Tanzania Testimonial

Lisbeth and Pär Alm

In February 2006 the time was right and 25 people went to Tanzania to see some of the best the country has to offer. We started out from Landvetter in Gothenburg and arrived at Kilimanjaro airport in Arusha. Even though we hadn’t slept much during the night on the plane we went on safari » read more

Tanzania 2006

To go on a journey to Tanzania, the heart of Africa, isn’t like anything else. It is a whole different experience, unlike any charter tour to the islands of Greece or Tenerife. I have always felt that the place was somehow mythical since my grandparents » read more

Pontus and Johan

”It’s a dream coming true for a twelve-year-old to go to Tanzania”. We were well prepared. We had read a lot about all the animals and studied some Swahili (for example the names of the animals). It is naturally more fun if you are able to understand some of what is said. The safari » read more

To get the opportunity to go to Tanzania, with all experiences awaiting you feels big. Our journey began at Landvetter in Gothenburg in cold and slushy weather. After a few intermediate landings we reached Arusha in Tanzania and were greeted by the warmth of summer. It was » read more

The days and nights in Serengeti national park were filled with amazing wild animals. I have seen cheetahs walking beside the jeep before sunrise and a newborn antelope on unsteady legs rise for the first time. I will never forget that. Neither will I I forget the cicada concerts » read more

Margareta and Erland

My wife Margareta and I (Erland) try to make a long voyage each year. What interests us most is nature and people but culture as well as it is about how people have lived and live today. In late winter/early spring of 2009 we got the opportunity to participate in an “Adventure journey” » read more

No voyage has remained in my thoughts as much as the one I made to Tanzania. For me the word connected with this trip is perspective, a new and widened perspective. Not only did I look down the Ngorogoro crater realizing that the tiny grey shadows on the ground were big hords of gnus. I also » read more

A journey through a land without roads

We drove and drove but there was no road. Sometimes I thought I could make out the wheel tracks our car followed in the dust. We were going to make a visit to a man named Mohja and his family. He had worked at the “Swedish school” when it was at Tazengwa.

2006 was a dry year in » read more

The journey to Tanzania 2007

My strongest memories are the visits to Nzega and Nkinga. I will never forget when we ate at the pizza place in Mwanza run by an organization for homeless children. A traveller that really needed to visit a toilet was told by the chauffeur (the ornithologist) that if something happened when » read more

A far from ordinary journey!

When we signed up to go to Tanzania we weren’t exactly inexperienced travelers. The trip appealed to us because of its combination of tourism and the possibilities to see beyond that and experience the “real Africa”. If I want to be a tourist, there are lots of other companies to travel with but few of them offer » read more

I returned from my first journey to Africa. Probably it won’t be the last one either. The opportunity to go to Tanzania arouse and I took it. The way this journey is organised is ultimate. You travel in a group but it’s not a charter. From the moment the plane lands you are constantly moving, the travel is the goal – the experience. You find yourself in unexpected situations but they never feel unpleasant or dangerous but enriching. This year the group » read more
