Approaching the shoreline of <a href="http://news.discovery.com/earth/photographer-rick-brandt-lake-natron-131003.htm" target="_hplink">Lake Natron</a> in Tanzania, <a href="http://www.nickbrandt.com/" target="_hplink">photographer Nick Brandt</a>
faced an eerie sight: There, lying on the earth as still and stiff as
statues, were calcified corpses of a variety of birds and bats that had
met their untimely demise after crashing into the deadly waters. </div>
<div class="content-list-component mt-paragraph text" style="text-align: center;">
“No one knows
for certain exactly how [these animals] die, but it appears that the
extreme reflective nature of the lake’s surface confuses them, causing
them to crash into the lake,” Brandt writes in his new photo book <em><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Across-Ravaged-Land-Nick-Brandt/dp/1419709453/ref=pd_sim_b_1" target="_hplink">Across the Ravaged Land</a></em>.
“The water has an extremely high soda and salt content, so high that it
would strip the ink off my Kodak film boxes within a few seconds. The
soda and salt causes the creatures to calcify, perfectly preserved, as
they dry.” </div>
<div class="content-list-component mt-paragraph text" style="text-align: center;">

<div class="content-list-component mt-paragraph text" style="text-align: center;">
Other than
serving as a breeding area for the endangered Lesser Flamingo and as a
home to certain kinds of algae and bacteria, Lake Natron is inhospitable
to life.</div>
<div class="content-list-component mt-paragraph text" style="text-align: center;">
Blood-red from the bacteria that live in it, the salt lake is steaming hot, with <a href="http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg21929360.100-deadly-lake-turns-animals-into-statues.html#.UksfloakolR" target="_hplink">temperatures that can reach up to 140 degrees Fahrenheit</a>, according to the New Scientist. </div>

<div class="content-list-component mt-paragraph text" style="text-align: center;">
“Discovering
[these animals] washed up along the shoreline of Lake Natron, I thought
they were extraordinary — every last tiny detail perfectly preserved
down to the tip of a bat’s tongue, the minute hairs on his face. The
entire fish eagle was the most surprising and revelatory find,” Brandt,
who photographed these calcified animals in 2010 and 2012, told The
Huffington Post in an email Wednesday. </div>
<div class="content-list-component mt-paragraph text" style="text-align: center;">
The creatures, he said, were “rock hard” from the calcification.</div>
<div class="content-list-component mt-paragraph text" style="text-align: center;">
“There was
never any possibility of bending a wing or turning a head to make a
better pose — they were like rock,” he said, “so we took them and placed
them on branches and rocks just as we found them, always with a view to
imagining it as a portrait in death.” </div>

“The notion of
portraits of dead animals in the place where they once lived, placed in
positions as if alive again in death, was just too compelling to
ignore,” Brandt said of his decision to photograph the animals. “I took
these creatures as I found them on the shoreline, and then placed them
in ‘living’ positions, bringing them back to ‘life’, as it were.
Re-animated, alive again in death.”</div>

Serengeti is not all about animals but the diversity of both plants and
animals, attractive landscape and beautiful scenery as well as the
combination of plants, animals, sky and landscape.

<span id="goog_833202830"></span><span id="goog_833202831"></span>Waziri Wa Maliasili Na Utalii, Profesa Jumanne Maghembe, ameahidi
kuibadili Bodi ya Ushauri ya Chuo cha Taifa cha Utalii na kuifanya kuwa
Bodi ya Utawala.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Lengo la mabadiliko hayo ni kuhakikisha Chuo
Cha Utalii Cha Taifa kinatoa wataalamu wenye sifa na viwango stahiki
wanaokubalika ndani na nje ya nchi kufanya kazi.</div>
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="text-align: justify;">
Waziri Maghembe ametoa kauli hiyo jana alipotembelea chuo hicho na
kuangalia namna ya kuboresha na kukifanya kiwe cha ushindani.<br />
Aidha, Prof.Maghembe ameutaka uongozi wa chuo kuondoa jina la wakala wa
chuo cha utalii ambalo limekuwa likitumika na chuo hicho badala yake
kiitwe chuo cha taifa cha utalii ili kionyeshe hadhi yake kitaifa na
kimataifa huku akisisitizia suala la ubunifu katika uendeshaji na
kuongeza mapato badala ya kulalamika kukabiliwa na changamoto nyingi
ambazo chuo kingeweza kuzitatua.<br />
Pia , Waziri Maghembe amekitaka
chuo hicho kuwa mfano kwa kuwafundisha wanafunzi kuwa na maadili mazuri
kwa kuwa wengi wao wa wahitimu wamekuwa na sifa za udokozi hivyo
kuwafanya watu wenye mahoteli kuajiri wafanyakazi kutoka nje ili kuepuka
fedheha kwa wageni<br />
‘’Baadhi ya wahudumu katika hoteli zetu
wamekuwa na tabia ya udokozi hii ni sifa mbaya kwa wageni kwani
huharibu taswira ya hoteli‘’</div>

