this was their moment of breakthrough, when Amby Lusekelo went to the festival little did she know that she would end up with up to some $200,000 budget to make a film.

The opening ceremony which was graced by former President Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete called on the organizers to make the festival a ‘big thing’ because there is every indication that it can get there.

“Over 50 filmmakers in attendance from over 12 countries were joined by more than 100 SOKO FILAM delegates, as well as workshops facilitators and jury members from around the world. ZIFF’s Chief Guest, US-based producer Dexter Davis conducted a three-day workshop that culminated in a pitching competition for African filmmakers.”

“South African films won big this year at ZIFF, with the most prestigious award of the night, the coveted Golden Dhow for Best Feature Film being awarded to Noem My Skollie / Call Me Thief. This year, with the addition of a sponsorship from Showmax, the winner of the award also received a cash prize for the first time. The film, directed

“We cannot continue this way if we want to reach the levels of the Cannes and Toronto film festivals, we have to modernize to attract the so-called celebrities here. I have heard from the Chairman Mahmoud Kombo that over 14,000 visitors have come here but that number can still grow and in the process, bring more income to both the festival and Zanzibar,” he said.

By Sixmund J. Begashe

“Museum and Cultural House through its Museum Art Explosion (MAE) program has decided to join in the fight against corruption in the country through art in order to convey the message to the community.”

Speaking at the MAE program, the director of the Museum and Cultural House, who is also the chairman of the program, Mr. Achiles Bufure said, they have decided to fight corruption through art in order to eradicate corruption in Tanzania.

“Corruption is the enemy to development of this country and even to our culture, the museum is responsible for protecting and maintaining our culture so we have found it best to support the efforts of our President of Tanzania Dr John Magufuli on fight corruption so that it does not exist in our country”. Said Mr Bufure.

The artists who got a chance to participate in the program have congratulated MAE for this initiative and have promised to continue supporting all the measures of the fight against corruption in the country.

“The fight against corruption is for each of us so we have decided to join the MAE to fight corruption through our works of art.”

Said Mr Yunga J. Yunga, a sculpture artist.

Open Stage at Goethe-Institut An interactive art performance

F

or the last Open Stage at the Goethe-Institut seven acts came on board to show what they can do with their musical talents.

“After changing the approach and content of the Open Stage at the Goethe-Institut to focus more on quality of the performance of the artists, the event has revitalized itself.”

“We had plenty of applications from different artists and groups to get a chance to perform at the event”, says Malte Hiekel, the Coordinator of the Open Stage.

He says it was a challenge to keep the list updated until to the final day of the performance because people change their mind or just don’t trust their capacity to perform in front of critical audience.

The motivation for artists and groups to perform at the event is to present in 15

minutes at minimal is not that simple. However, with a good boost and support the come up with some serious stuff, says Malte.

Dar es Salaam and Tanzania is teeming with artistic talents who need support in areas that are not so obvious to many of us and even to the artists themselves.

“Through the opportunity provided by the event”, say Daniel Sempeho, the Cultural Program Officer for Goethe-Institut Tanzania, “many artists see where they need to strengthen their skills as artists”.

“For this edition, the Matona Cultural Band from Zanzibar provide a very good example to the other performers since the eight-head band kicked off dust.

With a variety of music genres, they filled their 45 minutes’ slots to the delight of the guests of the show.”

During the Open Stage a number of experienced artists or arts stakeholder mingle and provide the performers with encouragement to continue and hone their skills he says.

The next Open Stage is in September and it is expected to be better than the last one where about 130 visitors filed out the Garden at the Goethe-Institut.

The Goethe-Institut is the cultural institute of the Federal Republic of Germany with a global reach. We promote knowledge of German abroad, encourage international cultural exchange and convey a comprehensive image of Germany.

Open Stage is an event for emerging artists and musicians from Tanzania. In cooperation with the Music Mayday Academy in Dar es Salaam, the Goethe-Institut provides rehearsals with a backing live-band and a stage to perform. The Open Stage will help young and fresh artists to set a foot into the music-industry.

