The presentation of the course is highly unique, with each hole blending effortlessly into the natural canvas of the terrain. Indigenous plants, native grasses and trees add to the individuality of the landscape, providing golfers with a oncein-a-lifetime experience. The greens are large, with subtle changes in elevation as the location demands. Bunkers have been strategically placed to allow golfers a fair route to the fairways and greens. The clubhouse itself sits slightly raised above fairway and green levels. At the nearby driving range, players can enjoy the spectacular view of Mt Kilimanjaro whilst practising their shots.

ISSA (IATA Safety Standard Assessment) is IATA’s internationally recognized and accepted evaluation system designed to assess the operational management and control systems of airlines operating smaller aircraft not eligible for the larger IOSA program.

SAUDIA’s direct flights to Tanzania are targeting tourism and trade between Tanzania and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This is expected to boost tourism and travel links, banking on the rich cultural, religious, historical heritage, and wildlife resources between the 2 countries. Saudi Arabia’s rich heritage has been attracting travellers from Tanzania and the rest of Africa, mostly pilgrims to the Kingdom’s Holy Sites in Mecca and Medina.

The Treasure of Africa

In the ninth or tenth centuries came Shirazi Persians from modernday Iran, sailing their ancient dhows across the Indian Ocean. Chinese, Japanese, Russian and Indonesian merchants and pirates, traders and adventurers, all arrived over the centuries during which the Swahili coast was the centre of a thriving commercial civilisation, with its own language, economy and artistic traditions. Today, reminders of the

ahili oast s magnificent post can be found up and down the length of Tanzania. The brassbound chests and heavy wooden doors of the Swahili Empire are found on a 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 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 ruins 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 ancient Yemen who dominated the coast around 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 designated 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, rumored to have once been inhabited by a race of mythical giants, 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 a 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 of a fortified to n built around the 13th 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.

he first uropeans to encounter this vast trading network and culture around Zanzibar were the Portuguese, who arrived in the late 15th Century. The

Portuguese were ousted with the help of Oman, in the mid16th Century, whose vast trade connections had been severed by the entrance of the Portuguese.

Zanzibar became the seat of the Omani empire, when Sultan Seyyid Said moved his capital from Muscat to Zanzibar in 1840, due largely to its economic importance in the empire and unrest at home. This was to last only 50 years until the British, keen on expanding their colonial reach, declared Zanzibar a British Protectorate. This, in turn, was to last until 1963, when the British handed power back to the Sultan in a constitutional monarchy which was itself overthrown in early 1964 in a violent revolution which established the Revolutionary Government of Zanzibar, which rules the country to this day.

CULTURAL TOURISM

In Tanzania, a land of superb landscapes and spectacular wildlife, another attraction stands equally tall- the people. Tanzania’s people are among the most welcoming and approachable on earth, with a range of fascinating cultures ready to be shared with visitors. From the wachagga of the slopes of Kilimanjaro to the now world-famous Maasai, a cultural excursion or a longer stay among local people is likely to become one of the most rewarding experiences of any holiday I Tanzania.

In addition, many local areas run their own cultural programmes for visitors, bringing income directly to the community and giving the people the chance to show their lifestyle to the outside world on their own terms. Primary schools can be developed through a tour of the fascinating slopes of Mt Meru; a health clinic is improved through a guided tour of the luscious green Usambara Mountains, or a kindergarten funded by a stroll through the tropical vegetation of the Rift Valley.

ultural tourism programmes are benefi cial to everyone – the tourists get a unique, unforgettable experience, the local people generate income and improve their standard of living, and both parties gain valuable understanding of another culture which will last long after the visitors have returned home. Most cultural tourism programmes are located near the main through fares of the principal tourist destinations, making a cultural addition to a safari easy to arrange. Guides are local people born and raised in the area, well trained in their obs and proficient in English.

ultural tours can be half-day events or incorporated into a longer safari. Whether you spend the morning in a Maasai boma or trek by camel up a local summit, stopping to learn about traditional plants and tribal stories, a cultural tour is must-do for anyone wanting to see the rich life of the Tanzania people. Some of Tanzania’s bestknown cultural tourism destinations include:

“Cultural tourism programmes are benefi cial to everyone – the tourists get a unique, unforgettable experience, the local people generate income and improve their standard of living…”

Eyasi

Home to some of the last hunter-gatherers in Africa, the Hadzabe bushmen have made the area around Lake Eyasi their long-time hunting grounds. Day-trips or longer safaris with the hadzabe bushmen give visitors a chance to experience a way of life that has long since vanished elsewhere on the planet. Morning hunts with the Hadzabe warriors, armed with bows and arrows, offer a fascinating glimpse into an ancient way of life. Honey-gathering, walks to find traditional healing plants and food, and traditional dances are all part of the Hadzabe cultural tourism experience.

