If their boss, the DPEDVVDGRU ÂżQGV RXW KRZ FORVH WKH\ DUH WR ruining the embassy’s reputation forever, they will be in a whole lot of very hot water. It takes a farrago of lies, a complete disregard for political correctness, a dash of blackmail, and a dollop of peanut butter to avert disaster and keep the ambassador in blissful oblivion.

or the eighth consecutive year, the annual Swahili Fashion Week & Awards took place at Hotel Sea Cliff from the 4th to 6th December 2015 in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. The three day event saw some of Africa’s biggest designers converge in Dar es Salaam to witness and take part in what has become East and Central Africa’s biggest fashion spectacle. Designers from South Africa, Nigeria, Rwanda, Kenya, Ethiopia, USA and host Tanzania all took part in the event, which was marked with sheer fashion brilliance as the runway was lit ablaze with spectacular designs. Swahili Fashion Week 2015 brought together 27 designers from within Tanzania and beyond to showcase their collections, predicting trends for the East African market for 2016.

Swahili Fashion week aims to reach out to the public to emphasize and promote talents in the fashion industry. It is about valuing our own designers and building brands and taking them to a different level year in and year out. February 2016 I Dar Life I 41

This was the eighth edition of the event. During the three days, all big players in the Tanzanian fashion industry were in attendance to be wowed by some of the very best local and foreign designers. In addition to the presentations, Swahili Fashion Week Shopping Festival, which was incorporated in 2010, once again brought more than 30 exhibitors under one roof, thus making it the largest shopping festival in the country.

The event ended on a high note as the Founder of SFW, Mustafa Hassanali, thanked those who were in attendance and everyone who took part in making Swahili Fashion Week 2015 a success.

We urge the public to support the design industry and proudly wear MADE IN AFRICA, especially Tanzania. The local talents need to be nurtured to evolve them into globally recognized brand names. Charity begins at home, thus we look forward to support from local companies and organizations to facilitate the trade of the business of fashion,� stated Honest Nyamai, the Fashion Week Manager.

ARTIST OF THE MONTH:

4Z 9LNPUH 4MV` By Wema Kajo

“Art

is a means

of expression. There is only one

valuable thing in art – the thing which you cannot explain.”

T

anzania is rich with artists of all caliber, ranging from those tingatinga artists we’ve all become acquainted with, to more mainstream artists. They all represent different aspects of Tanzania, with their individual views, backgrounds and beliefs. Dar Life caught up with the newly emerging artist Ms. Regina Mfoy, who is taking a more active and vocal approach to showing her work.

48 I Dar Life I February 2016

Focus on: Tanzanian Artist

Name: Ms. Regina Mfoy Profession: Visual Artist DL - What inspired you to start painting? RM: I was inspired by looking at other artists’ work, but even in my childhood I was always very keen when it came to drawing. DL - How long have you been an artist? RM: I have been painting seriously for about seven years now, though I started engaging in basic art at a young age. When I was in primary school, I started by drawing small pictures such as birds and tables, though at the time I didn’t take it seriously. DL - Wow, seems your work has been extensive. Have you done anything that sticks out? RM: Well, I believe so. Most of my work is shown here in Tanzania. I also did an exchange program for female artists in the United States. While I was there, I managed to get some contacts and many friends who are helping me to display my work in galleries there. Some of my paintings, especially wildlife ones, have brought in some money, mostly in Tanzania. DL - What is your genre of painting and what mediums do you like to use? RM: I do realistic and abstract paintings, depending on the mood of the day. I prefer acrylic, but occasionally I go for oil. February 2016 I Dar Life I 49

DL - What is the role of the artist in society? RM: The artist should be like a mirror for the society. They should be a role model or an activist, bringing changes by using their brushes and pencils. DL - What is the place of your work in society? RM: I just want to be a good example and remember by using my artwork they will learn something. DL - What technique do you use? Which is more important to you, the subject of your painting, or the way it is executed? RM: I use all kinds of techniques, depending on what my aim is, but in general I prefer energetic, expressive techniques. To me, the subject matters more in getting society to notice something.

DL - Where do you do your work? RM: I normally work with other artists at the studio in the Arusha Declaration Museum. However because I have another permanent job, I do a lot of my work at home whenever I have time. DL - Do you work from life, or from photographs or from imagination? RM: All of the above. I can assure you, frankly speaking, any true artist will work from all of the above, interweaving them at times, depending on the circumstances. DL - What moves you most in life, either to inspire or upset you? RM: What inspires me most is seeing the artwork of my fellow artists. When I see it, I feel like I should go straight to the studio and start painting and come up with a new piece. DL - Where do you feel art is going? RM: Though it still is a rough road, it seems there is a green light regarding the future of art. We are moving ahead and we will keep doing so. 50 I Dar Life I February 2016

DL - Why is your work so pretty? What do you think makes it stand out? RM: Mmhh... People might see my work as very pretty, but I just see as another piece of art. And I believe that what makes my work stand out is the combination of my hard work and talent.

