      Tarangire Nationalpark

      14 Januari 2023, Tanzania ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

      Nach der anstrengenden Bergtour haben wir in der Mount Meru View Lodge genächtigt und das Erste mal anständig geschlafen.
      Um 09:30 wurden wir von Moses abgeholt und fuhren 3 Stunden Richtung Tarangire National Park.
      Bis auf dass ich von Affen um meine Bananen gebracht wurde, war der Besuch sehr lohnenswert. Die meisten großen Tiere bis auf den Leoparden könnten wir sehen.
      Unser Highlight war einem Löwen bei der Pirsch zuzuschauen.

      Zum Tarangire Nationalpark:
      Der Tarangire-Nationalpark ist ein Nationalpark im Norden Tansanias. Er wurde im Jahr 1970 eingerichtet, ist 2600 Quadratkilometer groß und liegt südwestlich von Arusha in der Nähe des Manyara-Sees auf 1000 bis 1500 m Höhe über dem Meeresspiegel.
      Durch den Park fließt der Tarangire-Fluss, der ständig Wasser führt, sodass zur jährlichen Trockenzeit von Juli bis Oktober viele Tiere aus trockeneren Regionen einwandern, was die höchste Großtierdichte in Tansania nach dem Ngorongoro-Krater hervorruft.

      United at Twiga Lodge!

      18 Desember 2022, Tanzania ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C

      At around midday Franziska arrives at Kilimanjaro International Airport. What a tiny sweet little airport. And what a tiny sweet little girl! We head off through the dry, ashy and brownish steppe. They have not had rain for more than 6 months here. First drops appeared just a few days ago. Back at Twiga Lodge in Usa River we slide into a slumbery nap on the wide open balcony with great view on Mount Meru. Today we are not camping in my car yet but sleep in one of their luxurious guest rooms. What a wonderful place to grove into our next four weeks of adventure. As we stroll around in the nearby village at dusk, Franziska gets her cultural infusion directly this very evening. Being surrounded by curious Tanzanians a friendly random guy introduces us to his mother and later to his other mother. How many mother might he have? There is loud music and without realising it we are dragged into a local communion celebration where we get offered fancy local food by this mother-abundant guy: spicy pilau with creamy makande, rich ndizi nyama and fresh cole slaw!Baca selengkapnya

      2. Tag Mount Meru

      12 Januari 2023, Tanzania ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C

      Aufstieg zur Saddle Hut auf 3500m mit unserem Ranger Joseph und Guide Anthoni.
      Einer unserer Träger Victor hat uns auf dem Weg selbst mit unserem Gepäck überholt 👀
      Das Camp erreichten wir nach etwa 4-5 Stunden, allerdings mussten wir zur Höhen-Akklimatisierung den Little Mount Meru noch auf 3800m besteigen.
      Besonders dankbar waren wir mal wieder Josephat, der mit hervorragendem Essen und vor allem Suppen auf uns wartete.

      Wherever I may roam

      1 April 2020, Tanzania ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

      From lake Jipe I move west. My instinct calls for the savannah. Today's destination? Unclear. I just don't know! What should I make any decision for? I cannot cross any border nor do I have any certain plan for flying out to Germany. Actually, I don't even really care right now. The flights have ugly connections and/or are way too expensive. Here it's Paradise, there it's third world war (which China already won ;-). I wait for more details from the foreign office.

      So, in-between I try to find the true peace for my soul. Climbing Kili? Next time maybe. It results in pure stress with those guided tourist-bullshit-tours. In this country you are not allowed to do anything on your own! They catch you in every corner and want to squeeze money out of you. Even for shitting in the thorny bush you are obliged to pay a guide! They say, climbing Kili is 500-1000 USD and you have to pay a dude to carry your stuff. And what if I didn't want anybody to carry my dirty equipment??

      During these days I discover an improved way of travelling. Having even less of a plan than normally gives me more time for coffee stops, even time for decoration with carrot-pineapple cake (at Union Cafe in Moshi). It results in just 100-130 km per day instead of 200-400. And I tell you, 300 km here in the "wild" is already stress, rushing hectic with 12 h driving when having merely 13 h of daylight. Moshi is friendlier than expected but my car is being guarded by a friendly dude with a pump-action shotgun! I have to leave civilization. Fast!

      Anyway, this Kilimanjaro is a lie. Not to be seen anywhere. Thanks to OpenStreetMap I find some veeeery narrow, tiny, little paths through pretty farmland leading southwest around the hiding Kili. A meditational drive which gets even prettier once I enter the open pastures northeast of Mt. Meru. It's a hard cultural cut, now being dominated primarily by herding Masai whereas the region southwest of Kili was by "some mixed type of farmers" (sorry, don’t know all the different tribes with their habits yet). Today’s whole drive I unnoticedly climb around 1000 m and end up on 1500 m in the Mkuru eco camp, led by the local Masai community. The wonderful afternoon sunlight keeps me from progressing. I spend more time on top of my roof rack than behind the wheel. Finally some fresh air up here!

