Tanzania

As Lisa and I have been getting ready for our trip to Tanzania, there have been several different websites that I have been using as references. I have decided to list some of them that have been pretty helpful.

• This is the safari we are going on with a company called Victoria Expeditions in Western Tanzania (Arusha) - see the map. We are going the budget route - think tents, jungle, and Survivor Africa.
• Here is a blog by a Danish woman living in Dar Es Salaam. I came across her blog while looking up Tinga Tinga art.
• If you have 48-hours in Dar - here is the link for you. I'll have 72- hours and the Lonely Planet book I have has a pretty good walking tour around the capital.
• If you are scratching your head trying to figure where Tanzania is - here is a great place to start.
• Some definite souvenirs to bring home - Tinga Tinga Art.
• This is a portion of an independent documentary about the famous carved doors of Zanzibar. It is really interesting.
• One of the exciting elements of traveling to the developing world is the amount of vaccinations one should have prior to leaving. Luckily I got most of them when I went to Vietnam in 2006. Typhoid is one of them. Very interesting side-effects. But, if I was to get Typhoid - there is a pretty impressive list of famous "victims."

We are really excited about the trip and plan on taking a bunch of photos that I will definitely be posting.
