NEWS BITS The Swahili International Tourism Expo 2015

The three-day International Tourism Expo event was held in Dar es Salaam from October 1st to 3rd and was meant to position Tanzania as a growing tourism destination while at the same time cementing regional cooperation on tourism. Credit goed to the organizers of the event, especially the Tanzania Tourism Board (TTB), for setting up not only a wonderful trade show, but going in as far as attracting a growing number of hosted buyers and exhibitors that meant business and were keen on engaging with the business community within the travel, tourism and hospitality sectors across Tanzania and the entire region. S!TE attracted 175 exhibitors who gathered at the state-of-art Mlimani City Conference Hall to exhibit and showcase the services they offer to their clients.

Rotary Dar Marathon 2015

An event that started humbly in 2009 with 700 participants, the 2015 Rotary Dar Marathon had a grand attendance of over 13,000 walkers and runners. The event raised a roaring TSH 1 Billion Shillings in cash and kind, making it the biggest collection for Rotary in Tanzania today for the cause of “Healing Lives. Transforming Communities”. The objective is to build a multi-disciplinary hospital over a five to six year timeframe in a phased manner that will provide ethical, high quality and costeffective health care services through care and compassion. To achieve the vision, Rotary Clubs in Dar es Salaam, will collaborate with a wide range of partners both local and international to address the needs of the community and to build a strong, integrated system for healthcare delivery.

Drones Keep Elephants Safe in Tanzania

Olson and his team at the conservation organization RESOLVE and the Tanzania Wildlife Research Institute have been experimenting with the ability of small drones to herd elephants out of farms and into protected areas in Tanzania. The goal is to reduce human-elephant conflict (HEC), the decade old struggle between farmers trying to grow crops and elephants scavenging for a meal. Unable to effectively discourage the elephants, farmers have begun resorting to extreme measures, including killing the animals with poisoned watermelons and arrows to save their crops. The project is being tested this month in Tarangire National Park as crops are harvested and the height of elephant raiding season begins.

Rotary Dar Marathon 2015 Healing Lives & Transforming Communities

R

otary Dar Marathon, in partnership with Bank M, moved the hearts of Dar es Salaam on the 14th of October (Nyerere Day) for the seventh year in a row.

“An event that started humbly in 2009 with 700 participants, the 2015 Rotary Dar Marathon had a grand attendance of over 13,000 walkers and runners - making it the biggest and largest marathon in Dar es Salaam.”

As a morning breeze awakened the earth, the sunrise provided a rosy glow to the atmosphere: runners, walkers, friends and family arrived as early as 5.00am to register and warm up for the Rotary Dar Marathon.

There were four routes: a 21.1KM run, a 21.1KM cycling race, a traditional 9KM and a family fun walk of 5KM. For the seventh time in a row, the guest of honor and Patron, the Past President His Excellency, Al Haji Ali Hassan Mwinyi, flagged off the 9KM and the 5KM walk at 7.00am as he subsequently

marched the 5KM walk and was awarded the oldest walker to finish in such good time.

The half marathon has become a star attraction of its own. World Record holders and past champions highlighted the 21.1KM route – runners from Kenya, Rwanda, Malawi, Uganda, South Africa, the Tanzanian Military, and the Police force ran alongside elite up-country runners and amateur runners who wanted to prove to themselves that they could do it.

Rotary Dar Marathon introduced the cycling race last year with 200 participants. This year, 300 cyclists cycled for a cause, creating a competitive edge to the event. Daniel Waistell had the best time record of 34 minutes in the men’s category and Jenny Tiberio with 47 minutes in the women’s category.

The 9KM and 5KM walks were indeed a sight to behold as people from all walks of life, sizes and ages, geared their trainers and grabbed a water bottle to walk for 22 I Dar Life I November 2015

“The event raised a roaring TSH 1 Billion Shillings in cash and kind – making it the biggest collection for Rotary in Tanzania today for the cause of “Healing Lives, Transforming Communities”.

To achieve the vision, Rotary Clubs in Dar es Salaam are collaborating with a wide range of partners both local and international to address the needs of the community and to build a strong, integrated system for health-care delivery.”

Speaking after the event, the Marathon Committee Secretary Agnes Batengas said that their initial target was to collect at least 1bn/for this year, which was reached even as still more pledges and contributions are being received.

Speaking during the event, retired president Mwinyi, who was the chief guest, said that the efforts shown by the Rotary movement and its partners in serving the community deserve recognition. He said that the event, which he himself participated in every year since 2009, has contributed significantly to the welfare of our community.

One could truly sense an amplified level of excitement and passion that was exhibited by all friends, families, schools, clubs, corporates, sponsors and volunteers.

