Celebrating Beaujolais A Celebration of Delectable French Wine

By Michel Lanfrey

“

Beaujolais nouveau is a true artisan wine experience, a Gamay that has a red dress and fruit flavor.

Its main qualities reside in the exuberance of its youth and its fragrance and delicacy, which are obtained by picking the grapes at a specific time of maturity. Only experienced winemakers can choose this key moment.”

F

ollowing the French tradition to celebrate that very young wine, third week of November this year on Friday 23rd November at La Terrace Restaurant of the Slipway there was an event to mark this with some 600 guests in attendance.

26 I Dar Life I December 2017

Like last year Chef Jean Claude Cleret had come from La Reunion to prepare and present the special cold cuts, fromages, saucissons, a Pate en croute prepared locally by the Chef and his assistant for this event.

Ashray, and other delicacies

in a elegant way and really beautifully arranged overall with 2 separate buffets , one for the cold cuts and pates and one near the pool for the cheese; it is always difficult to taste all the varieties that had been specially imported from France on this special occasion. As usual you can’t

eat cold cuts without French baguette of bread and as per tradition from Epi d’Or. The Beaujolais Nouveau was offered at the entrance surrounded by the SWISS hostesses in full red garments of course, and the wine in itself had a fruity aroma and

has been much appreciated.

Once the Beaujolais Nouveau was finished entered the ballroom the famous Barton & Guestier offered by Red & White a traditional sponsor too of this unavoidable event; and the bottles were not enough.

The venue of The Terrace was amazingly bright, with a glowing swimming pool and we are puzzled no one ended in it actually. The service and organization, the boss of The Terrace, Ian, the waiters and waitresses were seriously busy making things work and compliment to all of them.

Croze Hermitage.”

“

Finally and just for information The Beaujolais Nouveau is definitely meant for enjoyment free of formalism but we don’t only meet to “gobble” and all money remaining from the purchases and logistics of the Beaujolais event will be given into charity and mainly to an orphanage as per past years.”

28 I Dar Life I December 2017

A big Bravo to the Beaujolais Committee that has become so professional that even a good friend from Nairobi was saying to us we could “export the TZ format” of the event cause ours is really High class and quality.

The Committee is very proud of the outcome and due for a good part thanks again to Maurel & Prom, Bollore Transport & Logistics; ORYX Energies, Renault & CMC Formula;

Multicultural Night Traditional Music & Contemporary Dance Bring Eclectic Music To Dar Es Salaam

By John Kinga Alliance Français hosted over 400 people for the Barazani Concert. The highlight of the night was a performance

by DDC Mlimani Park Orchestra, which is one of the greatest Tanzanian dance bands in history along with traditional music by Wamwiduka Band, contemporary dance performance by Isack Abeneko and Happiness Majige and a great performance by Fatuma binti Baraka, self-proclaimed ‘queen of Taarab and Unyago music’.

The DDC Mlimani Park Orchestra performance was amazing; living up to its reputation of being one of the greatest Tanzanian dance bands of all time. The group was first formed in 1978 and they embody the sound of independence, as the founding members came from the pre-independence groups such as Dar es Salaam Jazz Band and the workers union band Ottu Jazz Band, who are still active on the scene.

Among the other artists that rocked the stage at the concert was Wamwiduka Band, a Tanzanian traditional music band formed in Mbeya region southern highlands of Tanzania in 2012.

The line-up of Wamwiduka Band is Brown Isaya (Writer, lead vocals), Adriano Wilson (lead guitar), Zakaria Michael (drums, 30 I Dar Life I December 2017

vocals) and Peter Mashaka (bass guitar). The origin of the word Wamwiduka is from Safwa tribe from Mbeya region which means ‘wadukani’. The rhythm of this traditional music played by Wamwiduka band is known as Babatoni. This rhythm of music is based on Safwa tribe language.

The meaning of the word Babatoni is coming from the sound base of drums they beat.

“

The contemporary dance performance by Isack Abeneko and Happiness Majige was one of the highlight of the night. This is a piece working on progress, which started by Isack Abeneko and Happiness Majige by researching on the motivation, artistic direction, music and life of the two great Tanzanian legends who are Bi Kidude and Remmy Ongala. This duet dance production starting their artistic journey by departure from life and amazing music that these two legends left behind.”