CYCLING IN COMMUNITY

A Slow Ride to Show Solidarity for Dar Cyclists

By John Kinga

“THE EVENT WAS ONCE AGAIN ORGANIZED BY UWABA IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE EUROPEAN UNION (EU) IN TANZANIA AS PART OF THE ACTIVITIES TO CELEBRATE THE EUROPEAN YEAR FOR DEVELOPMENT 2017.

THIS YEAR THE EVENT ALSO MARKED THE ANNUAL CELEBRATION OF ‘CLIMATE DIPLOMACY WEEK’.”

M

ore than a thousand cyclists and joggers, male and female of various backgrounds participated in the 17th UWABA/EU Dar es Salaam Cycle Caravan that took place on Sunday, 2nd July 2017 at Mnazi Moja Grounds in Dar es Salaam. UWABA-Umma wa Wapanda Baisikeli, is the official cyclists association in Tanzania.

“Several hundred cyclists of all ages were led by the guest

of honor, European Head of Delegation Ambassador.

Roeland Van De Geer, Italian Ambassador to Tanzania Mr. Roberto Mengoni, EU personnel and government officials.

They cycled from Mnazi Mmoja Grounds via Bibi Titi Mohamed Street, Ohio Street, Sokoine Drive, Obama Drive then United Nations Road, Morogoro Road, Lumumba Street and back to Manazi Mmoja

Grounds for a total distance of 8.5km.

There has been a rise of the number of Tanzanians opting to cycle especially in the middle class. This indicates that cycling is becoming a lifestyle shedding its previous image of being a mode of transportation for

the lower income bracket. It is believed that these middle class cyclists will help push a road safety agenda including the creation of cycle lanes, public bathrooms for cyclists, bike racks on the BRT buses, low taxes on bicycle spare parts and more frequent bicycle races.

As is customary after the

caravan, there were raffle draws in which several participants won 6 bikes, 7 tricycles, and 100 helmets.

Participants need not register or pay any entrance fee – next year simply show up to ride or jog your way around the track.

10 Top Tips for Building a Successful Career Opportunity to reshape your life

By John Kinga

“Building your career is exciting because it provides an opportunity to shape and reshape your life in the way you want. It can also be scary when you do not know what it is that you want to do and when you are not sure how you can make a living.

The more you are in charge of your process, the better you will feel.”

Stay flexible: There are probably a number

of different areas that you could see yourself working in. Experiment and see what you like best! Volunteer at a local non-profit. Join a committee. Take a class. Do you need additional skills? Take a course or go for another degree.

Network: Here’s the real secret of career building: the best jobs come up because someone who knows you thinks that you would be the right person for the job. So networking is a critical piece of career success. Yet many people are afraid to network, thinking that it is somehow impolite to ask others for help. Even worse, the way wonder why would anyone want to spend time with someone new to the field. And here’s another insight: networking does not have to be scary. Think of networking as connecting with another person so that the two of you are in sync and are relevant to each other.

Get support: Seek out people who

In our first edition, we had looked at the first 5 steps. In this issue, we continue with the remaining tips to make your career mode more exciting and to help you move forward as you create your career.

Have a plan: Once you have answered all of

the foregoing questions, do some research into different career scenarios that combine your values, strengths, passions and favorite skills sets AND provide you with the money that you need to make. Imagine yourself in those careers. Make a long-range plan for your career search and set quarterly, monthly and weekly SMART goals.

Be good to yourself: Building a career can be tricky so be good to yourself. Create a nourishment menu of fun, free things to do that make you feel great. Keep a success journal documenting all the things that you do well. If negative self-talk is holding you back, come up with a mantra or affirmation that can remind you of yourself at your best. Make these practices a habit throughout your life!

Every Career is unique, so yours may not perfectly adhere to the formula. Use these steps as a loose guideline for the course of your Career’s development, and thrust yourself into the process as much as you can.

Employee Involvement Campaigns Why & How to Effectively Engage Staff

By Gregory P. Smith

R

ecently, an organization I worked with conducted a powerful employee suggestion program called an Idea Campaign. In just three weeks this organization captured over 500 new ideas from the workforce. At the end of the campaign, they had substantial, bottom line ideas and employee suggestions on how to improve productivity, cut costs, and improve worker motivation.