The Rotary Dar Marathon record for 2015 for the men’s 21.1KM marathon winner was set by a Tanzanian, Emmanuel Ginmiki, who had a time of 1 hour 2 minutes and 55 seconds. The woman’s half marathon winner is Salome Nyirarukundo from Rwanda with a time of 1 hour 9 minutes and 51 seconds – making this record the best yet for the Rotary Dar Marathon in the women’s category.

Credit goes to the organizers of the event, especially the Tanzania Tourism Board (TTB) for setting up a not only a

wonderful trade show, but going as far as attracting a growing number of hosted buyers and exhibitors that meant business and were keen on engaging with the business community within the travel, tourism and hospitality sectors across Tanzania and the entire region.

“The S!TE event incorporated a Hosted Buyer and Travel Writer programme - a unique and effective programme intended to make it easy for top quality buyers

In an effort to create awareness and increase destination knowledge for hosted buyers and travel media professionals, the invited S!TE participants did a pre-tour to Zanzibar and a post-tour to Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti National Park.

Various visitors from Tanzania, Uganda, Seychelles, United States, United Kingdom, India, Russia, South Africa, Kenya, Rwanda, and Germany attended the S!TE event.

During the opening ceremony and launching of the second-ever S!TE exhibition, Vice President Mohammed Gharib Bilal said Tanzania has the best and most unique tourist attractions that can be promoted across the world.

For the past two years, Tanzania has been named one of the “Best Safari Destinations’ and one of the Top five world’s most stunningly beautiful countries to visit by

by Fox News. It was also ranked one of the best places to visit by Travel and Leisure, and was ranked among the 52 best places to visit in 2015 by the New York Times.

Meanwhile, Tanzania Tourist Board (TTB) Acting Managing Director Devota Mdachi expressed her confidence that the S!TE Expo will attract more visitors to see the country’s unique sites. She acknowledged that the number of S!TE exhibiting companies had increased from 40 last year to 110, indicating a significant move in the industry. At least 41 public and private companies sponsored the event including Ethiopian Airlines, which offered 25 international return tickets. Other sponsors included Fastjet, South African Airways, Ramada Hotels, Sopa Lodges, Fab Cars and Gibbs Farm.

S!TE plans to have an even more successful event next year, and hopes to enhance the cultural aspect of tourism even further.

S!TE also hopes to have more regional tourism organizations and associations participate.

esigner Mustafa Hassanali, a celebrated name in Tanzania, pursues fashion as a religion. His personable and affable demeanor coupled with his bohemian style has made him one of the most popular designers in Tanzania and Eastern Africa.

“

Pan African fashion designer launched his Amani collection at the Fashion for Peace event aimed at emphasizing

and educating the society about the importance of peace in our country especially during the elections.”

“Peace and unity are our nation’s strongest assets.

We as the youth need to embrace and preach the content of the Tanzanian National Anthem. It’s our sole responsibility to leave a peaceful Tanzanian legacy to the next generation. We have inherited a peaceful land from our forefathers, who worked hard for the creation of this peace-loving nation, the United Republic of Tanzania,” explained Mustafa Hassanali.

The entire world’s eyes will be on Tanzania, with multinational media channels on the ground. The Image of this great country will be beamed across the globe.

“As Tanzania’s leading fashion designer, I strongly request my fellow countrymen to wear their best attire and go to the polling station to vote. I highly recommend wearing comfortable clothes like jeans, khanga and kitenge wraps, kaftans and abayas.

Kindly refrain from wearing politically associated branded outfits to ensure tranquility during the election,” added Hassanali.

Women’s Places The Fight for Gender Equality in Tourism

By Wema Kajo

“A tour inviting holidaymakers to ‘See Tanzania Through the Eyes of its Women’ is just one of several projects aiming to get female voices heard in tourism.”

On the slopes of Mount Meru in northern Tanzania, Fatima Faraji welcomes guests to her 20-acre coffee plantation, where she harvests only the fullest cherry-red arabica berries. Hand-picked by a team of experienced women, the coffee is pulped and processed on site the same day. Fatima tells visitors the story of her 40-year management of the farm, and of the long hours of hard work. Running a business as a woman, she says, takes a strong will, a tough skin and a deep belief in yourself.

Fatima is one of several female workers I meet on a new tour from local operator Kiroyera Tours. Its 14-day trip, See Tanzania Through the Eyes of its Women, is 46 I Dar Life I November 2015

offered as an alternative to traditional tours, giving visitors the chance to see what life is like for women in Tanzania.

“Mary Kalikawe, owner of Kiroyera Tours and chair of the Association of Women in Tanzania, says: “Women have been invisible and unheard for too long, yet they are the backbone, strength and wisdom of our country. We’ve made them our focus.”