Fatuma binti Baraka known as

Bi Kidude, was a Zanzibari-born TanzanianTaarab singer. She has been called the “queen of Taarab and Unyago music” and was inspired by Siti binti Saad. Born in the village of Mfagimaringo, Bi Kidude was the daughter of a coconut seller in colonial Zanzibar.

It is incredible when you look into the life and music of Ramadhani Mtoro Ongala Mungamba, aka “Dr Remmy.” The involvement and contribution on social advancement and the heavy message that carried on his music and how wonderful he is when come to live performance.

“

Barazani is a bi-monthly arts platform and showcase established by Alliance Française of Dar es Salaam in 2008. Barazani aims to open up opportunities for the East African artists to have space and facilities to show their talents in the fields of music, dance, acrobatics, film and video, painting, sculpture, fashion and poetry.”

The event also facilitates lowcost, quality entertainment for various communities in Tanzania and fosters interactions between Tanzanian artists and groups from the various corners of the art scene, mixing upcoming and established artists.

T

he Dar Choral Society mainly performs classical music in Tanzania, sharing and promoting our love of music by making it a bridge between all countries and religions.

Originally founded in the 1940s by the European community in Dar es Salaam, the Dar Choral Society was revived in 2009 to become a diverse choir including many Tanzanian performers.

With its long heritage of over 70 years of performance in Tanzania, the Choir is showing all the signs of becoming a welldisciplined modern choir ushering in a new era of classical music in Tanzania.

“

The Dar Choral Society held a classical music at the Julius Nyerere International Convention Centre (JNICC) on November 26th 2017. This concert marks the eleventh time that the choir has performed with an orchestra and is one of the major concerts that the Dar Choral Society hosts three times a year, generally in May and November.”

A poetic genius set to music of one of Italy's most celebrated composer, Giussepe Verdi thrilled and delighted audience senses with his Messa de Requiem with the thundering famous theme of Beethoven's 5th symphony. The group continued their tradition of excellence as young and energetic Hekima Raymond (Tanzania) conducted a whole choir and full orchestra of talented professional and amateur musicians.

The Orchestra managed by the choir is made up of members of the expatriate December 2017 Dar Life I 35

community, Tanzanians and diplomats serving the Tanzanian nation in various disciplines, hence its nickname – the ‘Choir of the World in Dar’.

“

The long-term goal of the Dar Choral Society is to combine the beauty of music using choral works and orchestra. It aims at promoting classical music to Tanzanians through concerts and recordings of music in multiple languages, including Kiswahili.”

The group holds their rehearsals on Wednesdays and Fridays from 6:30-8:00 PM at Lady Chesham Nursery School.

Special thanks to Ramada Resort Hotel, Harmonic Biosphere, Precision Airways, Swiss airline International, A1 Outdoor for sponsoring the Choral Society’s most recent concert.

The Society also aims to educate the public in the “art and science” of music through their concert series, enabling people of all ages to participate in this high quality cultural activity. Their objectives also include developing the Tanzanian arts infrastructure and providing meaningful experiences through engagement with music.

Artisan Market

Showcasing Tanzania’s Finest Handmade Art & Craft

By Ashley Collins

O

n 18th November 2017, Oyster Bay Shopping Centre hosted the biannual Artisan Market for the 17th time. The Centre has supported this popular market for 11 years and continues to attract large numbers of customers and vendors.

The co-founder, Sona Shah, remarked on the initiative’s

44 I Dar Life I December 2017

founding, “This market has its roots in friends getting together and creating a unique experience for the vendors and the community alike, and is a completely not for profit, volunteer-run project.”

One of the organizers, Dyan Larmey, explained, local artisans apply to sell their products at the event. The organizers limit

vendors especially to artisans who are involved in production and generally have high quality standards. However, a few emerging artisans are selected for each market and strategically placed alongside more experienced artisans in an effort to be inclusive and encourage artisans to further specialize and improve their products.

The Artisan Market stimulates Tanzanian commerce and creativity as a competitive and bustling atmosphere that allows vendors to make large profits and gain invaluable exposure to shoppers from all over Dar es Salaam. Shah explained, “We have vendors from Dar es Salaam, Zanzibar, Mtwara, Iringa, Mbeya and several other places from all over Tanzania. With our reputation growing further afield, people from Kenya and Uganda are expressing an interest to attend.” Vendors are carefully selected from a thorough application process based on quality, type of product, and location in order to support national commerce. Most of the vendors are Tanzanians.”