Kilimanjaro

Why not combine a hike up the world’s most impressive mountain with a visit to its people, the historically progressive WaChagga? See traditional and modern Chagga art, culture and homes.

Maasailand

See how the Maasai, among the last of the world’s pastoral peoples, are adapting to the 21st century in their own way and in their won time. Visit Engaruka, the lost city in the shadow of the Great Rift Wall, where Maasai mix irrigation, farming and traditional herding. In Mkuru, near Arusha National Park, short camel treks with local Maasai give visitors a glimpse into nomadic culture, as they climb nearby Ol Donyo Landaree.

Meru

Only minutes from bustling Arusha are spots that look and feel as they did decades ago. But everywhere, too, is transition as the WaArusha and WaMeru peoples adapt tradition to progress and science. Visitors can meet a traditional healer, learn about animal husbandry and agri-culture, and buy carvings and foodstuffs from local handicraft cooperatives or women’s business.

Southern Pare Mountains

The most vocal and fiercest critics of capitalism, Karl Marx, shouldn’t be blamed. He was right when he called our obsessiveness for wealth and profit as “primitive accumulation.” Worse, our obsessiveness over wealth and profit is a never-ending game.

Here are three reasons why being generous is critical to your business success. Let’s get right to it.

. enerosity egets ontentment

Looking at it on the surface, the act of giving doesn’t make much sense. But when you critically dissect it from the inside, you’ll find out that being generous is not only about losing a sheer of your products. It’s not about being favorable to some folks and doing a disservice to your venture either. It’s quite the opposite. If you give your physical product or a share of your profits to someone, you’re actually doing a personal good to both yourself and your beneficiary.

.The ore ou ive, The ore You Get

When you offer a freemium service to your potential premium subscriber, charge 0.00 for your drop-shipping business, or give out your 300-page e-book for free to your new blog subscriber, you’re not losing a sale. ou’re building a strong relationship with your prospective customer. ou’re building a solid connection with your audience. The connection will help your buyer to not only get to know you better, but admire you and trust you. Whatever you sell, whatever you stand for, if you want to stand out and reap more rewards, you have to give more.

. iving Doesn’t ust uild our usiness. t hanges our orld

When you give out something for free, you’re not only opening the gates of the word-of-mouth advertisement for your startup. In reality, you’re inspiring your audience. ou’re building your community. ou’re changing your world for the better. Give out some funds or books to a person or your local community. The items you give out will do much more than put a smile in the person’s face. It will directly contribute to improving their life. Sure, that will motivate them to give as well -- when they get their business ideas off the ground -- and the engine of giving back continues to recycle.

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

Kilimanjaro is a dormant volcano, but not an extinct one. Ominous rumbles can sometimes be heard as gases emerge from fume holes in the

crater. Although just three degrees south of the Equator, the peaks of the mountain have caps of snow and ice year around.

Kilimanjaro climbers pass from a tropical to an arctic environment in just a few days. They pass through lush rainforest before reaching the heather and open moorland where

plants grow. There is an almost that stretches between the two peaks of Kibo and Mawenzi.

The highest point of Kibo, and indeed the whole of Africa, is Uhuru Peak, with spectacular glaciers and stupendous views of

Also, on Kibo is the slightly lower peak of Gillman’s point. These are the goals for most climbers. The pinnacle shaped peaks of Mawenzi are for mountaineers only.

With the help of porters and a guide, it is possible to walk all the way to the summit of Kibo without special mountaineering equipment – or experience – and Kilimanjaro can be conquered by

to seven days and involves four or huts or tents.

NGORONGORO CRATER

Ngorongoro Crater, found within the Ngorongoro Conservation Area Authority, is often described as “the bowl in which a variety of wildlife live”. Set in Northern Tanzania, the crater shares part of the Serengeti plains to the northwest and borders the towns of Arusha, Moshi and Mount Kilimanjaro to the east. The crater has been listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. It is the most popular of the African Natural Wonders in terms of annual visitors, attracting over 500,000 tourists every year

SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK

A World Heritage Site, the Serengeti is undoubtedly the best-known wildlife sanctuary in the world, unequalled for its

value. With more than two million wildebeests, half a million Thomson’s gazelle, and a quarter of a million zebra, it has the greatest concentration of plains game in Africa. The wildebeest and zebra, moreover, form the star cast of a unique, spectacular annual Serengeti migration.

The Serengeti is approximately 27,000 square kilometers and covers 14,763 km² (5,700 square miles) of grassland

plains and savanna as well as riverine forest and woodlands. The park lies in Northern Tanzania, bordered to the north by the Tanzanian and Kenyan border, where it is continuous with the Maasai Mara National Reserve. To the southeast of the park is Ngorongoro

Conservation Area, to the southwest lies Maswa Game Reserve, the western borders are Ikorongo and Grumeti Game Reserves, and finally to the northeast lies Loliondo Game Control Area.