“Getting employees’ ideas should not be an option. If your organization is going to be competitive, it is mandatory you involve the minds, hands, and ideas of everyone in your organization. Getting employees involved not only yields valuable ideas and suggestions, but also the increased morale of workers who feel like they are being listened to results in a more productive and satisfying work environment.”

52 I Dar Life I August 2017

The Idea Campaign concept is a revolutionary way of capturing new ideas and improving employee involvement. They are a highly effective, fun, and adrenaline charged version of the traditional employee suggestion program. The major difference between this and other employee involvement programs is there is a direct bottom line result.

The campaign is the best way of getting hundreds of ideas from the workforce quickly. They have been used by many organizations and recently by Eglin Air Force Base.

At Eglin Air Force Base, the campaign ran for two weeks where both civilian and military personnel were asked to submit ideas that could reduce waste and inefficiency or increase productivity. Eglin received a tremendous surprise when workers generated $400,000 worth of cost savings ideas and new ways to generate revenue.

Harley-Davidson ran a similar program saving $3,000,000 in one 30 day program. The U.S.

Park Service made over 12,000 suggestions with an approval rate of 75 percent. These are only a few of the organizations discovering tremendous results.

The goal is to get at least one idea from everyone in the organization. For the first idea, each person receives a custom designed coffee cup. The second idea is rewarded with a writing pen. In addition, each week there is a special award ceremony to recognize everyone’s ideas.

At the end of the celebration management randomly draw names from a basket for one of several prizes. Other award items like baseball caps, gold rimmed coffee mugs, books and medallions can be provided.

However, the most coveted prize was a reserved parking space in front of the building.

With most suggestion programs, results are slow in coming and the really good ideas get screened out. On the other hand, idea campaigns take a different twist.

All ideas are recognized and all suggestors receive instantaneous recognition. The vendor provides all materials, awards and the instructions.

What people discover is that the most powerful force was not the awards. What they learned from the campaign is people become more motivated when they know someone will listen to and do something about their ideas.

Hot Tips for Perfect Summer Skin Time to flaunt glowing, healthy skin

By Wema Kajo

“Summer means beach days and barbeques, and a time to flaunt glowing, healthy skin.

Hemlines are shorter, blouses are sleeveless, and bare feet make their appearance. 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 sunscreen with a SPF factor no less than 20. When you go out into the sun, reapply your sunscreen regularly and always wear a hat. This will prevent the formation of pigmentation.

Feet first – Feet require special care in the summer. Keep nails short to enjoy summer sports activities. Exfoliate feet regularly, and don’t lighten up on rich, emollient foot creams, because parts of the feet contain no oil glands. If you visit the 56 I Dar Life I August 2017

beach, take a long walk. No manmade treatment equals the exfoliation power of feet pounding against sand.

Hydrate – Ensure you drink plenty of water during the hot months, especially if you are very active. If you start drinking water once you feel thirsty it means that you are already slightly dehydrated.

Always try to carry bottled 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 SPF 15

or higher. Chapped lips may be annoying but burned lips can be very painful! Reapply often and even more so when you are outdoors.

Perfume precaution – Certain perfumes, especially those containing citrus notes, are photosensitive and can cause pigmentation on the skin if exposed to sunlight.

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 in the sun.

Exfoliate – Exfoliating your skin is very important in the summer. Skin cells are shed at a very quick rate every day, so if you do not get rid of 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 glow and ensure an even tan.

“Summer is the time you want your skin to look healthy and fresh but many people suffering from oily skin might end up with a spotty complexion.

Increased sweat, humidity and application of sunscreen block the pores, promoting the formation of bacteria build-up. Ensure clean skin with a balancing cleanser and apply a cleansing or repair mask twice a week.”

Moisturize - Excessive heat can dehydrate the skin, so it’s important to keep it moisturized during the summer, even if your skin feels oily. More sebum is a sign that your skin could be dehydrated. It’s tempting to skip moisturizer in the summer because of excess oils on the skin. Use a lotion instead of a creme—it contains more water and less oil.

After sun treatments – After a day in the sun it is recommended to apply an after-sun treatment that will help combat signs of skin aging caused by UV rays.