<div class="blog-component" id="blog-post-body">
<em>It rules over the sky – Kilimanjaro, Africa’s
highest mountain, distinguished by its three distinctive volcanic cones.
First conquered in 1889 by Hans Meyer and Ludwig Purtscheller, it has
called adventurers to its base ever since. And that’s just where G
Adventures traveller and soon-to-be-newlywed Sarah Manion found herself
last spring, standing on the precipice of a grand adventure. This is her
story of ascending to the fabled “roof of Africa.”</em><br />
<figure><img alt="Kilimajaro calls adventurers to its base." height="360" src="https://media.gadventures.com/media-server/dynamic/blogs/posts/admin/2016/05/sarah1.jpg" width="640" /><figcaption><h1>
<span style="font-size: small;">Kilimajaro calls adventurers to its base.</span></h1>
</figcaption></figure>What
we were about to do didn’t sink in until we were on the plane from
Amsterdam to Arusha. I looked out the window over the clouds and
repeated the name in my head: <a href="https://www.gadventures.com/travel-styles/active/hiking-trekking/kilimanjaro/ref=body">Kilimanjaro</a>.<br />
We’d never even come close to doing anything like this. I’d been
through Europe; my fiancé, JP, had ridden bikes through central America;
and together, we’d been to Southeast Asia and a handful of beaches. But
this was on a different level. We’d yet to say it out loud, but it
wasn’t hard to see the correlation between this daunting adventure to
the roof of Africa and the fact we were getting married in about six
weeks.<br />
Holy blatant metaphor.<br />
<figure><img alt="We’d never even come close to doing anything like this." height="640" src="https://media.gadventures.com/media-server/dynamic/blogs/posts/admin/2016/05/sarah2.jpg" width="426" /><figcaption><h1>
<span style="font-size: small;">We’d never even come close to doing anything like this.</span></h1>
</figcaption></figure>We
met our group and Kenny, our Chief Experience Officer (CEO), in the
quaint town of Moshi. What had just begun to seem real on the plane was
now a physical tightening in my stomach, brought on by our first glimpse
of the mountain; so high and wide, it was its own landscape – its own
planet.<br />
We’d opted to trek the <a href="https://www.gadventures.com/trips/mt-kilimanjaro-trek-marangu-route/608/">Marangu Route</a>
– at five days, the shortest of the options available. Our journey took
us across fields and other areas Kenny called “moorlands.” We hiked
over rocky passes and even through a rainforest, almost always uphill.<br />
Truth be told, I hadn’t expected to encounter a rainforest on
Kilimanjaro, but it was probably the most pleasant introduction to the
mountain and its environment possible. A light rain had started to fall a
few minutes before we entered the canopy, and for the next five hours,
our group walked and talked and got to know each other, sheltered under a
gorgeous leafy green roof as the storm rolled past overhead.<br />
On our route, Kilimanjaro sort of pounces upon you. Past the
rainforest, we hiked around a bend and suddenly boom: there she was, lit
up by sunbeams peeking through the clouds. That first glimpse is
burned into my mind like a mental postcard. You look at it, off in the
distance, and the first thing you think is, "I’m going to climb that.”
The second thing you think is, “Holy moly. How am I even going to get
there?”<br />
The first night was magical, but it had nothing to do with the
mountain. We set up our camp in the dark (the crew provided headlamps)
and then disappeared. A few minutes later, they came back bearing our
night’s meal – delicious, warm, and satisfying after a long day on foot.
And plentiful; the food just kept coming, leaving us wondering how on
earth they managed to carry it all up here.<br />
<figure><img alt="Morning coffee on Kilimanjaro." height="359" src="https://media.gadventures.com/media-server/dynamic/blogs/posts/admin/2016/05/sarah3.jpg" width="640" /><figcaption><h1>
<span style="font-size: small;">Morning coffee on Kilimanjaro.</span></h1>
</figcaption></figure>On
a trek like this, your experience is only as good as the people who
help you get there. In our case, we were blessed with a team of
charming, knowledgeable CEOs and porters who saw it as their duty to get
us to the top in the best spirits possible. They set a pace for us that
was relaxed and comfortable, ensuring that the group stayed together
and nobody fell behind. This had as much to do with safety as it did
with building camaraderie; the slow pace helped us acclimate to our
surroundings and pass the time with conversation and jokes. What’s the
point of doing something like this if you’re not having a good time?<br />
<figure><img alt="Kilimanjaro support team greets the dawn." height="360" src="https://media.gadventures.com/media-server/dynamic/blogs/posts/admin/2016/05/sarah4.jpg" width="640" /><figcaption><h1>
<span style="font-size: small;">Kilimanjaro support team greets the dawn.</span></h1>
</figcaption></figure>The
challenge for me wasn’t in the terrain or the altitude, but in the
unknown of what lay ahead. Nothing was consistent. The sun shone for a
while, and then it got cloudy. Then it rained. Then it was foggy. The
temperature. The terrain. Hungry some moments and anxious others. After a
while, though, you get used to it and accept it as part of the
experience. If climbing one of the world’s Seven Summits were easy, it
wouldn’t be an accomplishment, right?<br />
JP and I almost always walked together, but I learned that when
you’re doing something as challenging as this, there are times when
you’re just alone with your thoughts. Kenny was so caring, visiting each
of us in the group periodically to gauge how we were feeling and
encouraging us to continue. Our porters were inspiring too, carrying
everything the group needed in a way that seemed almost effortless.<br />
<figure><img alt="The trek felt deeply personal and I thought if it resembled marriage in any way, we were off to quite a start." height="359" src="https://media.gadventures.com/media-server/dynamic/blogs/posts/admin/2016/05/sarah5.jpg" width="640" /><br />