The tour was inspired by a new series of travelogues sponsored by Brighton-based operator Rickshaw Travel. The first, The World of Women: Tanzania, was written by Carin Salerno and Elisabeth Thorens, who have lived and worked in many developing countries. Frustrated that women are frequently overlooked in travel books, they aim to redress the balance and interview female entrepreneurs, artists, craftswomen and lawyers, as well as businesswomen working in tourism. The books – on countries as

Kiroyera Tours’ itinerary visits women featured in the Tanzania edition, including Asia Kimaryo, who runs the Aroma Coffee House in the safari town of Moshi, near Kilimanjaro. The coffee house employs disadvantaged girls and boys, craftswomen in the

capital city Dar es Salaam, and seaweed farmers on the eastern shores of Zanzibar’s dazzling coast.

“It’s just one example of a growing number of initiatives by companies and

amazing projects out there that empower women, from India to Sicily; we’re trying to highlight what women are doing and help them sell what they offer.”

CAREER

5 Tips for successful career planning An Activity for Job-Seekers of All Ages

By Randall S. Hansen

Here are 5 tips to help you achieve successful career planning: 1. Examine your pastimes and hobbies. In your dream job, you will be doing all the things you enjoy, and none of the things you don’t enjoy.

What kind of job would that be? Career planning provides a great opportunity to examine the activities you like doing when you’re not working. Think you can’t make a hobby into a career? People do it all the time, and are happier for it.

2. Review career and job trends. Even if jobs in your career field are decreasing, if you have excellent skills and know how to market yourself, you should be able to find a new job. It’s important to see where job growth is expected, especially in the career fields that most interest you.

Conducting this research also gives you the power to adjust and strengthen your unique 50 I Dar November 2015 42 Dar Life Life I October 2012

set of accomplishments, skills, and education that makes you stand out.

3. Set career and job goals.

A major component of career planning is setting short-term (in the coming year) and longterm (beyond a year) career and job goals. Once you initiate this process, another component of career planning becomes reviewing and adjusting those goals as your career plans progress or change - and developing new goals once you accomplish your previous goals.

4. Explore new education/ training opportunities. The world is constantly changing, and everybody is looking for new ways of doing business.

Never pass up chances to learn and grow as a person and as a worker; part of career planning is going beyond passive acceptance of training opportunities to finding new ones that will help enhance or further your skill set. Look for educational experiences within your company, your professional association, your local universities and community colleges, as well as online distance-learning programs -- and then find a way achieve them.

5. Build your network. Did you know that more than 50% of all jobs are obtained from contact networks? Spend some time building new contacts, and don’t forget to maintain the ones you already have. One of the best ways to get serious

information from your network is to regularly ask your contacts how they are, what they do, and what is new about their careers.

Don’t wait too long between career planning sessions.

Career planning can have multiple benefits, from goalsetting to career change, to a more successful life. Once you begin regularly reviewing and planning your career using the tips provided in this article, you’ll find yourself better prepared for whatever lies ahead in your career -- and in your life.

C

areer planning is not an activity that should be done once -- in high school or college -- and then left behind as we move forward in our jobs and careers. Rather, career planning is a rewarding activity that is best done on a regular basis, especially given the fact that the average worker will change careers (not jobs) multiple times over his or her lifetime.

And it’s never too soon or too late to start your career planning.

Artist of the month:

Stina Focus on: Tanzanian Art

By Brittany Karima

“The artist is nothing without the gift, but the gift is nothing without work.”

“The final product, as witnessed in Stina›s latest work, is the culmination of a real journey through the life 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. « Name: Stina van den Idsert Profession: Visual Artist Born: 1973

52 2014 54II Dar Dar Life Life II August November 2015

“I was born in Nairobi to a Kenyan mother and Dutch father. I spend my first years living in Turkana , Kisumu, Eldoret and Nairobi. We moved to the Netherlands when I was about 4. After some years my parents decided to move back to Nairobi where I attended the Dutch Primary school. After completing that I went to Hillcrest Secondary. When I was 16, my father moved to Tanzania where I attended the International School of Moshi. This is where my passion for art really blossomed and I knew I wanted to make it my career. After completing my IB diploma I went for further education to the Netherlands and attended the Gerrit Rietveld Art Academy. Soon after graduation, I moved to Oslo with my Norwegian husband. I exhibited my work in a number of galleries in Olso including the Cultural Museum of Oslo. My family has since then lived for more than a decade in Asia including Nepal, Pakistan and Bangkok, before moving to Tanzania in 2012. I have combined teaching and and arts during much of this period and held numerous exhibitions and workshops in all countries.”

Dar Life - What inspired you to start painting?

Stina - From a young age, I was surrounded by several family members that were artists. My mother is a very talented fashion designer. My grandfather was quite a successful painter and sculptor. Then there were several aunts and uncles that were professional artists. Looking at and discussing art was in a way something I was brought up with. Watching a blank canvas turn into something beautiful was magical each time.

DL - How long have you been an artist?

Stina - I think I always have been...

DL - When did you start?