“This to k do w excit we cr

December 2017 Dar Life I 45

The emphasis in these collectives is not only to make a profit to fund charitable works, but to train and empower people to live more independently, stable, and fulfilling. The Artisan Market is thus, a great place to support sustainable human development, while also doing some affordable shopping for unique handmade products. In the words of one vendor, “This is a hopeful place, it gives us hope to keep doing what we do when we see people excited about the things we create. I hope to keep coming back to sell my products.”

As the market expands each year, the field grows more competitive, and standards leap higher than before. This creates diversity of products and drives toward higher quality, both in terms of customer expectation and artisan workmanship.

46 I Dar Life I December 2017

The opportunity for artisans to exhibit their products on a scale of this size has undoubtedly led to the growth of Tanzanian businesses, which are now able to test their mettle on an international level. But there is also a deeper purpose

accomplished by the Artisan Market: Dar Life warmly congratulates the organizers and the vendors.

T

he December birthstones are all in shades of blue to reflect the winter months and to help the wearer fight the winter blues. For those of us in Dar-es-salaam where December is one of our hottest months, maybe this blue stone will bring a little coolness to your life and serenity in the new year to come.

Whether you are born in December or not, Tanzanite is a wonderful choice for a gift during this holiday season.

If you live in Tanzania, we wear this gemstone with such pride to show off our unique contribution to the gem world.

If you are visiting, this is one of the most amazing mementoes you can bring home with you, something precious you can pass down for generations to come.

58 I Dar Life I December 2017

We at Paragon are passionate about Tanzanite and other gemstones found locally including Tsavorite, Spinel, Moonstone. Paragon is the newest endeavor of a group of companies who have been in the business of gemstones in general and Tanzanites in particular for over 30 years.

We have the privilege of bringing the first gemstone museum to East Africa.”

Tanzanite has become one of the symbols of Tanzania as it is found and mined only here, at Merelani in the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro. This beautiful gemstone, whose mineral name is zoisite, is found in many different colors including various shades of

pink, green, brown and yellow.

Most Tanzanite are heated briefly to give the iconic blue purple that it is famous for, although the process doesn’t change the quality and depth of color of the gemstone.

At our showroom located in Masaki in Dar-es-Salaam, you can visit our new museum to see some samples of local gemstones and minerals found around Tanzania and to watch videos to learn more about Tanzanite’s and the mines located at Merelani. Inside the showroom, you can browse loose cut gemstones and Tanzanite jewellery, as well as other colored gemstones set in both gold and silver to suit every budget and taste.

Our staff is happy to show you around and share our pride in all these beautiful things.

One of the official birthstones of December is the Tanzanite.

Along with turquoise and zircon, Tanzanite is considered of special significance for those born during this month of festivities.�

If you are in Dar-es-salaam, do visit us on Chole road in Masaki for a tour of our showroom and museum. We are very excited that Dar Life Magazine has given us this opportunity to tell you about ourselves and to share our love of all things Tanzanite with you. Happy Holidays!�

Tips For Holiday Home Safety Intelligence & Care by Sali International Hospital

By Sali International Hospital Correspondent

A

s you’re lighting and decorating up your home this season, keep an eye out for these common holiday trip-ups or fire Hazards.

Merry and Bright: Carefully inspect holiday light strings each year and discard any with frayed cords, cracked lamp holders, or loose connections. When replacing bulbs, unplug the light string and be sure to match voltage and wattage to the original bulb.

Lights Out: Always turn off holiday lights when you leave the house unattended or when going to bed.

“Dar es Salaam – Sali International Hospital continues to express optimism in meeting the healthcare needs of the Tanzanian people. One of the leading regional corporate hospitals in Dar-es-salaam. The best place for health care. It has emerged as a preferred destination for quality medical treatment attracting patients worldwide with the best & skilled Medical & Surgical Experts and focused its efforts towards being the preferred healthcare destination for all overseas patients seeking medical treatment of global standard. “

Fresh Is Best: Try to purchase a freshly cut tree, as they are more resistant to ignition. Keep your Christmas tree watered and away from open candles.

One and Done: Never connect more than one extension cord together; instead use a single cord that is long enough to reach the outlet without stretching, but not so long that it can get easily tangled.

