I am asked two questions when I mention my adventure which begins tomorrow:
1. Where is Tanzania?
2. Why am I going?
The map should help locate Tanzania. It is in Central East Africa with Kenya to the north and Mozambique and Zambia to the south. The Indian Ocean is to the east. It is a country of about 38 million people. We will be working out of the city of Iringa. Iringa is the transportation, education and business hub of the Iringa Region (similar to a state in the US). The city has a population of about 100,000.
The "Why" question may be more elusive. Certainly there will be adventure and new sites. The idea of an animal safari is intriging to any guy who grew up with Tarzan movies and visions of Africa drawn by missionaries supported by churches. I'd like to get close enough to some animals to get good pictures, but no closer. The rest of the "Why" question will unfold over the 3 weeks.
Kwa Heri (Goodbye)