Stina - I was drawing/ scribbling as long as I can remember. It›s all I did in my free time, when I wanted to relax, or just be. However it was not until I chose to take IGCSE Art and later IB Art higher level. Then I was slowly but surely going towards choosing it as my career path.

November 2015 I Dar Life I 55

DL - Tell us about your first exhibition? When was it?

Stina - It was a group exhibit of students’ work while in high school at the International School of Moshi Tanzania in 1992. My first solo exhibit was in Nepal at the Siddharta Art Gallery in Katmandu in 2003.

DL - Where do you do your work?

Stina - At home, it’s the easiest way for me to combine doing my art work with raising three children.

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

Stina - I work from my memories. And I try to recapture a moment, a feeling that I felt then.

With my latest work where I have combined photography I obviously used photographs and painting to create the final image.

56 I Dar Life I November 2015

DL - Where do you feel art is going?

Stina - Globally with the internet and using the computer as a tool. This «new» medium most definitely is effecting art today- it can be in a good way, when used as a tool, but a piece of art produced by a computer alone lacks soul.

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

Stina - I think my work is there to show and highlight the ordinary and to make the ordinary special by presenting it in a new perspective in a way. It’s about appreciating the simple things in life.

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

Stina - I think having been brought up in a multicultural home, having travelled and lived in so many different places and countries. This aspect shines through my work. All the places always have inspired me and it’s obvious I combine so many different elements of those places in my work. I think this fact makes my work different and unique.

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

Stina - Structures, especially doors and windows, portraits, stilllifes and sometimes landscapes. Like my background, I have always been interested in mixed media, using it in a way where it blends in and it almost looks like one medium. In some of my paintings I use five or six different mediums, but when people see it they often only recognize a few. I like that.

10 TIPS FOR

Business

Success

The right attitude can give you an edge over the competition

By Bob Reiss

T

hese ten attitude attributes can help put you in the right mindset for achieving entrepreneurial success:

* Have passion for your business.

Work should be fun! Your passion will help you overcome difficult moments, which you will inevitably face. Being excited about your work will also inspire others to want to work with and for you. Passion can’t be taught. When it wanes, as it surely will in difficult times, take some quiet time.

Whether it be for an hour or a week, retreat from the daily grind and evaluate all the reasons you started the business and why you like being your own boss. That should renew your passion. * Set an example of trustworthiness.

Individual leadership traits matter – employees and business partners will put their confidence in you and will be motivated to work hard for you in a culture of integrity. Customers will also be drawn to you if they feel they can trust you.

BUSINESS * Be flexible, except with core values. It’s a given that your plans and strategies will change as time goes on. This flexibility and capacity to adapt to dynamic business environments is an inherent advantage of small over large businesses.

However, no matter how strong the pressure for immediate profits is, do not compromise on core values. If you do, you will risk doing much more serious longterm damage to your business. * Don’t let fear of failure hold you back. Failure is inevitable, and is an invaluable opportunity to learn. All things being equal, venture capitalists would rather invest money in an individual who tried and failed to found a company than in someone who never tried.

What’s important to the success of small-business owners and entrepreneurs? Knowledge, skill and talent of course. However, many competitors have the same traits you do. How can you get an edge, especially when working with limited resources? As in most endeavours, from sports to the arts to politics, the key to beating the competition and achieving success in business lies in the mind. While your mental outlook depends on a variety of complex factors, the good news is that ultimately, controlling your attitude is totally within your power and completely independent of cash inflow.

* Make timely decisions. Detailed planning and thought are good, but constant procrastination can lead to missed opportunities in business when time-sensitive decisions must be made.

Trust your instincts and don’t be afraid to use your intuition. * Remember YOU are the major company asset. Take care of yourself.

Your health is more valuable than the most expensive machinery or computer software for the company. You don’t have to choose between your family and your company, or between play and work. Balance is key.

Maintaining your health and keeping your energy levels up will enhance your mental outlook and your job performance. * Keep your ego under control. Don’t take profits and spend them on expensive toys to impress others. Instead use any extra funds to build up a savings for when unexpected needs and opportunities come along. Keeping your ego in check also means being open to listen to and seriously consider others’ ideas and suggestions, no matter how crazy they may sound. * Encourage and accept criticism graciously. Admit your mistakes. You need to constantly work on convincing your employees that it’s OK — even necessary —for them to state their honest opinions even it if conflicts with your opinion as the boss. Just stating it once or putting it in a mission statement won’t cut it for most people. * Maintain a strong work ethic. Your employees will follow your lead as they are challenged to step up. Consistently working hard will also help you beat your competition by outworking them, particularly when your product or service is very similar.

58 I Dar Life I November 2015

* Have faith. It sounds simple, but ultimately if you believe in yourself and believe in your company, you will be successful. Your confidence will spread to your employees, customers, stakeholders, suppliers and everyone you deal with.