</figcaption></figure>How
do you describe the moment when you’re watching the sunrise from the
highest point on a continent? You just can’t. You can look at pictures
and read books, but nothing – nothing – can prepare you for what it’s
really like to stand there and gaze down at how far you’ve come.<br />

<div class="mol-para-with-font">
<span style="font-size: 1.2em;">It
was previously thought that the footprints dated back as far as 120,000

following the eruption of a nearby volcano.</span></div>

research team has now been able to date them more accurately after
discovering that a muddy flow of debris and ash from the volcano's sides
was responsible.</span></div>

The Zanzibari culture is a rare mix of Omani, African and Indian
influences, dating back centuries to rulers and traders from India. The
Omani and Indian influence on the language and food is readily
noticeable with striking similarity in words and the use of cooking
spices. The Tanzanian hospitality and friendliness of the local people
is unique to this land and something sure to amaze a traveller.

milima, mabonde, mito, wanyama, maziwa, bahari, visiwa, madini ya kila
aina na watu wake wakarimu; yote haya yanaifanya Tanzania kusifika kwa
uzuri wake huku kitovu cha amani kikiwa ndio tunu pekee ya taifa hilo.<a href="http://mtembezi.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/mount-kilimanjaro.jpg"><img alt="mount-kilimanjaro" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-43638 td-animation-stack-type0-1" src="http://mtembezi.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/mount-kilimanjaro.jpg" height="220" width="640" /></a><br />
Katika vipengele tisa vya Tuzo za Dunia
za Mashindano ya Utalii (WTA) kwa mwaka 2016 zinazotarajiwa kutolewa
Disemba 2 mwaka huu huko nchini Maldives, nchi ya Tanzania tayari
imesajili vivutio vyake 10 ili kuchuana na nchi nyingine katika tuzo
hizo.
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
Msemaji wa Bodi ya Utalii nchini (TTB),
Geofrey Tengeneza amesema “Pazia limefunguliwa tangu Septemba 23 na
litafungwa Oktoba 24. Kila Mtanzania anaweza kupiga kura kwa kuitembelea
tovuti ya WTA na kupiga kura kwenye vipengele vya dunia na Afrika ili
kuuleta ushindi nyumbani”.<a href="http://mtembezi.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Zebras_Serengeti_savana_plains_Tanzania.jpg"><img alt="serengeti" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-43640 td-animation-stack-type0-1" src="http://mtembezi.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Zebras_Serengeti_savana_plains_Tanzania.jpg" height="345" width="640" /></a>Kwa uchache vipengele ambavyo Tanzania imeviorodhesha ni pamoja na <b>nchi bora ya kuitembelea</b>, <b>ufukwe na kisiwa bora zaidi</b> (Zanzibar), <b>hoteli ya kifahari na kampuni ya utunzaji wa mazingira</b>.
</h4>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
Chema chajiuza kwani uzuri wa Tanzania
haufichiki, ni wakati wako sasa mtanzania mzalendo kupiga kura kupitia
tovuti ya WTA ili Tanzania itwae tuzo hizi.</h4>

<div itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: justify;">
This week conservationists, policymakers and
business representatives are gathered for the 2017 Conference of the
Parties for the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species,
or <a class="c6" href="https://www.cites.org/">CITES</a>, which runs through Oct. 5 in Johannesburg, South Africa. </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: justify;">
What’s
at stake are some major decisions about ivory sales — whether to open
them up or whether to encourage the 181 CITES signatories to close their
domestic ivory trade. </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: justify;">
The domestic ivory ban is a key objective for conservationists, including the <a class="c6" href="https://www.clintonfoundation.org/clinton-global-initiative/about-us/action-networks/elephants-action-network">Elephants Action Network</a>,
which met at the Clinton Global Initiative annual meeting last week, to
discuss next steps in their work to stop the killing and trafficking of
elephants, and to stop the demand for ivory. </div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: justify;">
They were responding in part to the <a class="c6" href="http://www.greatelephantcensus.com/">Great Elephant Census</a> report
released last month by Vulcan Inc., a Seattle-based company started by
Microsoft co-founder and billionaire philanthropist Paul Allen, which
was followed up by the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s
African Elephant Status Report, <a class="c6" href="https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/09/160926151854.htm">launched at CITES</a>. Both found that elephant populations are declining dramatically: At the rate of one every 15 minutes.</div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: justify;">
For
countries such as Kenya and Tanzania that rely on elephants in their
tourism sectors, that is especially significant. A 2014 report conducted
by the iworry campaign, an elephant awareness campaign by the David
Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, found that living elephants are worth <a class="c6" href="https://news.mongabay.com/2014/10/elephants-worth-much-much-more-alive-than-dead-says-new-report/">76 times more</a> than
dead elephants. One elephant could bring in more than $1.6 million in
tourism dollars in its lifetime, according to that report. And because
the ivory trade is dominated by criminal syndicates, it creates other
challenges as it funnels dirty money into political systems or drug,
human, and arms trafficking cartels. </div>