      Filling the gap years

      22 Desember 2019, Tanzania ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C

      In 2017 Tanzania’s population was estimated at 51.5 million, of which almost two thirds (63.8%) were below the age of 25, (mean age 17.6 years.)

      This year nearly 22 million pupils will be enrolled in school - the numbers I have found seem to vary according to the source. One reason is that an unidentified number of children are never registered with the authorities; hence the current introduction of a national identity card without which no SIM card can be obtained.

      In 2016 the average number of students per teacher was 135. During the last 4 years the number has dropped a little: many teachers have been trained which is why the surge in demand has not made the figures worse. But there is still a huge gap so any child that falls behind or drops out is abandoned. Hence Kyosei and its new school.

      The new school is half an hour outside Arusha in a development area on a plot measuring 90m by 80m. I know because I measured it: believe it or neither seller nor purchaser bothered to do so before!

      The road next to the school should be built in 2020, and electricity and water connected around then. In order to start teaching as soon as possible there is a roof fed tank to collect rainwater, and I have spent some time specifying and getting quotes for a small solar power installation, (which is more than they have funds for.)

      I liked the view of Mt Meru.

      Buried treasure

      14 Januari 2020, Tanzania ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C

      The street outside the compound turns into a storm drain after rain.

      I could never understand why people gave me a funny look as I emptyed laundry and washing up water into this brick bed in the middle of the compound under the laundry line. Finally somebody told me. It costs money to bury people in municipal plots so householders frequently put their nearest and dearest - such a treasure - to rest in their gardens - or compounds.
      Oops!

      32. Tanzania: Arusha & Maasai People

      18 Juni 2023, Tanzania ⋅ ⛅ 75 °F

      On our way inland towards Serengeti, we passed through the bustling town of Arusha, which is in close proximity to Mt. Kilimanjaro, and home to 2.3 million people. We toured a Maasai village, and I took my first camel ride.

      Maasai people are nomadic pastoralists, and male and female roles are well defined. The men protect the women and the cattle & goat herds, the women do everything else. They build and take down the home when they move, they have and raise the babies and handle the food, water, washing - pretty much everything.

      A Maasai man's wealth is judged by the size of his family and his cows. Women fetch 10 cows each when they get married, so men want daughters. Of course, this is not so hard when you have many wives.

      Think you'd rather be male than female? Boys are circumsized at age 14. No anesthesia. They have recently stopped circumsizing the girls.

      We stayed at a place called Meserani Snake Park - they had crocodiles there - i added a rew pix.

      Goodbye Africa - It Was Magical

      13 November 2023, Tanzania ⋅ ☁️ 24 °C

      My 4-week safari trip around Lake Victoria has come to an end. It is with a crying and smiling eye that I say goodbye to newfound friends, an amazing continent and all the wild animals.

      I can wholeheartedly say that I managed to get everything out of this overland tour that I wanted and then some more:

      1) Managed to finally spot the leopard and thus completed seeing the Big Five
      2) Saw an incredible amount of animals with the highlight being some playful lions 2 meters away from our 4x4
      3) Visited the three most renowned national parks in East Africa (Masai Mara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater) and other hidden gems (Lake Nakuru, Lake Mburo)
      4) First time kayaked and did Grade V rapids - nearly died, but that story is for another time
      5) Got an interesting, even if devastating insight into the causes, effects and aftermath of the genocide in Rwanda - something I wanted to see since I watched Hotel Rwanda many years ago
      6) Had an amazing time with my fellow travellers on the truck and made friends along the way - even if those looooong drives on the truck kinda suck
      7) Saw four different countries (Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Tanzania)

      To make a long story short: amazing memories to last a lifetime, great new friends to be seen again and finally saw all the Big Five (gotcha you leopard!) and Ugly Five and invented the Sexy Five (Giraffe, Thomson Gazelle, Cheetah, Flamingo and Zebra).

      Goodbye Africa for now. I will see you later. Asia, here I come.

      Health check

      10 Desember 2019, Tanzania ⋅ 🌧 25 °C

      Investment in health has diminished in Tanzania as overseas debt repayments take priority following IMF restructuring.

      The ingenious local National Health Service is pioneering techniques, following the lead of Dick Turpin, to restore the budget.

      Other NHS agencies take note.

      Samaritan Village Tanzania

      19 Juli 2022, Tanzania ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C

      Die Samaritan Village liegt am südlichen Stadtrand von Arusha.
      Auf dem Gelände finden nicht nur wir ein zu Hause für unseren Urlaub, sondern etwa 70 Kinder von Säuglings- bis in das Erwachsenenalter. Das Gelände beinhaltet eine Menge von den Schlafräumen über einen großen Aufenthaltsort, Feldern mit Gemüse, Hühnern, Schweinen & Rindern und sogar ein Krankenhaus. Wir werden freudig von allen Kindern und Angestellten begrüßt. Im Laufe der Zeit kommen auch die großen Schulkinder, welche auf Bording Secondary Schools gehen für die Ferien nach Hause.Baca selengkapnya