Here, wildlife is not about quantity, but about quality

84 I Dar Life I February 2016

Mkomazi lies south of the arid Sahel zone and shares a large stretch of border with Tsavo National Park in Kenya. Although its name derives from the Pare tribe’s word for ‘scoop of water’, the park serves as a grazing zone for mammals from dryer adjacent areas. All residential flora and fauna are remarkably well adapted to drought. Characteristic for this are the many mighty baobabs, while half of the plant species are endemic.

The number of mammals isn’t as high as in the more famous parks – particularly in the dry season the plains are too arid for big herds of grazers – yet the variety is remarkable. Elephants feel equally at home here as in the bordering Tsavo. Together with other migratory species, such as zebra, giraffe, hartebeest, kongoni, buffalo and eland, you can spot them all over the park. Mkomazi will undoubtedly treat you to a truly special sighting of rare wildlife species. It is the only area in Tanzania where spotting generuk, oryx and lesser kudu, is just a matter of a little patience. What’s more, Mkomazi is a refuge for the endangered black rhino and wild dog. Two conservation projects are booking promising results: the Mkomazi Rhino Sanctuary – that resulted in successful breeding – and the Wild Dog Capture and Translocation Programme that successfully released a few dozen dogs into the wild in the last decade.

Mkomazi will undoubtedly treat you to a truly special sighting of rare wildlife species The treasure hunt continues with spectacular avifauna. Apart from the usual suspects in northern Tanzania, you could encounter species that are hardly to be found anywhere else. So keep an eye out for Friedmann’s lark, the violet wood-hoopoe, Somali long-billed crombec and Shelley’s starling. The cobalt-chested vulturine guineafowl and large ground birds such as ostrich, secretary bird and kori bustard are also typical residents. When you spot a hyrax don’t forget to look up: a colossal verreaux’s eagle might be circling above your head, eagerly awaiting his chance to strike…. • Mkomazi began as a game reserve in 1951. • Conservation work plays an important role: in 1989 the Tony Fitzjohn/George Adamson African Wildlife Preservation Trust (TFJGAWPT) was established. Conservation was further intensified by TANAPA when Mkomazi became a National Park in 2008. • It covers 3,276 km2 and stretches 130 km from northwest to southeast. • Height: 230-760 m, plus several mountains in the west: Maji Kununua (1,594 m, Kinondo 1,620 m).

• Dry season: mid-May – October, wet season: November – midMay (least rainy in January – February, heaviest rains in April). Mkomazi is the least rainy National Park of Tanzania. • Average temperature: 22-26 °C (daytime: 28-36 °C daytime, occasionally up to 40 °C, night-time: 17-18 °C, occasionally 10 °C). • Best time to visit: All year round. • The park is easily accessible by road and by air. • By road: 202 km/3 hours from Arusha town (195 km on a good tarmac road, last 7 km on a rough road). • By air: several safari companies organise private flights from Arusha.

Mkomazi is a refuge for the endangered black rhino and wild dog Accommodation Inside the park: One tented camp, public and special campsites (booking for the latter through TANAPA). Outside the park: several accommodation facility at the town of Same.

What to do Game drives, guided walking safari, photography and bird watching.

Pack lightweight, washable clothes plus a sweater for early morning game drives, as well as a sun hat, sunglasses and sunscreen. Long sleeves and trousers in light-coloured fabrics help discourage insect bites. Shorts for women are acceptable. Women should carry a wrap to cover legs in the villages and towns as revealing clothes can cause offence, especially in Zanzibar and Muslim areas. On the beach and within the confines of beach hotels normal swimwear is acceptable. If you have plans to climb Kilimanjaro or Meru, bring thermal underwear, light layers, a sweater, rain jacket, proper socks and sturdy boots.

Self-drive vehicles are available mainly for local errands or tarmac use. 4x4 vehicles for safaris usually have to be hired with a driver.

On safari Distances in Tanzania are vast and travel by road can be wearing. Plan to spend more time in fewer parks. You’ll see more and won’t return home exhausted. Keep your distance from animals and be quiet to avoid distressing the wildlife. Follow instructions of rangers or guides. Don’t leave your vehicle in the parks except in designated places. Keep to recognised tracks to avoid damaging vegetation.

Photography Protect your camera from dust and keep equipment and film cool. It is courteous to ask permission before photographing local people. If you intend to take a lot of people pictures, please bring an instant printer with you so that you can leave a picture with the people you photograph.

Cuissine Local and international cuissine are served in hotels and lodges.

Driving People drive on the left side of the road. An international licence is required. Plan long safaris carefully, ensuring your vehicle is road worthy. Please bring two spare tyres, an operational jack and tool kit. Carry extra fuel, spares and water.

Travel with children Tanzanians love children and are especially helpful to mothers. However, canned baby food, powdered milk and disposable nappies may not be available outside major towns.

Visas Check current requirements with the nearest Tanzanian High Commission, embassy or consulate, or your travel agent.

Security Tanzania is a generally safe country, but do use common sense. Keep an eye on your belongings. Don’t walk in the towns or cities at night – take a taxi instead. Don’t carry cameras or large amounts of cash and beware of pickpockets. Use hotel safety deposit boxes to safeguard valuables and obtain a receipt. Leave valuable jewellery at home.

Entry points Insurance Take out travel insurance to cover loss of baggage or valuables, personal accident and medical expenses.

Tipping Tipping is not obligatory, but a tip for exceptional service.