<div class="story-body-text" data-para-word-count="30" style="text-align: justify;">
Arusha — Perched on
the slopes of an extinct volcano within the Ngorongoro highlands in
Arusha Region is a tourist camp that redefines how to sustain the
billion dollar industry.</div>
<div class="story-body-text" data-para-word-count="34" style="text-align: justify;">
The highlands, as
the camp is known, are positioned in the reclusive high altitude
wilderness, yet when there one has the view of the famous Ngorongoro
Crater and the endless plains of the Serengeti.</div>
<div class="story-body-text" data-para-word-count="37" style="text-align: justify;">
The views of Olmoti
and Empakaai crater lakes and volcanic mountains within the highlands,
such as Oldonyo Lengai, are quite stunning. The camp and similar outfits
are most preferred accommodation facilities because they match the
natural environment.</div>
<div class="story-body-text" data-para-word-count="46" style="text-align: justify;">
The place is among
the 11 tourist camps run by the Arusha-based Asilia Lodges, Camps and
Safaris Limited. The company has distinguished itself not only in
selling the country's rich tourist attractions to the world but in
putting into practice the new concept that redefines tourism.</div>
<div class="story-body-text" data-para-word-count="41" style="text-align: justify;">
Recently, eight of
the nine company's camps were declared winners of the global award in
responsible tourism becoming the first local company to be recognised
for best practices in the category that is not only
environmentally-friendly, but also benefits surrounding communities.</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div class="story-body-text" data-para-word-count="34" style="text-align: justify;">
The outfits managed
by the company across the country - most of them are in the northern
zone - were through a rigorous audit by Responsible Tourism Tanzania
(RTTZ), an organisation based in Arusha.</div>
<div class="story-body-text" data-para-word-count="49" style="text-align: justify;">
At the end of the
exercise, Asilia has been picked for the top award offered every two
years since 2013 for tour firms that excel in running tourism projects
that benefit local communities, enhanced conservation and use of green
energy and support income generating activities for the local people.</div>
<div class="story-body-text" data-para-word-count="64" style="text-align: justify;">
Responsible tourism
is a new concept in the sector and although it was coined not many
years ago, it is increasingly gathering momentum in Tanzania given the
country's wildlife and nature tourism. The onus of this type of tourism
is to ensure that tourism and tourists do not affect wildlife that
visitors come to see. Its mantra is: "Take only photographs, leave only
footprints."</div>
<div class="story-body-text" data-para-word-count="40" style="text-align: justify;">
Responsible tourism
not only focuses on nature, but also acknowledges that local people
living around the tourist sites have to benefit from tourism or rather
make better places for people to live in and better places for people to
visit.</div>
<div class="story-body-text" data-para-word-count="21" style="text-align: justify;">
Responsible tourism
was defined in Cape Town in 2002 during the World Summit on Sustainable
Development in South Africa that year.</div>
<div class="story-body-text" data-para-word-count="39" style="text-align: justify;">
Key areas of
responsible tourism include minimising negative economic, environmental
and social impacts, generate greater economic benefits for local people
and enhance the well-being of host communities and make positive
contributions to the conservation of natural and cultural heritage.</div>
<div class="story-body-text" data-para-word-count="33" style="text-align: justify;">
Responsible Tourism
Tanzania, also known as RTTZ, says eight of the nine camps with the
company, which were subjected to auditing attains a "Three Level"
category, the highest level of certification currently available.</div>
<div class="story-body-text" data-para-word-count="33" style="text-align: justify;">
The camps are also
the first in Tanzania to be added to the itineraries offered by the new
partnership between RTTZ and Fair Trade Tourism (FTT), a global leader
in sustainable tourism standards.</div>
<div class="story-body-text" data-para-word-count="28" style="text-align: justify;">
They are Sayari,
Oliver's, Little Oliver's, Namiri, Dunia, Kimondo, Olakira and Ubuntu
and, according to the auditors, Asilia is the first company in Tanzania
to achieve the accolade.</div>
<div class="story-body-text" data-para-word-count="60" style="text-align: justify;">
"They have proven
that their working culture and daily operations are fully integrated
into a sustainable and responsible management approach," RTTZ director
Damian Bell said, adding that the audit results could position Tanzania
among the major players of responsible tourism in Africa. A mutual
recognition agreement between RTTZ and FTT aims at enhancing awareness
of the importance of responsible tourism.</div>
<div class="story-body-text" data-para-word-count="32" style="text-align: justify;">
According to him,
the partnership with FTT in setting benchmark standards in sustainable
tourism is also aimed at positioning Tanzania as a major player in the
growth of responsible tourism in Africa.</div>
<div class="story-body-text" data-para-word-count="48" style="text-align: justify;">
Asilia was
established in Arusha in 2004 at the time investors from overseas came
to Tanzania to revive tourism, which had been severely affected by the
economic down turn of the 1980s. Currently, the company has 650
employees, 80 of them recruited from villages close to the camps.</div>
<div class="story-body-text" data-para-word-count="22" style="text-align: justify;">
"Our mission is to
encourage and promote more sustainable tourism in Tanzania," said Mr
Jeroen Harderwijk, the company's managing director and co-founder.</div>
<div class="story-body-text" data-para-word-count="35" style="text-align: justify;">
He added that
Asilia was the first and only African safari company to achieve a
five-star rating from the Global Impact Investing Rating System (GIIRS)
and was graded at platinum level for its impact model.</div>
<div class="story-body-text" data-para-word-count="39" style="text-align: justify;">
Other recent awards
attained by Asilia include a Global Sustainable Business Award offered
by the World Travel and Tourism Council (2014) and Gold Award for the
Mara Naboisho Conservancy offered by the African Responsible Tourism
Awards in Cape Town.</div>

