I have not been to Africa yet but I am planning my first trip in July,
to Tanzania. I have a weekly travel podcast (like an internet radio
show) called the Amateur Traveler. I had a chance to interview someone
on yesterday's show about his trip to Tanzania on a safari and it just
makes me more excited.

I have started to learn Swahili. What other advise would people have
for me?

Check http://www.michna.com/kenya.htm for those things that are
not Kenya-specific, such as check lists of what to take with you
in the chapter Preparations.

It all depends what the purpose of your trip is!
For example, it would be different if you were climbing Kilimanjaro,
going on a safari, doing 'cultural' stuff or sunbathing on Zanzibar.

Safari njema!

Learning Kiswahili is good. Where would you like to visit? Serengeti
lake Manyara, Ngorongoro, zanzibar? That is the only way we can b
able to help. Getting a room in the lodges in Jul can be a little bi
difficult but not impossible. Right now the following are somewha
full-Ngorongoro Serena, Kirawira, Mbuzi Mawe. Ofcourse I sell tours t
Rwanda, Kenya, Tanzani, Zanzibar and Ugunda but I won't charge you fo
consultation

Ah, yes, I did not say. This is a trip with my church group so it will
be a mix of working and site seeing. We will be helping to put a roof
on a seminary in Arusha and we will be trying to make connections with
local churches ministering to the AIDs crisis. On the tourist side we
will probably try and get to Ngorogoro crater or one of the other
parks. We may also do a quick trip to Zanzaibar.

Okey. That is good. However I would suggest that you spare a few days
at least a week for sightseeing. That way you will visit two parks an
wide up with zanzibar. All depends on how many days you have. A wee
is minimum.

Otherwise if you just put up the roof, you will not have the feel o
Africa-big gam