Starting and running a successful business can be both rewarding and challenging. Success requires focus, discipline and perseverance, as well as a long-term focus. Above all, maintaining a positive attitude will set you apart from your competitors and inspire those you work with to bring you success you never dreamed was possible.

Make sure you put your best and most gorgeous face and sandaled foot forward this summer by using these tips to beautify and protect your radiant skin during the warmer months.

Sunscreen and hats – Protect your skin against the harsh summer rays by wearing a sunscreen with a SPF factor of no less than 20. When you go out into the sun, reapply sunscreen regularly and always wear a hat. This will prevent the formation of pigmentation.

Feet require special care in the summer. Keep nails short to enjoy summer sports

By Anzelle Johnson activities. Exfoliate feet regularly, and don’t lighten up on rich, emollient foot creams, because there are parts of the feet that do not contain oil glands. If you visit the beach, take a long walk there. No manmade treatment is equal to the exfoliating power of feet pounding against sand.

If you walk long enough, your feet will sport a Hydrate – Ensure you drink plenty of water during the hot months, especially if you are going to be active. If you start drinking water after you feel thirsty, it may be too late, because you have already become slightly dehydrated. Always try to carry a bottle of water around with you.

Lip care – Cold sores are more likely to occur when the UV rays from the sun trigger them.

Wear a lip balm with a sun factor. Chapped lips

may be annoying, but burned lips can be very painful! Reapply often and even more so if you are outdoors.

Be spot free – Summer is the time that you want your skin too look healthy and fresh, but many people suffering from oily skin might end up with a spotty complexion. Increased sweat, humidity and the application of sunscreen can block pores, promoting the formation of bacteria build-up.

Make sure to clean your skin with a balancing cleanser and apply a cleansing or repair mask twice a week.

Watch your scent – Certain perfumes, especially those containing citrus notes, are photosensitive and can cause pigmentation on the skin if they are exposed to sunlight. To ensure that you don’t end up with dark spots, avoid wearing any fragrances outside in the sun.

Remove hair wisely – Shave, wax or use your depilatory at least 24 hours before you head into the sun. All three removal methods can leave the skin mildly irritated, making it more susceptible to burning and stinging if exposed to the sun. To avoid ingrown hairs, apply an anti-septic lotion to the area of concern. Diluted tea tree oil works amazingly!

moisturised during the summer, even if your skin feels oily. More sebum is a sign that your skin could be dehydrated. It can be tempting to skip moisturising in the summer, because of the excess oils that can accumulate on skin. To circumvent this problem, use a lotion instead of a crème, because it will contain more water and less oil.

For more information, please contact the Anantara Spa at +255 764 701 234 Ext. 828 or at spa. thekilimajaro@hyatt.com

Exfoliate – Exfoliating your skin is very important in the summer. Skin cells are shed at a very quick rate every day. If you do not get rid of the dead cells sitting on top of your skin, they can cause it to look dull and dry. Exfoliating two or three times a week (those with sensitive skin may want to start out slowly) will help your summer skin maintain its beautiful radiance and ensure an even tan.

Skin brushing – One of the best ways to eliminate the appearance of cellulite is by regular skin brushing. Not only will this practice remove all dead skin cells, but if done regularly it will help to increase circulation and lymphatic drainage in the areas of concern. Daily skin brushing removes toxic waste, which causes cellulite. After one week of brushing, you will notice that your skin has a

The Magic World of N Equestrian History in Tanzania

By Nicole Walter

“

Tanzania typically conjures images of Maasai territory, the Serengeti and wildlife.

Few people are aware of the existence of the pure Arabian horse in the precursor plains of the northern safari circuit. However, the presence of these horses is important to the future of horses in the country, as the current situation is dire.�

66 I Dar Life I November 2015

f Noble Horses

“

Not much fresh blood has been brought into Tanzania since the 19th century. There is a general problem of inbreeding,” says Carlos Da Silva, a horsemanship expert investing in the country and its people through the creation of a home for pure Arabian and thoroughbred horses on Arusha University’s Campus.

The relevance of Carlos Da Silva´s project, Chuo Cha Farasi, must be seen in the context of the fascinating story of the horse in Africa, and particularly in Tanzania. The English thoroughbred horse first set hoof onto the continent around 300 years ago. The first imports were recorded in South Africa, as colonial forces took a liking to racing and using the horses for transport and in battle.

November 2015 I Dar Life I 67

But far from being new on the continent, the thoroughbred horse was, in a way, actually returning home. Interestingly enough, the equine of the British Isles gained its nobility through Arabian bloodlines from the Middle East and North Africa. Three pure Arabian stallions were brought to England back in the 17th and 18th centuries for crossbreeding.