For centuries, the vast wilderness of the Serengeti Plains remained virtually uninhabited but about hundred years ago the nomadic Maasai came down from the north with their cattle. The first European to set foot in the area was the German explorer and naturalist Dr. Oscar Baumann, who passed by as an agent of the German Anti- Slavery Committee on his way to Burundi in 1911. The first professional hunters came in 1913. They found the wildlife plentiful, especially the lions, but saw no elephants. Seven years later, an American arrived in a Ford motorcar –news of the wonders of the Serengeti had reached the outside world. Because the hunting of lions made them so scarce (they were considered ‘vermin’), it was decided to make a partial Game Reserve in the area in 1921 and a full one in 1929. With the growing awareness of the need for conservation, it was expanded and

upgraded to a National Park in 1951.

The park is comprised of four main areas:

1) In the heart of the national park, Seronera is a network of river valleys that ensure year-round water supplies and keep the region incredibly rich in wildlife throughout the year.

2) Stretching to the west, almost to Lake Victoria, the Serengeti narrows into what’s known as the Western Corridor. The key feature of this area is the two rivers, the Grumeti and the Mbalageti, which run almost parallel, each supporting a band of most, evergreen riparian forest.

3) The landscape in the Northern Serengeti is dominated by open woodlands and hills, ranging from Seronera in the South, to the Mara River in the limit with Kenya.

4) The endless, almost treeless Grassland Plains of the south is the most emblematic scenery of the park, as this is where the wildebeest breed.

In the open grass plains during the rainy months from November to May, hundreds of thousands of whitebearded wildebeest, Thompson’s Gazelles, and Burchell’s zebra congregate. Towards the end of May when the grass becomes dry and exhausted, the wildebeest start to mass in huge armies. Eventually, after several dummy runs, the animals begin their trek in a column several miles long to the permanent waters in the north of the park, moved by their own innate biological triggers. After moving westwards, the migration divides by some uncanny instinct, one group turning northeast and the other due north. Once started, little stops the stampede: hundreds often drown at a time in the broad Mara River in the north. This mass movement has a following of carnivores, always ready

to dispose of the weaklings.

Yet even when the migration is quiet, the Serengeti offers arguably the most scintillating game-viewing in Africa: great herds of buffalo, smaller groups of elephant and giraffe, and thousands upon thousands of eland, topi, kongoni, impala and Grant’s gazelle. The spectacle of predator versus prey dominates Tanzania’s greatest park. Golden-maned lion prides feast on the abundance of plain grazers. Solitary leopards haunt the acacia trees lining the Seronera River, while a high density of cheetahs prowls the south-eastern plains. Almost uniquely, all three African jackal species occur here, alongside the spotted hyena and a host of more elusive small predators, ranging from the insectivorous aardwolf to the beautiful serval cat.

The park also supports many further species, including cheetah, Thomson’s and Grant’s gazelle, topi, eland, waterbuck, hyena, baboon, impala, African wild dog and giraffe. The park also boasts about 500 bird species, including ostrich, secretary bird, Kori bustard, crowned crane and marabou stork.

In conclusion, Tanzania boasts an incredible display of natural power and majesty, and we are so proud to call this country home. Through the changing times, as the tides of economic and social development and governmental change roll, one thing is for certain: Tanzania’s wonders will always be a reflection of the beauty that man alone cannot create or even fully fathom.

Tanzanite Tour

A lot of travelers tell us that they

the animals – and return for the people. That’s a testament to the warm, genuine hospitality on offer in Tanzania – equally fascinating, cultures that can be experienced in Tanzania. This is a country of storytellers, where myths and legends are passed down from generation to generation. African Galleria is

a place where you can meet the people behind the pieces, from the ebony wood carvers, jewelry designers, painters, craftsmen and chefs.

You know you are buying quality jewellery when you purchase a Tanzanite right in the heart of Tanzania. But have you ever wondered exactly how these precious stones are mined? At the African Galleria we have built a makeshift-mine on our property so that you can experience the life-cycle of each Tanzanite. There is also a ‘peek-window’ where you can watch our jewellers hard at work crafting your next one of a kind jewellery piece. Put some sparkle into your life by going on African Galleria’s Tanzanite Tour.

Ebony Tour

Tanzania is one of the only countries in the world that ethically produce ebony products. If you want to know

more and see for yourself, we recommend you go on the Ebony Tour. There you will get to see the jaw dropping transformations that these artists create. See them in action, turning a seemingly average looking tree stump, into amazing artworks that will take your breath away. Go on, have a look - seeing is believing!

Painting Tour

When people hear the word African, there are a few things

that instantly springs to mind. Going on an African Safari; experiencing the unique African culture and (probably most notably) seeing the wonderful talent and passion expressed in their works of art. At African Galleria, we appreciate art and we are proud to work alongside some of the best artists Tanzania has to offer. We have created a proverbial portal between client and creator, by giving the buyer a chance to shake hands with the artists themselves.