Keep the Gas Behind Glass: Do not use your gas fireplace if the glass panel is removed, cracked, or broken, and only allow a qualified service person to replace fireplace parts.

Filter-Friendly Furnace: To help prevent CO hazards in your home, have a qualified heating contractor perform a yearly maintenance check of your furnace and venting system, and clean or replace your furnace filter frequently during the heating seasons.

Clean the Clutter: Do not store combustible materials such as gasoline, propane, paper, chemicals, paint, rags, and cleaning products near your gas furnace. Gasoline or propane cylinders should be stored outside the home.

T

anzania witnessed a star-studded Miss Universe Tanzania event on 28th October 2017, where Lillian Ericah was selected as the brand-new Miss Universe Tanzania 2017. She succeeds Jihan Dimack as Miss Universe Tanzania.

The competition was heightened by colourful and exciting performances all aimed at guiding the 10 beautiful contestants from three regions in Tanzania: Dar es Salaam, Mwanza and Mbeya, to the victory line.

“Along with the crown, Lillian took home TSH 3,000,000/-.

After winning the title, “I am happy and extremely delighted to win such big title, it’s just like a dream come true.” said Lilian Ericaah Maraule.

Lillian Ericah will be representing Tanzania at the 65th edition of the upcoming Miss Universe beauty pageant coronation gala which is scheduled to be held on December 2017 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Miss Universe Tanzania was instituted in 2007. The first winner Flaviana Matata created a stir in Miss Universe 2007. Apart from being one of the most talked about contestants in the pageant due to her bald look and fit presence, she also made it to Top 10 in the finals. In fact she finished 6th in the finals.

Miss Tanzania 2011 Nelly Kamwelu created a record by representing her country at Miss Universe, Miss Earth, Miss International and Miss Tourism Queen International in the same year.

Miss Universe Tanzania has become the epitome of not only a glamorous event but also one that creates innumerable opportunities for aspiring Tanzanian girls to represent their country.

Dar Life would like to congratulate Lillian Ericah as well as the entire organizing team and extend our best wishes for the upcoming Miss Universe World.

The Tiger’s Prey – by Wilbur Smith

The Malabar coast is full of dangers: greedy tradesmen, fearless pirates, and men full of vengeance. But for a Courtney, the greatest danger might just be his own family. Francis Courtney flees the comfort of his Devonshire estate when his stepfather’s gambling debts leave him penniless and at risk. He sails to South Africa with revenge and fortune on his mind: his uncle Tom Courtney killed his father, and Francis intends to avenge his death and make his fortune in the process. However, upon his arrival in Cape Town, he uncovers a truth that leaves him overwhelmed and disoriented. Christopher Courtney sets out to make his own way in the world, giving up his privileged position as the son of the Governor of Bombay. The perils and betrayals on his journey carve a fierce warrior out of him, but they also harden his soul and lead him to greater violence and treachery. As the lives of these two Courtney men intertwine, the sins of the fathers will forever alter the lives of a younger generation. The Tiger’s Prey takes readers on an epic journey from the southernmost point of Africa, through the perilous waters of the Arabian Sea, to the lush Indian coastline. It is an incredible and breathless tale of intrigue and family betrayal from one of the world’s greatest storytellers.

A Column of Fire – by Ken Follet The saga that has enthralled the millions of readers of The Pillars of the Earth and World Without End now continues with Ken Follett’s magnificent, gripping A Column of Fire. Christmas 1558, and young Ned Willard returns home to Kingsbridge to find his world has changed. The ancient stones of Kingsbridge Cathedral look down on a city torn by religious hatred. Europe is in turmoil as high principles clash bloodily with friendship, loyalty and love, and Ned soon finds himself on the opposite side from the girl he longs to marry, Margery Fitzgerald. Then Elizabeth Tudor becomes queen and all of Europe turns against England. The shrewd, determined young monarch sets up the country’s first secret service to give her early warning of assassination plots, rebellions and invasion plans. Elizabeth knows that alluring, headstrong Mary Queen of Scots lies in wait in Paris. Part of a brutally ambitious French family, Mary has been proclaimed the rightful ruler of England, with her own supporters scheming to get rid of the new queen. Over a turbulent halfcentury, the love between Ned and Margery seems doomed, as extremism sparks violence from Edinburgh to Geneva. With Elizabeth clinging precariously to her throne and her principles, protected by a small, dedicated group of resourceful spies and courageous secret agents, it becomes clear that the real enemies – then as now – are not the rival religions.