“

Incidentally, pure blood originates in the deserts of Arabia but North Africa has its own Arabian blood, the Barb, also enhancing thoroughbred bloodlines. However it was the thoroughbred rather than the Arabian horse that spread into East Africa. Kenya followed South Africa, and by 1903 the first horse race took place in Nairobi. The thoroughbred was also used for hunting until the advent of four wheel vehicles and sought after by the German army, in what was then Tanganyika.”

One may well wonder why Arab horses didn’t dominate the scene here, considering the large presence of Arab merchants starting hundreds 68 I Dar Life I November 2015

of years earlier, including Ibn Battuta in the 14th century.

It is hard to imagine the Sultanate of Oman once ruling Zanzibar for several decades in the 19th century without its beloved Arabians. However, there are only sketchy evidences of horses at the time on the island. A peek at the history books reveals why.

There were indeed Arabians in Africa as early as 1,500 BC, but they only got as far south as Ethiopia. Across the Rift Valley, in Tse Tse fly territory, horses and Sudanese camels faced a pretty certain death from sleeping sickness. This threat remains real for any horse living in Africa today.

The Brumby, a good-willed strong horse, is the perfect example. The Australian government gifted its Tanzanian counterpart’s army hundreds of Brumbies for fieldwork because of its qualities. However, arriving unbroken they stayed wild and the majority succumbed to illnesses.

As a tribute to this breed, some managed to develop resistance to indigenous diseases and still roam areas around Arusha and coastal regions. However, modern medicine suggests there is no reason why horses shouldn’t thrive here today, as long as they are regularly vaccinated against all threats.

Proof is the pure Arabian thriving in admittedly less disease-ridden South Africa.

First imported in 1820, there are now over 10,000 Arabians in the country. Tanzania has the

potential to set a similar pace in East Africa, Carlos Da Silva reckons.

As a horse whisperer, Da Silva learned his craft back in the famous Spanish Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art. Since 2005 he has been sharing it here with local adolescents, who used to scrap a living on the streets.

One of them was Isaac Lazaro, who quickly discovered his love and understanding for how the horse’s mind ticks. The stories of the lives of men and horses being turned around plays itself out at Chuo Cha Farasi Tanzania

Among other activities, it is a licensed school to train horses and riders in the art of performing in harmony.

As Carlos puts it, “We like to think of ourselves as an embassy of equestrian art in Tanzania.” Watching horses literally dancing to the rhythm of music – live guitar evenings included – is a magical moment that experienced riders can’t resist. They bring their horses and join in.

“

and inherently affectionate animal. Once trust and respect has been developed they will follow their owner, or rather friend, freely. It is a delight to see this animal galloping towards a person, rearing its front legs coming to a halt centimetres away, nudging gently to say hello. T

The Arabian horse is known to be particularly sensitive in this respect. The Bedouin often shared tents with this hotblooded yet communicative

The beauty and intelligence of the Arabian, as well as its endurance in unforgiving deserts, have been admired for centuries. And today these same qualities allow the Arabian to adapt to the wilderness at Chuo Cha Farasi home and continue with history

A happy horse performs willingly.

It is about speaking the animal’s language, not using the whip. Horses show emotions, they cry, and equally react to a person’s energy,” explains Isaac.

inducing fresh blood into other breeds. Even the company’s location itself is steeped in history.

Based at the Arusha University Campus, by Momela road, is flanked by Mt. Kilimanjaro on one side and Arusha National Park and Mt. Meru on the other side.

Nowadays peaceful plans develop at the horse ranch. It has already produced and sold its fair share of thoroughbred foals. Ngongongare Garden, home of Chuo Cha Farasi, is on the route to Mt. Meru, so the team will take clients out on hourly horse riding, or on overnight camp trips in the wilderness.

Now it is preparing to mix the line of the English thoroughbred’s stallions and the pure Arabian mares. The ranch has some goodies in the fridge – the semen (DNA) of a Calbar stallion – and hopes to cooperate with the government and private owners to solve the general problem of inbreeding in Tanzania. “We are happy to share our breeding experience, as well as the Arabian genes with others,” Carlos Da Silva confirms.

Equestrian clinics take place in Tanzania with private horseowners eager to fine-tune their riding and care taking skills. Others check in difficult horses at the ranch for some rehab ‘a la 70 I Dar Life I November 2015

horse whisperer’. Cooperation with government administration horses, such as at Chuo Cha Polizi, is also on the menu.

Currently, there are around 500 purebred horses plus 300 horses of other breeds living in the Arusha region alone.

An impetus for breeding with fresh blood could easily double the numbers in Tanzania. Quality horses can become more than just a source of enjoyment for a few – they can also contribute to the economic development of the country.”

Tanzanian youth may well dream of an alternative profession, horsemanship, and assist their country in becoming an exporter of an animal loved for centuries.

