TANZANIA - Baobab Sunset Tarangire

View of Baobab tree sunset at Tarangire. Thanks to Harrison for the card.

"Tarangire National Park is the sixth largest national park in Tanzania after Ruaha, Serengeti, Mikumi, Katavi and Mkomazi. The national park is located in Manyara Region. The name of the park originates from the Tarangire river that crosses through the park, being the only source of water for wild animals during dry seasons. During the dry season thousands of animals migrate to the Tarangire National Park from Manyara National Park."

TANZANIA - Children with a catch of rays, Uroa Bay, Zanzibar

Amazing cards arrived in my mailbox today, happy day!.  The first card is from Tanzania and this would be my first written and stamps card from the country. I have had one from Zanzibar but it was a blank card so I am happy to get this.

.

Just have to share what Abir wrote on her card.

"When you visit Zanzibar, it is impossible to miss all the fishing boats, fishermen nets and rods sailing into the ocean and fresh coconut water.  The children perform acrobats afterschool by the ocean outlining the Island.  As I walk through stone town, I am welcomed by its magical jumble of cobbled alleyways.  A beautiful historical town filled  by the aroma of street vendors, burning incense and the sound of the call to prayer roaming the streets.  Zanzibar's rich cultural melange come to life: Arabic-style houses with their recessed inner courtyards rub shoulders with Indian-influenced buildings boasting omate balconies and latticework and bustling oriental bazaars alternate with street-side vending stalls."

Thanks a lot Abir for the awesome card and great information!

TANZANIA - Maasai's dancing, Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania

Abir second card shows the Maasai's dancing.  She wrotes that, "Tanzania mainland is full of rich cultures, tribes and traditions.  Scientists have proven that the beginning of mankind and life of the universe all started here! One of the world's oldest tribes are the Masai, a nilotic ethnic group of semi-nomadic people. They are fierce warriors who have preserved their customs and traditions as well as language."

Thank you so much Abir!

TANZANIA - Zanzibar

This unwritten card is from Karmen from her recent trip to Zanzibar.  Thanks Karmen for sending this wonderful card.

"Zanzibar (/ˈzænzɨbɑr/) is the semi-autonomous part of Tanzania in East Africa. It is composed of the Zanzibar Archipelago in the Indian Ocean, 25–50 kilometres off the coast of the mainland, and consists of numerous small islands and two large ones: Unguja (the main island, referred to informally as Zanzibar) and Pemba. The capital is Zanzibar City, located on the island of Unguja."
