KataviNational Park A truly untouched wildlife paradise

One of the most pristine and rugged nature reserves in Tanzania. The enormous grass landscape with thousands of buffalo and antelopes are a true highlight. In the beautiful forests and around the lakes you find many hippos, crocodiles and birds.A special and unique safari area with a rich flora and fauna, so remote that it only receives over a thousand visitors each year.

With an area of roughly 4,471km², Katavi National Park is the third largest park in Tanzania. It is also by far one of the least visited in the country, making it a truly untouched wildlife paradise. Located in the western part of Tanzania, about 40km south of Mpanda town. Found in the shortened arm of the Great Rift Valley ending in a shallow area of Lake Rukwa. Lies east of Lake Tanganyika.

The park is primarily fed by the Katuma River which in the rainy season – April and May – transforms the park into a wetland. Lake Chada and Lake Katavi are both seasonal lakes which are situated within the park boundaries. In terms of vegetation the park hosts a varied mix of bush land, Miombo forests, riverine forests as well as grasslands.

Landscape

The characteristic feature of Katavi National Park is the Katisunga Plain, which is 425 km in size, a vast grassy plain in the heart of the park. The small rivers and swampy lakes such as Katavi and Chada support huge populations of hippos and crocodiles. When the floodplains dry up and wildlife gathers at the remaining water, the park comes to life. The hippos then gather by the hundreds for a bath in a muddy pool. Territory battles are the order of the day. A unique spectacle.

Bird Life

With over 400 species of birds, Katavi is a great place for birdwatchers. Large flocks of storks like saddle bills, openbilled and spoon bills as well as African fish eagles, Bateleurs, lilac breasted rollers, crested barbets and paradise flycatchers are but a few on the long list of birds in Katavi.

Wildlife

Home to an abundance of wildlife, including wildebeest, giraffes, elephants, zebras, African buffaloes, lions, leopards, and cheetahs. Crocodiles and hippos are frequently spotted on the banks of the Katuma River. During the dry season, hippos relax in mud-holes and cover themselves in mud sunscreen to protect their sensitive skin. Katavi is also a refuge for wild dogs, a critically endangered species.

Activities

The main activity in the park is game drives. These generally focus on the floodplains and watercourses, which tend to support the most wildlife and be free of the tsetse flies that haunt more densely wooded areas. Night drives and walking safaris are also available.

Best time to go

The best time to visit Katavi National Park is the dry season from June to October. In this period, you can see vast numbers of wildlife that congregate along the Katuma River. Enormous populations of hippo, crocodile, buffalo, elephant, and antelopes can be seen here. All of which guarantees superb predator action.

How to get There

Travellers can get to Katavi National Park by road and air. By road, Katavi National Park is quite hard to access, with travellers travelling from Dar es Salaam to Mbeya being 1513km, Dar es Salaam via Tabora 1392km, Arusha to Tabora 1015km, all of which are long distances to drive. By air, there are several domestic airlines like safari air link and Auric Air which offer charter flights from Dar es Salaam Mwanza or Arusha to either Mpanda airport or Sitalike and Ikuu airstrips inside the park.

anzibar is the semiautonomous part of Tanzania in East Africa. It is composed of the Zanzibar Archipelago in the Indian Ocean, 25–50 kilometres (16–31 mi) off the coast of the mainland, and consists of many small islands and two large ones: Unguja (the main island, referred to informally as Zanzibar) and Pemba. The capital is Zanzibar City, located on the island of Unguja. Its historic centre is Stone Town, which is a World Heritage Site.

Portuguese invasion and control of the Swahili Coast in the late 16th century ended the golden age of the archipelago, although the Omani Arabs returned to power less than a century later. Today, many of the winding streets

and high townhouses of old Stone Town remain unchanged and visitors can walk between the sultan’s palace, the House of Wonders, the Portuguese fort and gardens, the merchants’ houses, and the Turkish baths of the old city. Day-long spice tours to working plantations offer visitors the chance to observe the cultivation of cloves, vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon, and other spices that have made the island famous.