BOOK REVIEWS

Coffee break Join Dar Life reviews editor for the pick of the books with an East African flavour

By A Novel Idea Seven Wonders: The World Heritage Sites of Tanzania - by Louise Hoole This beautiful coffee table book about Tanzania will make a valued addition to any book collection and a beautiful gift. Tanzania has seven World Heritage Sites, more than virtually any country in Africa. Four of its sites have entered the global imagination to become some of the most legendary places on our planet: Mount Kilimanjaro, Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater & Zanzibar’s Stone Town. The remaining three sites are, on the contrary, little known outside the country and rarely visited by those within it. Mention that you are travelling to the Selous Game Reserve, or the rock art sites of Kondoa, or the ruins of Kilwa Kisiwani and you’re likely to receive little more than a quizzical look. Yet the fact that these places are so little known is bizarre when one considers that they are – in order – the earth’s largest game reserve, a unique prehistoric rock art collection, and East Africa’s most important medieval city… not just part of Tanzania’s or Africa’s heritage, therefore, but truly part of a global heritage. This gorgeously photographed book celebrates Tanzania’s stunning world heritage sites, examining both their fragile present and precarious future.

The Mountain Shadow - by Gregory David Roberts Shantaram introduced millions of readers to a cast of unforgettable characters through Lin, an Australian fugitive, working as a passport forger for a branch of the Bombay mafia. In The Mountain Shadow, the long awaited sequel, Lin must find his way in a Bombay run by a different generation of mafia dons, playing by a different set of rules. It has been two years since the events in Shantaram, and since Lin lost two people he had come to love: his father figure, Khaderbhai, and his soul mate, Karla, married to a handsome Indian media tycoon. Lin returns from a smuggling trip to a city that seems to have changed too much, too soon. Many of his old friends are long gone, the new mafia leadership has become entangled in increasingly violent and dangerous intrigues, and a fabled holy man challenges everything that Lin thought he’d learned about love and life. But Lin can’t leave the Island City: Karla, and a fatal promise, won’t let him go.

Rogue Lawyer - by John Grisham Sebastian Rudd is not your typical street lawyer. He works out of a customized bulletproof van, complete with Wi-Fi, a bar, a small fridge, fine leather chairs, a hidden gun compartment, and a heavily armed driver. He has no firm, no partners, no associates, and only one employee, his driver, who’s also his bodyguard, law clerk, confidant, and golf caddy. He lives alone in a small but extremely safe penthouse apartment, and his primary piece of furniture is a vintage pool table.

He drinks small-batch bourbon and carries a gun. Sebastian defends people other lawyers won’t go near: a drug-addled, tattooed kid rumored to be in a satanic cult, who is accused of molesting and murdering two little girls; a vicious crime lord on death row; a homeowner arrested for shooting at a SWAT team that mistakenly invaded his house. Why these clients? Because he believes everyone is entitled to a fair trial, even if he, Sebastian, has to cheat to secure one. He hates injustice, doesn’t like insurance companies, banks, or big corporations; he distrusts all levels of government and laughs at the justice system’s notions of ethical behavior.

Sebastian Rudd is one of John Grisham’s most colorful, outrageous, and vividly drawn characters yet. Gritty, witty, and impossible to put down, Rogue Lawyer showcases the master of the legal thriller at his very best.

Serengeti Voted Africa’s Best Safari Park in Africa Experts & Tourists Sing its Praises

By Tanapa Correspondent

SafariBookings.com, an online marketplace for African safaris, set out to put to rest the question of which park is best for African safaris. Serengeti National Park in Tanzania came out on top, which was no surprise to safari enthusiasts. The study reports, after analyzing 3,008 reviews by both safari travelers and top experts in the field, that Serengeti was the clear winner.

A total of 2,234 reviews were contributed by safari tourists from 63 countries. The remaining 774 park reviews were written by renowned experts, including guidebook authors associated with Lonely Planet, Rough Guides, Frommer’s, Bradt and Footprint.

“The study revealed the Serengeti received an overall rating of 4.91 out of 5 stars. This was the highest score amongst all parks, and thus 78 I Dar Life I November 2015

the Serengeti was crowned Africa’s Best Safari Park.”

To add weight to this outcome, safari tourists who visited multiple parks rated the Serengeti an astonishing 16% higher than any other park. The industry experts also rated Serengeti highest. Their reviews tend to be more critical, as they can compare Serengeti to a host of parks they’ve visited in various countries.

Regardless, Serengeti came out on top, justifying its first place ranking all the more.

When asked why Serengeti is such a desired safari destination, several repetitive themes emerged: the annual Great Migration (hosting over 2.5 million wildebeest and zebra), top wildlife viewing year-round and endless grass plains that feel like authentic Africa.

Also contributing to the choice was Serengeti’s distinction as one of the best places to see predators like lions, and thousands of wildebeest as they cross crocodile infested rivers. In addition, visits to the park can be easily combined with other top-class parks in Tanzania.