How to Build A Car – by Adrian Newey

The world’s foremost designer in Formula One, Adrian Newey OBE is arguably one of Britain’s greatest engineers and this is his fascinating, powerful memoir. How to Build a Car explores the story of Adrian’s unrivalled 35-year career in Formula One through the prism of the cars he has designed, the drivers he has worked alongside and the races in which he’s been involved. A true engineering genius, even in adolescence Adrian’s thoughts naturally emerged in shape and form – he began sketching his own car designs at the age of 12 and took a welding course in his school summer holidays. Adrian has designed for the likes of Mario Andretti, Nigel Mansell, Alain Prost, Damon Hill, David Coulthard, Mika Hakkinen, Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel, always with a shark-like purity of purpose: to make the car go faster. And while his career has been marked by unbelievable triumphs, there have also been deep tragedies; most notably Ayrton Senna’s death during his time at Williams in 1994. Beautifully illustrated with never-before-seen drawings, How to Build a Car encapsulates, through Adrian’s remarkable life story, precisely what makes Formula One so thrilling – its potential for the total synchronicity of man and machine, the perfect combination of style, efficiency and speed.

Safari photo tips A Tanzanian Safari is an incredible experience that for many will be an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity both to experience incredible scenery and wildlife and to make some amazing photographs.

This article presents my tips for Tanzanian safaris, and to some extent for other types of expeditionary photography. The discussion inevitably mixes bits of opinion in with the facts. This isn’t an analytical laboratory review, but rather a guide based on my field experience. I have no financial ties or connections to any of the vendors mentioned here; I’m just a customer like anybody else.

By Hoclay Aterio Mganga

The safari day

Let’s begin with some logistical details about how safaris work. The basic structure of the day on safari is pretty similar in all parts of Africa. You wake up before sunrise: 4:45 to 5:30 AM, depending on the season and location.

Usually coffee and a light breakfast are available. Before dawn, you set out in a safari vehicle for a game drive that typically lasts until 11:00 AM or Noon, at which point you return to camp. Lunch or brunch is then followed by time to rest during the heat of the day. Tea and snacks are available in the afternoon, usually from 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM.

Vehicles and camera support

The single most important piece of gear for your Tanzanian photo safari is the support for your camera and telephoto lenses while taking pictures. It sounds prosaic compared to choosing lenses and cameras, I know, but the fact is that without good camera support nothing else can work properly. Normally you might use a tripod for supporting your camera, but in Tanzania almost all of the photos will be taken from inside a vehicle.

Storage

Photo storage can be a big issue while on safari but it is no different than most travel situations. Odds are you won’t have an Internet connection for most of your trip (although this is changing constantly) so your storage solution needs to travel with you. There are a few ways to handle this: Multiple Cards An External Storage Device A Laptop Computer

Lens selection

One bit of advice that hasn’t changed much from with the switch from film cameras to digital is that of lens selection. Most animals you’ll spot on safari will be at a distance, especially if you’re lucky enough to experience a chase on the open savannah. Your main choices here are between a telephoto zoom and prime lens.

Prime lenses are those with a fixed focal length. Those lenses will get you close to the action and have the added advantage of a larger f/stop than their zoom counter parts. This means more light can make it to your sensor and thus, you can use a lower ISO with less grain. You can also choose a faster

shutter speed to stop fast moving cats or hippos (yes, hippos can move very fast).

If you do choose a prime lens, you may want to bring a secondary camera. I know this isn’t always possible, but changing that lens out on the savannah, with all the dust from 4x4s and animals swirling in the air, can quickly dirty your sensor. Plus, when that ‘friendly’ big cat comes walking close to your vehicle, you’ll be zoomed in too far with the prime lens.

If your choice is to go with a telephoto zoom lens, pick something that starts at least 100mm. The 70- 200mm lenses that are popular with the wedding shooting crowd are fine and will work, but if there is an opportunity to go longer, do it. A 100-400mm lens would be ideal for this type of trip.

And don’t forget to factor in the advantage during a safari of owning a cropped sensor camera. Those cameras with a 1.4x or 1.6x crop factor effectively give you more zoom for the dollar. Your 70-200mm lens is now a 112mm-320mm lens with a 1.6x crop factor camera body attached. This will make a big difference when out of the plains and the animals are far off.