ARTIST OF THE MONTH:

DISMAS LEONARD SEKIBAHA Focus on: Tanzanian Art “...art is in my blood.”

By Neema Maro “Sekibaha’s first exhibition took place in 1997 at Livingstone Restaurant in Zanzibar, Tanzania. He has since exhibited his work in Tanzania, Austria, and in the US. He has participated in experimental artistic projects, international art residence and three solo exhibitions. Recently Sekibaha´s style involves monocrome drawings with fine ink strokes, the theme varies from controversial topic of polygamy vs a modern definition of open relationship in the western world as well as psychosocial behavior associated to politician in both developed and developing World. Recently Sekibaha work was exhibited alongside the work of a finest African artist, the late Malangatana Ngwenya as well as Justino António Cardoso at Hofkabinett Galerry in Austria. His next project, collaborated with Engineer Nurdin Mihungo and three more invited poets is the poetry book in Swahili titled DIWANI YA WANAVINA which is expected to be independently published later this year.

Dar Life caught up with the newly emerging artist Dismas Leonard Sekibaha, who shared with us a bit about his history, what inspires him, and how he envisions the future of art in Tanzania.

Dismas Leonard Sekibaha was born on August 12th, 1978 in Mufindi in Southern Highlands Tanzania. He comes from artist family background. As he was interested in drawings since he was young, he started off earning his living by painting public health campaigns advertisements in Tanga. He considered art

Name: Â Dismas Leonard Sekibaha Profession: Painter & poet Born: 12-08-1978 Mufindi-Mafinga, Iringa as a serious profession when he joined University of Dar es Salaam, department of Fine and Performing Arts in 2002 when he was tutored by more experienced artists including Professor Elias Jengo and Dr. L. C. Mwenesi. At this time when Sekibaha put more focus on art, he joined courses in creative writing in the department of Literature at UDSM as well as Africa Cinema in order to build a strong base for his creative development.

He later taught art and craft classes at SOS Hermann Gmeiner School in Zanzibar, worked with AKF-Create project as a Communication officer where he designed communication materials

DL - How long have you been an artist?

Sekibaha - I have been serious about being an artist since 1994 when I was selected to represent Tanga region in UMITASHUMTA drawing competition in Moshi, Tanzania.

DL - What mediums do you like to use?

Sekibaha - I prefer a combination of ink pigment and oil pastel over other oil paints and acrylic colors.

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

Sekibaha – It was in at Livingstone Restaurant in Stone Town, Zanzibar in 1997. I had my work exhibited alongside works from famous Zanzibar artists such as Seif Soud, Hamza Ausy, Bayuu, Medi, Kadudu and Ba Mpango to mention a few.

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

Sekibaha – In most cases I work from my imagination.

DL - What moves you most in life, either to inspire or upset you?

Sekibaha – Quite a lot; I’m always inspired by people from different cultural background, the way they think, the way they do things and also I like travel and meet new people and new have adventures.

60 I Dar Life I July 2017

DL - What is the role of the artist in society?

Sekibaha – You know, if artist paints more works, they buy more art materials which is good. If they sell more, the money goes to the society and you have cycle of money and development of art all together.

Also, an artist role is to reflect the times- what is happening in society, how the society feels and most importantly, how it is living. Without art, it would be difficult to gauge how a society is.

DL - What technique do you use? Which is more important to you, the subject of your painting, or the way it is executed?

Sekibaha – I enjoy abstract work, there is no freedom in that but it is interesting to associate images you put on canvas with the vision you have and sometimes it is interpreted in a different way.

It’s great because the whole process is of equal value, the subject and the way it is done.

DL - What do you think makes your work stand out?

Sekibaha – The style and the theme gives a chance for the observer to always see the work in different way and in a different dimension. Sometimes the debate I have with people when I talk about my work and them having different opinion on what they think the work represents makes my work stand out.

DL - What inspired you to start painting?

Sekibaha – For the most part I got inspired just by observing daily life around me and the world events that are happening at that particular moment.

Kilimanjaro National Park

Climbing Kilimanjaro scores high on countless ultimate to-do lists. Reaching the summit feels like being on top of Africa, with the whole continent lying at your feet.