The port city of Stone Town dominates the west coast, and although the beaches of Mangapwani, where slave caves are visible at low tide and nearby Bububu are less than half an hour’s drive away, a night or two spent on the east or north cost

is well worth the extra hour it takes to drive there. That said, the Chole Island Marine Park just off Stone Town – and nearby Prison, Grave, and Snake Islands – make a refreshing day-trip and a good break from exploring the winding passageways of the old city.

On the south coast of Zanzibar lies the Menai Bay Conservation Area, a sea turtle protection area for the endangered species that come to breed on the island. Roads to the southeast coast take visitors through the Jozani Forest, home

to Zanzibar’s rare Red Colobus monkeys and a number of other primate and small antelope species.

THE ISLANDS OF ZANZIBAR

Zanzibar has many offshore islands, which provide a stunning location for a day trip or a longer stay. Boats to any of the islands off Zanzibar or Pemba can be hired easily from local fishermen. In Stone Town, ask at the ‘big tree’ opposite Mercury’s restaurant on the seafront, or arrange a day trip with one of the tour companies listed in this guide.

CHAPWANI ISLAND

A slightly more upmarket choice than Prison Island, Chapwani, or Grave island, is the site of a luxury hotel, but day visitors who come to eat and drink in the bar and restaurant are permitted. Chapwani is the site of a British naval cemetery, the final resting place of sailors who perished while serving in Zanzibar. The victims of the World War One attack on the HMS Pegasus by the German warship Konigsberg are also buried here. It’s interesting to wander around the graveyard

and decipher the ages and causes of death of the servicemen –many died from tropical disease, or were killed in skirmishes with local slavers. Chapwani also has a beautiful white sandy beach and a small population of duikers (a type of miniature antelope), as well as some interesting birdlife. Government of Zanzibar, which rules the country to this day.

BAWE ISLAND

Bawe Island has some of excellent snorkeling spots. Around a 30-minute boat ride and slightly more expensive than the boat to Prison Island, it is much less visited. In 1870, the island was used to anchor the first telegraph cables to Zanzibar linking it with Aden, South Africa and the Seychelles. A further line was run across to Stone Town, into the old Extelcoms building, now the Zanzibar Serena Inn. If complete isolation and privacy is what you are after, then Bawe Tropical Island is the perfect place to stay. There are 15 private cottages scattered along the beach front, all with breathtaking panormaic views of the ocean, and all tastefully decorated in soft colours to enhance the relaxed pace of life. The beach is excellent at low tide, with unusual stone formations, and there is some

good snorkelling to be had on the island’s reef.

PRISON ISLAND

Prison Island, also known as Changuu Island is one of the most popular destinations for day trips from Stone Town. Just a short boat ride away, the island offers excellent snorkeling, a 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 first owner, a wealthy Arab who sent unruly 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, or hit the ball around on the floodlit tennis court. Mathews’ restaurant offers excellent seafood lunches, and 4 course dinners, all overlooking the restored prison ruins.

CHUMBE ISLAND

Six kilometres south of Stone Town, surrounded by pristine coral reef, Chumbe Island Coral Park is one of the world’s most successful eco-tourism projects. In 1994 the reef surrounding Chumbe Island was named Tanzania’s first Marine National Park. The island itself, covered with lush mangrove forest, is a designated forest reserve. Visitors can come for the day to snorkel over the incredible coral reef, home to over 370 species of fish, turtles and dolphins. To experience Chumbe Island properly, stay the night in one of the seven ‘ecobandas’ that nestle in the forest. Each is a two-storey, private cottage constructed out of local materials and decorated with shells, driftwood and colourful local fabrics. Water and energy on Chumbe are self-sustaining and provided by nature - the roofs of the bandas and the education centre have been designed to catch and filter rainwater, which is then heated by solar power.

The magic of Zanzibar Island is that it is a multi-faceted destination, offering a unique blend of idyllic beaches, intriguing history, cultural diversity, tasty cuisine, exotic spices, and rich flora and fauna.

JOB! YOU GOT THE WHAT? Now

Once you’re “on the job,” there are many immediate career challenges to attend to. Experts such as Michael Watkins believe that you have 90 days in a new job to make your impact and create the permanent impression that people in the organization will have of you and your leadership capabilities.