Camera Bodies

The first and most important rule of thumb in choosing camera bodies for your safari is this: bring at least two (and three is better). A Tanzania trip is very expensive, and if your only camera conks out, your trip will be ruined, at least from a photographic perspective.

If budget is a limitation, I think you’d be better off with two cheaper cameras than

I use flash surprisingly frequently on safari; both fill flash during harsh lighting conditions and full flash for night shots.

Nikon and Canon flash units work very well, in general.

one expensive one.

Having two bodies gives you protection against accidents—and also a way to combat dust. It can be incredibly dusty in Tanzania, and you really don’t want to change lenses under those conditions. In my trips, each photographer has brought along two or three bodies. One is attached to a long lens (typically a 600mm f/4), and another to a medium long zoom lens (such as a 100-400 or an 80-400). The third body gets a wide-angle lens for scenery and landscape shots. With that set up, you never need to change lenses in the middle of a game drive.

Another photographer used 1Ds and 5D bodies, and the third used Nikon D2X and D2Xs bodies. It was interesting to see how well the Nikon D2X stacked up to the Canons. Although I am a big fan of the full-frame sensor on 1Ds and 1Ds Mark II, the fact is that the 1.5X multiplier was a big advantage for the Nikon shooter among us, because most of the time we were shooting telephoto subjects. So, his 600mm f/4 became the equivalent of a 900mm f/4. His 80-400 VR f/4.5-5.6 zoom became an effective 120- 600mm lens, which is ideal for most game drive scenarios.

Of course, if you are into shooting wide angle shots, this feature might become a disadvantage. However, the regions we visited offered few wide vistas,

and when they did appear we had ample time to do a rare lens change to accommodate them.

The other big advantage of the Nikon D2X is its high-speed mode. The highspeed crop feature allowed the Nikon shooter to get shots that the two of us shooting on Canons simply could not get. Yes, the high speed is nice, but the mode’s real advantage is its large buffer size. The three to four frames per second capability of the Canon 1Ds and 1Ds Mark II was more than adequate, and we Canon shooters did not really covet the Nikon’s speed. However, once the Canons’ small buffers (10 shots for 1Ds in raw mode, a bit more for 1Ds Mark II) are full, they crawl along at a truly pathetic speed. It is frustrating watching fantastic action play out while your camera flashes BUSY just as you want to press the shutter. The Nikon high-speed-mode photos are smaller, so more of them fit in the buffer. In fact, the most frequent cause of buffer frustration is not high-speed shooting. Instead, it comes when you get interesting action over an extended period of time. For example, we recently watched lions feed on a buffalo carcass. The action was not all that fast, but it was continuous, so we took one frame every second or so as the lions interacted with each other (they do not have very polite table manners).

Frame rate was not a problem, but after a few minutes of this the buffer would get full.

I generally use RAW + Small JPEG mode, so that I can review the JPEG files very easily. Indeed, for this purpose I wish that the camera had a “very small JPEG” mode that was perhaps 1200 x 800, a size optimized for review on a laptop or attachment to email. The “small” mode is about four times too large for either of these purposes. But to work around the buffer-size limitation, I generally turn off JPEG creation altogether.

I should emphasize that the high frame rate was only rarely an advantage— perhaps once every day or two.

However, when you are photographing leopards mating, or lions hunting Cape buffalo or some other rare and fastmoving behavior, it would be very nice to shoot both fast and with a big buffer.

I use the “Better Beamer” telephoto flash extenders, but hate them, to be honest. They are flimsy and tend to fall apart in a stiff wind, or whenever I really need to use them. They also droop and misalign themselves, sending the light from your flash into the twilight zone.

On top of these flaws, they demand extra care for fill flash use. If you point the outfit up in the sky inadvertently, the sun will be focused by the Fresnel lens and can burn a hole in something. Many of my flash units have melted spots on them as a result. So does the back of my left hand!

I use the Canon macro flash unit for macro photography. Frankly it is hard to justify the cost and weight of this unit for the few shots I take with it, but I bring it anyway.

Let your operator and driver know your intent

Communication will be the key to any successful safari, and this starts before you send a single penny to your potential tour operator. Ask a lot of questions before and tell them your intent for photography. Let them know if you’re just on the trip for some sightseeing or if you’re very serious about bringing back a frame worthy cheetah shot. But be warned that the person on the other end of the line (or email) may not pass on your requests to your guide.

