangered black rhino return to the thick cover of the crater forests after grazing on dew-laden grass in the

is largely uncharted and for most part the area remains unexplored by trekkers and guides.

Stretching from the Taita Hills of southern Kenya to the southern highlands of Tanzania, the Eastern Arc Mountain Range has some of the oldest geological activity on the continent. Estimated to be at least 100 million years old with some formations up to 600 million years old – the relative stability of their climate means that the area hosts a surprising array of biodiversity, from plant and insect life, to spectacular bird species.

Just a few hours drive from Arusha, the Monduli Mountains make a lovely day trip or can be part of a longer hiking itinerary.

Maasai pastoralists herd their cattle along the slopes and cultural tourism programmes give visitors the opportunity to learn about traditional medicines and local Maasai culture. The surrounding views of the Rift Valley, Mt Meru and Mt Kilimanjaro are incredible.

Mount Hanang

the avid trekker searching for hiking trails off the beaten path. Home to the Pare tribe, agriculturalists and pastoralists who have largely retained their traditional way of life, a hike through the Pare Mountains takes visitors through local villages and beautiful forests and offers the chance to see a little-visited part of the country.

Udzungwa Mountains

Overlooking Lake Natron and the bush land of Kenya to the north, Ol Donyo Lengai, which means ‘the home of God’ in Maasai, is an active volcano and one of Tanzania’s most spectacular and undiscovered climbs. The volcano erupts sporadically, sending streams of grey lava down the crater rim and spitting hot ash high into the air. The climb, undertaken over night so hikers can experience sunrise over the Rift Valley escarpment, is highly challenging.

Pare Mountains

Part of the Eastern Arc range in north-eastern Tanzania, the remote Pare Mountains are extremely rewarding to

Uluguru Mountains are part of the Eastern Arc range and are named after the Luguru tribe, a matrilineal group that farms on its verdant slopes. The area has some of the oldest forest in Africa. Hiking in the area is particularly rewarding.

A plethora of endemic bird and insect species are found here.

Usambara Mountains

Located west of Dar es Salaam, the Udzungwa Mountains rise up from the western edge of the Selous Game Reserve. Vervet monkeys play high in the forest canopy, and small forest antelope can be viewed at the right time of day. Botanical diversity is exceptional, and the park is host to a large number of endangered bird species. Views from the peaks of the mountains, towards the Selous Game Reserve and the distant Indian Ocean coast, are incredible and well worth the effort. Better yet, there are no roads through the Udzungwa Mountains National Park, so hikers have the area all to themselves.

Uluguru Mountains

Overlooking the agricultural area around Morogoro, the

The Usambara Mountains are part of the Eastern Arc chain in the north-eastern part of the country. Their western and eastern ranges are divided by a 4 km wide valley of small villages and farms, and larger peaks. Day walks and overnight treks take visitors through some of the most concentrated area of biodiversity in Africa.

Bird watching is specially rewarding, and the views from the mountaintops stretch over the Maasai Steppe and, on a clear day, as far as the Indian Ocean.
