North Travel Blogs

Background: Shortly after independence, Tanganyika and Zanzibar merged to form the nation of Tanzania in 1964. One-party rule came to an end in 1995 with the first democratic elections held in the country since the 1970s. Zanzibar's semi-autonomous status and popular opposition have led to two contentious elections since 1995, which the ruling party won despite international observers' claims of voting irregularities.

Mixing with the locals

 Africa » Tanzania » North » Moshi
I've managed to find an interent cafe to upload some pictures. I may have went a little overboard but I hope you enjoy them. Make sure to check the previous blog as I have added more pics there too. Our homestay was wonderful as I already mentioned. We were made to feel so welcome into Sara's home. She insisted that we called her Mama. She even gave Ashleigh and I PJs to wear to bed. Ben and Ryan were staying at her sisters place but we all ate dinner and breakfast together. Teaching the next day was absolute chaos. Naomi and [View Full Entry]

A different side of life

 Africa » Tanzania » North » Moshi
A short flight from London landed me in Zurich airport where I was due to get a connecting flight to Nairobi. Now with true Swiss efficiency I was unable to board the plane when I arrived at the gate because they had found "something" on the x-ray they took of my bag. Now I was baffled. I'd flown through airports in Australia, America and England but it was only now I was having any trouble. It turned out to be a packed of sparklers. You know the kind that you light on birthdays and other celebrations. So after a little talk [View Full Entry]

DAD & Cindy Were HERE! This blog may be more for my family than anything, especially my one and only younger brother, Steven, and myself .... but I wanted to share with everyone just how fun it was to have my Dad over here in AFRICA over the Christmas holidays.. I still can't believe he and Cindy were actually here...We miss them already more than they will ever realize! We love our Pawpaw Gary & Grandma Cindy so much for being willing to make that long trip and share a little family time with us here in Tanzania... It made the [View Full Entry]

We hated to see him go, but got this picture as close to the New Year's as we could!
Happy New Year!! So many things run through our minds when we do the whole “new years resolution” thing, and reflect on what the past year has brought to us, and what we “vow” to change for the New Year. Why is that? I think it is because we are a people who are never quiet satisfied with who we are and what we are doing. I am too fat, too thin, too short, spend too much time at work, don’t spend enough time working, don’t spend enough time with family, spend too much time watching TV; and the list goes [View Full Entry]

Départ pour Arusha/ Safari

 Africa » Tanzania » North » Arusha
Enfin le départ pour l' expédition. Tout le monde de la maison, sont fatigués. Grand temps pour des vacances. Premier contact avec l' aéroport de Dar; j' ai oublié les consignes de sécurité, croyant peut-être qu' un vol intérieur ne nécessitait pas trop de vigilance ERREUR, bip bip ...oups! cela se termina par un couteau suisse, lime à ongles et deux coupes ongles, et un autre " bidule" suisse tranchant!!!! Jack s' arrangea pour que je récupère mes "gugus" dans une enveloppe transporter par le responsable de la sécurité..... normalement = Goodbye les gugus, cela prend le bord...!!! Je n' avai [View Full Entry]

La ville
Nous sommes enfin arriver a Arusha. L' hotel New Arusha est impec. et le jardin magnifiquement envahi de fleurs tropicales aux couleurs resplendissantes m' incite a photographier de beaux specimens rendant visiblement ma passion pour les plantes et les fleurs bien concrete, indelibile! J' ai moins chaud ici car la temperature est nettement plus fraiche qu' a Dar es Salaam, entendez moi bien je dis plus fraiche et c' est loin d' etre pres du zero, c' est moins humide et confortablement tiede! Meme la chambre d' hotel ne possede pas de "clim". De la rue nous voyons le Mont Neru [View Full Entry]

Fellow Travelers, Family and Friends, I am getting ready to leave on my trip to Tanzania to volunteer for about 4 months find myself overwhelmed with emotion. Put simply, I feel so lucky to have your support. From my days in Scotland to my travels through Europe, each and every one of you has cheered me on. I also feel to blessed to have been made aware of the grace of God - who without a doubt will be a large part of my trip. I thank all the folks on travelblog as well who continue to post informative and inspirational [View Full Entry]

Holiday in the Crater

 Africa » Tanzania » North » Arusha
We have been so blessed by the work and the rewards of seeing the Lord's church growing steadily here in Tanzania! Here it is the holiday season back home and here we are ending the short rains and welcoming in the heat of the african summer... We just dropped off my family at the airport here on Saturday for their return to Texas, after enjoying a good visit and an early Christmas. The kids enjoyed having their Papa Gary, Julie's dad, and grandma Cindy here with us for a short visit. While they were here they wanted to take the kids [View Full Entry]

Mt. Kilimanjaro
Kilimanjaro seen from Moshi, Tanzania
Tanzania is among the most beautiful countries I have visitied, and for good reason: Kilimanjaro, Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Lake Manyara, and Zanzibar Island are only a few of the featured attractions of this East African treasure. My words fall short of realizing her ineffable beauty, but it is my hope that these images will provide a window into the paradise that is Tanzania. [View Full Entry]

It's been a full week here in Tanzania! Monday Night we had our goodbye dinner for Cy & Stephanie as they were departing for the states on Wednesday for their furlough trip back home for the holidays. they will be greatly misses, but we know they will enjoy seeing their families again. Then, Wednesday, Brent was asked to come preach at the Kioga church of Christ, up the side of the mountain, where David & Paulina Bayi, and 2 of our guards, Emmanuel & Jonas, and then where old Blind man Moses lives. Brent and I have always loved this small [View Full Entry]