Conclusion

Preparing for what is often a once in a lifetime photographic safari to Africa can seem like a daunting task. I certainly had a lot of worries when I started planning my trip. But I’m hoping this advice will help steer you in the right direction and take away some of the unknown about planning such a trip.

While there is a world of advice that can be handed down for taking awardwinning photographs of the animals you’ll see, that’s best left for another article!

anzania has a long history of human habitation stretching back to our most distant ancestors. The so-called ‘bantu migrations’, occurring between 3,000 and 5,000 years ago, brought agriculture and pastoral knowledge to the area as competing groups spread over the country in search of fertile soil and plentiful grazing for their herds.

European missionaries and explorers mapped the interior of the country by following well-worn caravan routes, including Burton and Speke who in 1857 journeyed to find the source of the Nile.

Traditional ways of life remained largely intact until the arrival of German colonizers in the late 19thth century.

On the Swahili Coast, Indian Ocean trade began

“The Islands of Kilwa Kisiwani and the nearby ruins of Songo Mnara are among the most important remnants of Swahili Civilization on the East African Coast”. as early as 400BCE between Greece and Azania, as the area was commonly known. Around the 4thth century AD, coastal towns and trading settlements attracted bantu-speaking peoples from the African hinterland. They settled around mercantile areas and often facilitated trading with the Arabs and Persians, who bartered for slaves, gold, ivory, and spices, sailing north with the monsoon wind.

“On the Swahili Coast, Indian Ocean Trade began as early as 400 BCE between Greece and Azania, as the area was commonly known.”

Between the 13thth and 15thth centuries, the settlements of Kilwa Kisiwani and the Zanzibar Archipelago reached their peak, with a highly cosmopolitan population of Indian, Arab and African merchants trading in luxury goods that reached as far as China. The completion of Portuguese domination in 1525 meant that trade, for a short time, was lessened, but rival Omani Arab influences soon took control of the caravan routes and regained complete control of the islands, even going so far as to make Zanzibar the capital of Oman in the 1840’s.

In the late 19thth century, British influence in the Zanzibar Archipelago, in contrast to German influence on the Tanzanian mainland, slowly suppressed the slave trade and brought the area under the influence of the Empire. Local rebellions in German East Africa, most notably the Maji Maji rebellion from 1905 to 1907, slowly weakened the colonizer’s grip on the nation and at the end of the First World War Germany ceded Tanganyika to English administration.

Under the leadership of Julius Nyerere of TANU, popularly referred to as Mwalimu or ‘teacher’

Tanganyika achieved full independence in 1962.

Meanwhile, a violent revolution in Zanzibar ousted the Omani sultancy and established a oneparty state under the Afro-Shirazi party in 1963.

A year later, the United Republic of Tanzania was formed, unifying the Tanganyika mainland with the semi-autonomous islands of the Zanzibar Archipelago, and merging TANU and the ASP to form CCM, Chama cha Mapinduzi, the Party of the Revolution which rules Tanzania to the present day.

Engaruka

Mysterious ruins of complex irrigation systems span the area around Engaruka, the remnants of a highly developed but unknown society that inhabited the area at least 500 years ago – and then vanished without a trace.

important remnants of Swahili civilization on the East African coast. The area became the centre point of Swahili civilization in the 13th century, when it controlled the gold trade with Sofala, a distant settlement in Mozambique. After a brief decline under the rule of the Portuguese, Kilwa once again became a centre of Swahili trade in the 18th century, when slaves were shipped from its port to the islands of Comoros, Mauritius and Reunion.

in Tendaguru, including the spicies Brachiosaurus brancai, the largest discovered dinosaur in the world.

Mikindani

The port town of Lindi, in southeastern Tanzania, was the final stop for slave caravans from Lake Nyasa during the heyday of the Zanzibari sultans.

In 1909, a team of German paleontologists unearthed the remains of several dinosaur bones 94 I Dar Life I December 2017

Another central port in the Swahili coast’s network of Indian Ocean trade, in the 15th century Mikindani’s reach extended as far as the African hinterlands of the Congo and Zambia.

The area became a centre of German colonial administration in the 1880s and was a chief exporter of sisal, coconuts, and slaves.