Having worked with thousands of executives who have successfully secured new positions, in my opinion, there are five priorities that you should focus on during the first 90 days:

Establish Positive Relationships

With your new colleagues, develop good communication habits to maintain those relationships. Be honest, open, friendly, reliable and clear. Be outgoing and introduce yourself to co-workers (don’t wait for them to approach you).

Develop a Reputation

For producing tangible results for keeping commitment and for meeting deadlines. Immediately start a “success file” and track your accomplishments and contributions. Make note of

the positive feedback you get from others in conversation and in writing – from clients, managers, colleagues and vendors.

Communicate

Plans and progress to your superiors and to your team. Become known for setting challenging goals and completing projects ontime and on-budget with measurable results.

In-house Contact Network

You’ve finally landed the job. Is this a good time to settle in and take it easy for a while, or is this the worst time to take your foot off the “career gas pedal?” A lot of people in this situation might think, “Whew – now I can relax, cruise a while and rest on my laurels.” Actually, your work is just beginning –but so is your “glory”!

Begin building your own in-house contact network. Cultivate good relationships with everyone – including the employees above and below your level. Get to know people’s names. Reach out to the mail guy, the security guard, the IT guru, your manager’s executive assistant –everyone!

Healthy Balance

Maintain a healthy balance between your work life and your private life. Make sure that you don’t “go overboard” with your enthusiasm for your new job. Family time, hobbies and “recharging your batteries” are all part of your long-term professional effectiveness and success.

In summary, you must focus on garnering respect, visibility and credibility during your first 90 days on the job. The precedents you establish during this period will tend to last for your entire tenure at that organization. So, this “thumbprint period” is critically important to your long-term success!

WHOW TO SOLVE ISSUES AT YOUR OFFICE

Who You Can Turn to When You Can’t Count on HR (or Your Boss)

what might be an uncomfortable conversation. Remember, you don’t have to rely on just one ally—pick a combination of people that makes sense for you and your particular situation. People you can turn to, can be in two categories; Internal and external people.

Let’s say your relationship with your direct manager is going south, quickly. There’s zero communication or little support, and your interactions are terse at best. It’s time to turn to an inside ally. These people know the office culture—and hopefully your manager—backward and forward, so they can easily offer guidance on interpersonal issues.

to handle? It’s time to call in an expert from the outside to coach you through it. This person may not be able to sit in the meeting with you, but they have the knowledge you need and can be your cheerleaders along the way.

On The External category, you can count on the following people:

A Third-Party HR Company: While your company may not have HR onsite, they may work with a third-party vendor to help with on-boarding, benefits, and payroll. Sometimes this even includes access to HR consultants who can help you navigate tricky issues. Check your benefits paperwork for a phone number you can call or a website you can check for resources.

hen your company doesn’t have a dedicated or reliable HR team (or any HR employees at all), dealing with certain workplace issues or questions can be intimidating—especially if you don’t have the best relationship with your boss or the issue in question is with your boss. This doesn’t mean you’re completely alone. All you need are allies to help guide and empower you to make the right call.

There are several different kinds of allies you can turn to. They can help you express your frustrations, come up with a thoughtful solution, and formulate a detailed and professional plan so that you’re prepared to confidently handle

On the internal category, you can count on the following people:

`A Hiring Manager: Who else did you interview with to get your job besides your boss? Suggest meeting with them for a coffee date offsite—they’re the ones who most likely work closely with your manager and understand what makes them tick. They also probably know you and how you work, so they can tailor their responses accordingly.

A Trusted Colleague: Do you have a relationship with another manager or colleague you trust and respect? This shouldn’t be your work best friend who you vent to at happy hour, but someone you have more of a professional relationship with. Tap this person for a confidential meeting to ask for advice.

What if the issue is just too complex for your non-HR allies

A Career Coach: Why not entrust someone who’s done this before, a lot? Many career coaches and consultants will create tailored strategies, example scripts, and go through mock conversations to make sure you’re equipped to handle any difficult situations at work.

Armed with the support and guidance from your allies, it’s time to address that issue head on. Navigating workplace problems is never easy, and it’s even more difficult without HR, but by building a trusted team that can help you with various aspects of a tricky situation, you can handle just about anything.
