When people talk about the Great Migration, the conversation almost always ends up at the Mara River crossing. Crocodiles. Chaos. Television-worthy drama. And while those crossings deserve every bit of their fame, they’re only one chapter of a much bigger story. If you’ve only watched the migration along the river, you’ve skipped the opening act….
Not long before bleisure became the corporate buzzword it is today, I was already trying to master the art of it. Whenever work took me somewhere new, my first thought wasn’t just about meetings and conference rooms. It was, Can I stay one more night? Maybe two? I’d mentally rehearse the conversation with HR before…
SGR left me… Let’s start from the beginning… After spending a few days in Morogoro, it was time to head to Dodoma, completing my SGR tour, which I was ridiculously excited about. Well… I overslept. The train left without me. And just like that, my smooth, organised travel plans disappeared into the sunrise. Luckily, Morogoro…
Blood, sweat and tears… that’s what the Safari Field Challenge feels like when you watch it on the ground. And after going behind the scenes during the filming of its 11th season, I can tell you this: what you see on screen barely scratches the surface. I had the privilege of not just observing the…
It took me an embarrassingly long time to pronounce Edelwyss. I tried. Confidently. Wrong.Tried again. Still wrong. At some point, Theresia, the marketing manager, just laughed and walked me through it, syllable by syllable, until I finally got there. And honestly, that moment sums up Edelwyss Inn perfectly. It’s unfamiliar at first, a little unexpected……
If you’re curious about Tanzania, let Justa tell you about it. Better yet, let her show you. Justa Lujwangana was born in Tanzania and moved to the United States at 12. A decade later, she came back home and, in her words, it felt like she’d hit the jackpot. The landscape, the wildlife, the coastline,…
If you’ve driven the safari circuit in northern Tanzania, chances are you’ve passed through Karatu. Most people treat it as a stopover. Refuel. Stretch. Continue to the main event. I think that’s a mistake. Karatu is more than a pit stop on the way to the big names. It’s the doorway to icons like the…
I’ll be the first to admit it: safaris are breathtaking, but game drives can be… slow! You spend hours scanning the horizon for movement, only for the guide to point solemnly at a distant hillside and declare, “Look, impala.” If you come from the five-year-old-me school of attention spans, that’s a long time to stare…
If you’ve ever wondered what pure African wilderness feels like, unfiltered, undisturbed, and deeply alive, Makubi Safari Camp delivers that moment the second you step out of your safari vehicle. This isn’t just another eco-lodge tucked into the bush. It’s a gateway into the soul of Tanzania’s largest wildlife reserve, Nyerere National Park, where the…
If you’re a woman who loves to travel, let me tell you, there’s something magical about solo trips, especially here in Tanzania. I’ve shared my solo travel stories so many times on social media and in my articles, and honestly? I’m not stopping anytime soon. That feeling of freedom, the rush of liberation, the quiet…