Tanzania has some of the most iconic safari destinations. The Rift
Valley, Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti are all on the so-called
Northern Safari Circuit and enjoy many thousands of visitors. So is it
really possible to holiday here in quiet areas away from the crowds? If
you follow some simple rules, it is.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>1. Don’t follow the herds</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The wildebeest migration follows an annual cycle seeking out the best
grazing. They head to the north of the Serengeti between June and
October and to the south from December to March.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="Elephants in Northern Serengeti from Lamai Camp" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-53455" height="385" src="http://www.aluxurytravelblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Elephants-in-Northern-Serengeti-from-Lamai-Camp.jpg" width="460" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Serengeti has fantastic resident wildlife even when the herds are
elsewhere. So head north in our Winter and south in our Summer. You’ll
see a rich diversity of animals and few other people – game viewing at
its finest.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>2. Stay on the east of the rim</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Ngorongoro Crater is both scenically beautiful and a wildlife
haven. Its open plains make game viewing relatively easy and the variety
of species make it a rewarding experience. Most visitors descend into
the Crater in the morning down the western ‘descent road’. They stay for
the day and then exit on the southern ‘ascent road’ in the afternoon.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="Lemala vehicle with zebra in Ngorongoro Crater" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-53457" height="385" src="http://www.aluxurytravelblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Lemala-vehicle-with-zebra-in-Ngorongoro-Crater.jpg" width="460" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The smarter safari goer stays on the east of the Crater rim and
follows a traditional safari day with a morning and afternoon game
drive. Not only do you start and finish your drives in an area with
fewer visitors, but your timings mean you avoid the busier times of day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>3. Visit the south of Lake Manyara National Park</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lake Manyara National Park offers visitors a variety of habitats with
forests, open grasslands, rocky cliffs and lake frontage. In turn these
mean a rich diversity of animals and birdlife. For most a visit here is
a short one, crammed into a day’s drive between Arusha and the
Ngorongoro Crater. That only allows a brief game drive in the north of
the park and misses out many of the interesting sectors.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="Lake Manyara Tree Lodge bedroom and verandah" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-53456" height="385" src="http://www.aluxurytravelblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Lake-Manyara-Tree-Lodge-bedroom-and-verandah.jpg" width="460" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The astute will stay in the south of the park, or in a nearby lodge that allows an entry via the southern gate.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>4. Stay south, way south</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Access to the northern wildlife reserves is easy. A road runs between
Arusha and the Serengeti, and in fact onward to Lake Victoria. This
means easier access for more people.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="Selous Reserve Tanzania boating on Rufiji River" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-53458" height="385" src="http://www.aluxurytravelblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Selous-Reserve-Tanzania-boating-on-Rufiji-River.jpg" width="460" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In contrast the reserves of the south, Selous and Ruaha, are
typically fly-in destinations only. While the wildlife is excellent and
more safari activities, such as walking and boats, are possible, visitor
numbers are way lower.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>5. Mainland coast, not Zanzibar</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With fine white sandy beaches, clear blue seas, an evocative name,
and historical links to Freddie Mercury, what’s not to like about
Zanzibar. There’s lots to like, but the well informed head north or
south from Dar Es Salaam to Tanzania’s mainland coast. Typically
mainland properties sit on their own, offering miles and miles of beach
with no need to share with anyone else.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="Tanzania beach from Tides Lodge" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-53459" height="385" src="http://www.aluxurytravelblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Tanzania-beach-from-Tides-Lodge.jpg" width="459" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A safari in Tanzania won’t disappoint, but if you get it right it’s
likely to be ‘the best holiday ever’. Take one or more of these tips and
you’ll see Tanzania away from the crowds and get a sense of
satisfaction a standard tour just won’t provide.</div>