And best of all: most people reach the crater rim with no more than the right clothing, a humble attitude and a good measure of willpower.

66 I Dar Life I August 2017

64135_UK Brochure Tanzania.indd 10

Africa’s snow-capped giant bursts out of the savannah to an almost haughty 5,895 metres. Mount Kilimanjaro is a stratovolcano and therefore boasts three peaks: Kibo (5,895 metres), Mawenzi (5,149 metres) and the Shira plateau (3,962 metres).

Today, the volcano is still partly active. Don’t expect any display from Shira and Mawenzi – both collapsed over a million years ago – but sleeping beauty Kibo is still capable of some action.

During the past century its cone has been seen smoking and expelling ominous rumbling noises from deep down its core.

Reaching the summit feels like being on top of Africa When the German missionary Johannes Rebmann wrote about a snow-capped peak on the Equator in 1848, people didn’t take him seriously. But his words did trigger some daredevils to conquer the remarkable colossus. The first attempt in 1861 failed and it wasn’t before 1889 that the German geographer Hans Meyer became the first foreigner to reach Kibo Peak. The summit was baptised Kaiser Wilhelm Spitze (Kaiser Wilhelm Peak), after the Prussian ruler Wilhelm I. After independence in 1961 it was given a more local name: Uhuru (Freedom) Peak.

All adults of normal health and fitness should be able to make it to the top. There is no need to bring serious climbing equipment, but waterproof, windproof and warm gear (don’t forget mittens and a hat) is highly advisable. The conditions may change rapidly so bring a set of clothes for each day.

The six-day Marangu trail: the oldest way up Mount Kilimanjaro Day 1: an 8 km trek from Marangu Gate to Mandara Hut that will take about 4-5 hours (ascent 760 m) Day 2: an 11 km trek to Horombo Hut that will take about 5-6 hours (ascent 1,053 metres) Day 3: Rest day Day 4: an 11 km trek to Kibo Hut that takes about 4,5-6 hours (ascent 970 metres) Day 5: a 21 km trek from Kibo Hut to Uhuru Peak, back to Kibo Hut and Horombo Hut that will take about 14-17,5 hours (ascent 1,142 metres, decent 2,112 metres) Day 6: a 19 km trek to Marangu Gate that takes about 5-6 hours (decent 1,810 metres)

Alternatives There are several other routes that take you to the summit of Kibo: Machame, Rongai, Umbwe and Londorosi/Lemosho. The Mweka route is used as a descent corridor for the Machame, Umbwe and Londorosi/Lemosho routes.

Note: although climbing Mount Kili is feasible for the many of us, no one said it is going to be easy. Keep in mind that it will be a challenging hiking experience at all times and the oxygen content of the air on top is 40% of that of sea level.

All adults of normal health and fitness should be able to make it to the top It is not only about reaching the top however. Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is a journey from the tropics to the Arctic and back.

The higher you climb, the colder it gets; Mount Kili encompasses several major climatic zones. You start from the surrounding hot, tropical region (800-1,900 metres). You then walk through the dense and lush montane forest (1,900-2,900 metres) inhabited with primates, antelopes and even elephants. After the forest you reach the bushy and grassy heath and moorland (2,900-4,000 metres) with huge heather and giant, alien-looking lobelias.

The final vertical kilometre takes you through sparse, barren alpine desert (4,000-5,000 metres) to the chilly summit (up to 5,895 metres), consisting of lava desert and glacier patches.

Mission accomplished: a vertical tour around the world in unrivalled beauty.

• Kilimanjaro National Park is a World Heritage Site and established in 1973 (yet officially opened in 1977).

• From west to east it stretches 45 km.

• Height: from 2,700 metres (Mandara) to 5,895 metres (Kibo).

• The park is easily accessible, arrival by tarmac road (steep slopes in the last section).

• It’s a 123 km drive from the town of Arusha, which will take about 2 hours: 1 hour to the town of Moshi (first 80 km). From there it takes another hour to Marangu Gate (1,970 metres), through the village of Himo.

• Although there are lots of hikers on popular Marangu route all year round, it is relatively quiet on the less frequently used routes.