A study of more than 3,000 reviews from safari adventurists and industry experts from Lonely Planet, Rough Guides and other guidebooks all agree: Serengeti National Park in Tanzania is the best in all of Africa.

Swahili Coast The Wealth of Africa

Swahili means ‘coastal’ in Arabic and the Swahili Coast refers to Tanzania’s coastline and island with history, natural beauty, art and culture.

I

n the ninth or tenth centuries came Shirazi Persians from modern day Iran, sailing their ancient dhows across the Indian Ocean. Chinese, Japanese, Russian and Indonesian merchants and pirates, trades and adventures all arrived over the centuries during which the Swahili Coast was the centre of a thriving commercial civilization, with its own language, economy and artistic traditions.

Ancient Greek manuscripts show that the east coast of Africa was visited by sailing vessels in classical times. They referred to the coast as Azania, hence the name

Tanzania (Tan –Tanganyika; Zan Zanzibar; and Azania).

Today, reminders of the Swahili Coast’s and down the length of Tanzania. The brassbound chests and heavy wooden doors of the Swahili Empire are found far island, imported originally by the Arabic slave traders who led caravans into the interior in search of fortune. On the coast itself, crumbling mosques nestle among palm trees by white beaches and Persian baths lie ruined in the remains of ancient villas.

BAGAMOYO

Bagamoyo was once the centre of slave and ivory trading. It was the last point reached by the caravans of slaves who arrived here for transportation to faraway places. Today this attractive coastal town still bears reminders of its past-

slaves were kept while waiting for transportation still stands, as does the tree under which they were bought and sold.

KILWA

Kilwa Kisiwani Island was once the trading centre of the Swahili Empire. The runs of the settlement still remain and are considered to be one of the most important Swahili historical sites in East African. The famous traveller and chronicler lbn Battuta visited Kilwa in the 14th century, describing his admiration for the architecture and graceful situation of the capital city. Later the island became a trading post for slaves travelling north from Mauritius and Mozambique. The end of the town supremacy as a trading port came when it was ransacked, ostensibly by “cannibals” in 1588.

MAFIA ISLAND from the Ma-Africa tribe from ancient Yemen who dominated the coast Island is the largest of an island archipelago, off beaten track and known to only the most discerning travellers. The island is surrounded by a barrier reef so rich in marine life it has been designed a marine park by the World Wide Fund for Nature. A tiny population of pygmy hippo lives in the remains of an old lagoon, cut off from the mainland centuries.

PEMBA

Pemba Island rumoured to have once been inhabited by race of mythical glands, is an untouched beauty that offers an undiluted experience of island life in the Indian Ocean. The tiny number of visitors to Pemba every year

means that the island has little in the way of tourist infrastructure which for alternative travellers is the main attraction. Small guesthouses are dotted around the island, and there are couple of upmarket diving hotels and resorts, There are many historical sites and ruins to explore on Pemba including a number of old mosques and tombs and the old town fort of Chake Chake. The Pujini ruins south-east of Chake chake are the remnants th century.

There is also Ngezi Forest, a beautiful untouched rainforest and home to the Pemba Flying Fox, a giant bat!

TANGA AND PANGANI

Ruins close to the active port of Tanga attest to its importance as a trading post in the Swahili trading empire.

The ruins, once a large mosque, include more than 40 tombs, Tanga has pleasant beaches and is a convenient point from which to visit the spectacular Usambara Mountains. Just south of Tanga is Pangani, once the home of Arab slave traders, set on a lovely estuary of the Panani River.

ZANZIBAR (UNGUJA ISLAND)

For a small island in the southern waters of the Indian Ocean, Zanzibar has a long and unexpected history.

For centuries the island has been a centre of slave and Ivory trade, if not all trading, from central Africa to the rest of the world and was the world’s main producer of the highly valued clove spice. It is also the centre of Swahili language and culture.

Zanzibar is the undisputed capital of the Swahili Coast.

The Portuguese were ousted with the help of Oman, in the mid-16th Century, whose vast trade connections had been severed by the entrance of the Portuguese.

Just a short boat ride away, the island offers, excellent snorkelling nature trail, small beach and the unusual attraction of a sanctuary for giant tortoises, Despite its name, the closest the island has come to actually being used as a prison was by its slaves there for discipline. In 2006, many of the islands old buildings were restored, and Changuu Private Island Paradise was opened, offering 15 deluxe cottages all on the seafront, affording maximum seclusion and privacy. There are also 12 standard rooms in the old quarantine area, with fantastic views back across to Stone Town. If swimming and snorkelling in the crystal blue waters gets too much, have a paddle in the freshwater swimming pool, court Mathews restaurant offers excellent seafood lunches and 4 course dinners, all overlooking the restored prison ruins.