Tanzania is the quintessential African safari destination. Vast
swathes of land are given over to national parks and game reserves,
where animals roam freely through grassland, marshes, rivers and jungle.
The Great Migration sees the Serengeti burst to life as millions of
wildebeest move across the land, watched hungrily by lion, cheetah,
leopard, wild dog and crocodiles. From remote camps you can head out on
foot to track chimpanzees. In the Selous Game Reserve, boats take you
along the Rufiji River, passing hippo, yellow-billed storks and colobus
monkeys. Tanzania is a country you can return to time and again and
still see something new. Below are five of its best wildlife
experiences.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>The Great Migration in Serengeti National Park</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Great Migration sees huge herds of wildebeest, zebra and gazelle
follow the path of the rain between Kenya’s Masai Mara and Serengeti
National Park, in the north of Tanzania. To see the phenomenon in the
Serengeti, you’ll need to visit between November and July. Wildebeest
have their young here between December and March, and you can watch the
calves take their first tentative steps and graze on the plains.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="Ngorongoro Conservation Area" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-56001" height="385" src="http://www.aluxurytravelblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Ngorongoro-Conservation-Area.jpg" width="460" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Arguably the most defining moment during the migration are the
treacherous river crossings. The herds often wait for weeks before
plucking up the courage to swim across the crocodile-infested waters.
While luck plays a large role, your best chance of witnessing a crossing
is visiting the northern Serengeti in July, when herds begin to cross
the Mara River.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The vast number of wildebeest attracts big cats like lion, leopard
and cheetah, who rarely go unfed. Staying in Namiri Plains, in central
Serengeti, presents fantastic opportunities for big cat sightings. Now a
tented camp, its location was a cheetah research base for 20 years, so
the surrounding area has large densities of cheetah and lion.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>Secluded river safaris in Selous Game Reserve </strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One of Tanzania’s largest protected areas, Selous is a quiet
wilderness that feels completely undiscovered. Situated in the south of
the country, it’s home to Africa’s biggest populations of buffalo and
lion, as well as healthy numbers of leopard and wild dog.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="Lion, Selous Game Reserve" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-56002" height="385" src="http://www.aluxurytravelblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Lion-Selous-Game-Reserve.jpg" width="460" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Staying in Selous, you’ve the chance to step away from 4×4 game
drives and focus on alternative safari experiences. Tracking animals on
foot with an expert guide opens your eyes to smaller creatures you may
not otherwise spot and brings you closer to nature than sitting in a
vehicle.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can also go out on boat trips along the Rufiji River, which runs
through the middle of the reserve. From the water, you may see baboons
sitting on the banks, hippo cooling off from the heat and crocodiles
basking in the sun.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Giraffe stop to quench their thirst, and blue samango and black and
white colobus monkeys rustle in the trees. You’ll also spot many bird
species sitting on low-hanging branches, including vibrant malachite
kingfishers and finch-like weavers making nests in the high riverbanks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lake Manze Camp offers authenticity and comfort in the heart of the
reserve. Animals are free to roam through the camp, situated on the
shores of Lake Manze, and each tent has a private patio where you can
sit and watch the wildlife after a boat safari, game drive or bush walk.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>Elephant herds in Tarangire National Park</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Up in the northeast of Tanzania, just south of Lake Manyara,
Tarangire is best visited during the dry season (August to October).
This is when the Tarangire River becomes the area’s only major source of
water, attracting thirsty animals from across the Maasai Steppe.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="Elephant in Tarangire National Park" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-56003" height="385" src="http://www.aluxurytravelblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Elephant-in-Tarangire.jpg" width="460" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You’ll have excellent views of the buffalo, giraffe, zebra,
wildebeest and warthog congregating in large numbers along the
riverbanks. These, in turn, attract predators like lion, cheetah and
hyena. It’s also one of the best areas in Tanzania for birdwatching,
with over 550 species recorded around the river, grasslands, woodlands
and lush swamps.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Most notably, the river draws huge herds of elephant, sometimes 100
strong. Watching the elephant drink and splash around in the water
provides endless entertainment. A number of camps have been set up with
views directly over the river or waterholes, so you can also watch
elephant and other wildlife from your deck.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oliver’s Camp is situated close to the Minyonyo Pools and Silale
Swamps in a remote part of the park. Each luxurious tent has its own
deck where you can sit and watch for passing wildlife. Activities on
offer include game drives, night drives and walking safaris.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>Black rhino spotting in the Ngorongoro Crater </strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Created some three million years ago when a volcano erupted and
collapsed in on itself, the Ngorongoro Crater is the largest intact,
unflooded caldera in the world. Stretching 20 km across, sinking 600 m
deep and spanning a total area of 300 sq km, it’s situated in the wider
Ngorongoro Conservation Area, which borders the south of the Serengeti.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="Black rhino, Ngorongoro Crater" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-56004" height="385" src="http://www.aluxurytravelblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Black-rhino-Ngorongoro-Crater.jpg" width="460" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Within the crater’s steep, rainforest-covered walls is a dense
wildlife population of around 25,000 animals, including the endangered
black rhino, lion, elephant, wildebeest, hippo, buffalo, hyena, leopard,
cheetah, zebra and many birds. As the walls act as a natural enclosure
and water is usually plentiful, most animals stay in the crater
year-round.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
During the green season (December to April), thousands of flamingos
congregate around Lake Magadi within the crater, creating a sea of pink.
However, it’s the elusive black rhino that are the area’s main draw.
Sightings aren’t guaranteed, but this is the best place to spot them in
Tanzania.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Predominantly solitary creatures, you can head out with a guide to
track rhino on foot, watching from a distance as they forage and chew on
leafy plants.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Camps and lodges in the area offer both game drives and walking