Historical and UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Tanzania Tanzania is a country, which encompasses an astonishing history and a wealth of natural wonders; therefore it is no surprise that most sites have been listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

T

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.

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

European missionaries and explorers mapped the interior of the country by following wellworn 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 19th century.

Around the 4th century AD, coastal 72 I Dar Life I August 2017

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.

Between the 13th and 15th 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 19th 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 one-party 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.

RUINS OF KILWA KISIWANI AND RUINS OF SONGO MNARA

The remains of two great East African ports admired by early European explorers are situated on two small islands near the coast. From the 13th to the 16th century, the merchants of Kilwa dealt in gold, silver, pearls, perfumes, Arabian crockery, Persian earthenware and Chinese porcelain; much of the trade in the Indian Ocean thus passed through their hands. Serious archaeological investigation began in the 1950s. In 1981 it was declared a World Heritage Site.

KILIMANJARO NATIONAL PARK

The Kilimanjaro National park is located near Moshi, Tanzania.

It is centered on the iconic and dramatic snow clad slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro, which covers an area of 753km (291 square miles). In 1973, the mountain above the tree line was classified as a National Park and was opened to public access in 1977, but it wasn’t until 1987 UNESCO listed the park as a World Heritage Site.

SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK

KONDOA ROCK ART SITES

The Kondoa rock art site is a series of caves carved into the side of a hill looking out over the steppe. The cave site is 9km off the main highway from Kondoa to Arusha, about 20km north of Kondoa. The site has a spectacular collection of images from over 150 shelters depicting elongated people, animals, and hunting scenes.

SELOUS GAME RESERVE The Serengeti National Park is Tanzania’s oldest park, and one of the world’s last great wildlife refuges, hence its World Heritage Sites status. It is most famous for its annual migration of over one million white bearded (or brindled) wildebeests and 200,000 zebras. The park covers 14,763km (5,700 square miles) of grassland plains and savannah as well as forest and woodlands.

The Selous Game Reserve covers a total area of 54,600km (21,081 square miles) and is one of largest fauna reserves of the world, located in the south of Tanzania. It was designated >> August 2017 Dar Life I 73

a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1982 due to the diversity of its wildlife and undisturbed nature.

ENGARUKA

THE NGORONGORO CONSERVATION AREA

Humans and their distant ancestors have been part of Ngorogoro’s landscape for millions of years. The earliest signs of mankind in the Conservation Area are at Laetoli, where hominid footprints are preserved in volcanic rocks are over 3.6 million years old.

STONETOWN, ZANZIBAR

Stone Town or Mji Mkongwe in Swahili meaning “ancient town” is the old part of Zanzibar City. The old town is built on a triangular peninsula of land on the western coast of the island and was awarded World Heritage Site status in 2000.

74 I Dar Life I August 2017

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

LINDI

The port town of Lindi in southwestern Tanzania, was the final top for slave caravans from lake Nyasa during the heyday of the Zanzibari sultans. In 1909, a team of German palaeontologists unearthed the remains of several dinosaur bones in Tendanguru, including the species Brachiosaurus brancai, the largest discovered dinosaur in the world.

MIKINDANI

Another central port in the Swahili Coasts network of the India Ocean trade. In the 15th century Mikindani’s reach extended as far as the Africa

hinterlands of the Congo and Zambia. The area became a centre of German colonial administration in the 1880s and a chief exporter of sisal coconuts.

ZANZIBAR

The most obvious historical site in Zanzibar is Stone Town, a world Heritage Site and the oldest continuously inhabited city in East Africa, but Zanzibar has much more to offer visitors. From the ruins of numerous places stemming from the Omani Sultan, ancient mosques (notably the oldest known Swahili text) Persian bathhouses, and colonial style), Zanzibar is an absolute treasure cove for the historically inclined.

Climate

Electricity

Generally dry and hot with cool nights/mornings in June – October; short rains from November to mid-December and long rains March – May, but the seasons can vary. The coastal strip is hot and humid all year round. Temperatures on Mount Kilimanjaro and Meru drop to below freezing.

230V, but power failures, surges and dips are common. Bring a universal adaptor and a torch (flashlight) or headlamp.

Clothes

Car hire

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.

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.

Time

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.