safaris into the crater to see the rhino and other wildlife. The
luxurious Ngorongoro Crater Lodge is set on the crater’s rim, looking
out on sweeping views over the crater floor. Staying here, you’ll have
easy access to the crater, with the chance to explore it before others
arrive. With a good pair of binoculars, you can view wildlife from your
veranda.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>Chimpanzee tracking in Mahale Mountains National Park</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the far west of Tanzania, the Mahale Mountains slope up
dramatically from the blue water and palm-fringed beaches of Lake
Tanganyika. This is an incredibly wild, remote area, where dense montane
forest provides a habitat to snuffling warthog, vibrant bee-eaters and
shrieking monkeys.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="Chimpanzee, Mahale Mountains National Park" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-56005" height="385" src="http://www.aluxurytravelblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Chimpanzee-Mahale-Mountains-National-Park.jpg" width="460" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Around 1,000 chimpanzees are found in the expanse of trees, making
this the best place to see them in the whole of Africa. Living in
troops, they’re some of the continent’s only survivors in the wild.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One of the troops, while still wild, has been habituated to humans.
You can head out with a guide to track it, hiking through the forest
along sloping tracks until you hear chimpanzees’ calls. You then spend
time observing them grooming, drinking and playing, as you crouch just a
short distance away.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The park is only accessible by charter flight, after which you’ll
take a boat to your camp. Very few permits for tracking the chimpanzees
are available each year, so the whole experience feels exclusive and
intimate.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The proximity of the lake also means you can spend time on the beach,
go kayaking or snorkel amongst the hundreds of cichlid fish living in
the water.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Six journalists
from Germany are in Ruvuma Region on a three-day tour to raise funds for
energising the anti-poaching campaign in Selous National Park.
</div>
<div class="story-body-text" data-para-word-count="33" style="text-align: justify;">
Speaking to The
Citizen on Tuesday, World Wildlife Fund (WWF) representative Mr Johannes
Kirchgater, said the tour is also part of efforts to open up the
Southern Zone tourism circuit to the world.</div>
<div class="story-body-text" data-para-word-count="17" style="text-align: justify;">
Mr Kirchgater added that besides using journalists, WWF will use social media, including Youtube, to attract tourists.</div>
<div class="story-body-text" data-para-word-count="21" style="text-align: justify;">
"We are targeting
more than three million people who are watching Youtube as we seek funds
for conservations," Mr Kirchgater said.</div>
<div class="story-body-text" data-para-word-count="28" style="text-align: justify;">
A Namtumbo District
Wildlife Officer, Mr Ernest Nomba, said the lack of vehicles, personnel
and weapons are some of the drawbacks in the anti-poaching campaign in
the Park.</div>
<div class="story-body-text" data-para-word-count="16" style="text-align: justify;">
He called on wananchi living in the neighbourhood of the park not to collaborate with poachers.</div>
<div class="story-body-text" data-para-word-count="18" style="text-align: justify;">
According to Aerial
Census Survey for Elephants conducted in 2014, about 10,000 elephants
in Ruaha-Rungwa ecosystem have disappeared.</div>
<div class="story-body-text" data-para-word-count="28" style="text-align: justify;">
However, the survey
also shows that in Selous Game Reserve, the world's largest conserved
area with about 55,000 square kilometres, has increased to 15,217 from
13,000 in 2013.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
REVENUE from the tourism sector and tourist arrivals have steadily
increased by 17 and 2.4 per cent respectively from June to August
compared to the same period last year.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A report by the Ministry of Natural
Resources and Tourism on the status of the business in the sector and
revenues from tourism, indicates that a total of 67.87m/- was earned
during the past three months whereas 57.96m/- was collected during the
same period last year.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The number of tourists who visited
several national parks during the period also climbed up to 348,547
against 340,308 recorded the previous year. The report notes that the
success serves as proof that Value Added Tax (VAT) on tourism services,
introduced starting this financial year, has no effect on the sector as
stakeholders, including legislators and MPs, had projected.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The VAT will be charged on tourist
guiding, game driving, water safaris, animal or bird watching, national
park fees and ground transport services.</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When debating the 2016/17 budget
estimates in the National Assembly, some MPs raised concern that
enforcement of VAT on tourism services would kill the booming industry.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They suggested that the move would not
only affect the tourism industry, but also benefit neighbouring Kenya
which also has similar attractions as Tanzania, but has dropped such
taxes after realising that it had affected their tourism sector
negatively last year.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The report, which was released
yesterday, shows that the monthly revenues for June, July and August was
12.99m/-, 22.82m/-, 22.15m/- respectively for last year while this
year, the monthly earnings were 15.12m/-, 25.58m/- and 27.15m/-.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tourists interviewed seemed not to be
aware of VAT imposed on the services, with some even wondering why the
government was not charging the tax.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, a few of them expressed their
feelings against the VAT because while they initially expected to pay 50
US dollars, they now cough up 70.8 US dollars after introduction of the
tax.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To maintain the increased number of
tourists, the Tanzania National Parks (TANAPA) has planned to set up
better service centres, tourism sinks or picnic sites and signposts to
improve the parks and make them more attractive.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The report says that the next plans
would also consider introduction of a new Mount Kilimanjaro climbing
facility by using a cable and put in place rescue services using
helicopters.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This year, TANAPA also looks forward to
intensify campaigns through the international media and participate in
various international tourist exhibitions to market the country’s
tourist attractions internationally.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This would include inviting 50
international tourist agents and 50 journalists to visit the country’s
tourist sites annually. Marketing the country’s tourist attractions
would be done with other institutions such as the Tanzania Tourist Board
(TTB). Implementation of the new strategies has already started.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Furthermore, TANAPA is set to conduct
online training for tourist agents in Germany to enable them understand
the country’s tourist attractions. Another measure would be to pick a
country’s representative in US who would promote Tanzania’s tourism
there.</div>

Nations and environmental groups have agreed to shut down the domestic
ivory trade, despite the resolution nearly being derailed by objections
from countries including Japan and South Africa.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Following three days <a class="u-underline" data-link-name="in body link" href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2016/sep/10/ivory-trade-ban-international-summit-hawaii">of political maneuvering</a>,
disagreements and walkouts, delegates at the International Union for
Conservation of Nature (IUCN) congress in Hawaii agreed on a text that
calls on countries to close the internal trade of ivory “as a matter of
urgency”.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The <a class="u-underline" data-link-name="in body link" href="https://portals.iucn.org/congress/motion/007">motion</a>
holds no legal power but conservationists hope it will spur countries
to ban the sale of ivory within their own borders, to help stem the
rampant poaching of elephants. The international trade in ivory has been
banned since 1989 but in many countries, including the US, UK and
China, domestic trade is still allowed for antiques.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“The shutting down of domestic ivory markets will send a clear signal
to traffickers and organized criminal syndicates that ivory is
worthless and will no longer support their criminal activities causing
security problems in local communities and wiping out wildlife,” said
Cristian Samper, chief executive of the Wildlife <a class="u-underline" data-component="auto-linked-tag" data-link-name="auto-linked-tag" href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/conservation">Conservation</a> Society.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
“The
movement behind Africa’s elephants gives us all hope and will ensure
that the elephant will continue to be a vital part of Africa’s
magnificent natural heritage.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The domestic ban was backed by most of the 217 state and national
members of IUCN, as well as 1,000 conservation groups that are part of
the union. But a band of countries, including Japan, Namibia and South
Africa, argued that domestic markets should be better regulated rather
than shut down.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was hoped that consensus would be achieved on Saturday, only for
Japan and Namibia to propose a number of amendments that would have
watered down the resolution so it would merely call for nations to
regulate themselves.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, representatives from countries including Uganda, Cameroon
and Kenya spoke forcefully in favor of a ban. A majority of delegates
then voted in favor. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Andrew Wetzler, deputy chief program officer at the Natural Resources
Defense Council, said he hoped that a meeting of nations at the
Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (Cites) in
Johannesburg later this month would reinforce the commitment to close
domestic ivory markets. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Today’s vote by IUCN members is the first time that a major
international body has called on every country in the world to close its
legal markets for elephant ivory,” he said. “It’s truly a landmark
moment, and a victory for elephants.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The first <a class="u-underline" data-link-name="in body link" href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2016/aug/31/poaching-drives-huge-30-decline-in-africas-savannah-elephants">continent-wide census</a>
of Africa’s savanna elephants found that nearly a third were wiped out
between 2007 and 2014. Poachers target the animals to supply ivory from
their tusks in Asia. Gangs can get $1,100 per kilogram for ivory in
China, which announced last year it would shut down its own domestic
market.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Even though the international trade in ivory has been banned for more
than 25 years, a flourishing black market has led to the slaughter of
elephants, as well as the people charged with protecting them</div>
