Tanzania Safari Destinations

Tanzania is one of, if not the greatest wildlife safari destinations in the world. Many people who go on a safari holiday in Tanzania stay there for around a week and take on around 3 or 4 parks. But the question is, which parks are the best to add to your itinerary? With consideration on journey time between parks and seeing a broad range of different sights, I have put together this article describing some of my favourite National Parks and Reserves in the stunning country.
 
Serengeti National Park
The Serengeti is the most famous safari destination in the world and spans over an area of around 30 thousand square Kilometres. There are huge numbers of animals that occupy the flat and endless land that makes up the Serengeti's terrain, but it is the unlikely characters of the wildebeest which bring many tourists to the park. This is due to the migration which over 1.5 million wildebeest take each year, which begins with a mass birthing of around half a million calves in the Serengeti and take them to the Masai Mara plains, trying to avoid drowning in Rivers or being eaten by hungry predators along the way.

 
Ngorongoro Crater Conservation Area
The Ngorongoro Crater is probably the most amazing place I have ever seen in my life! With a stunning view from its rim over the gracious crater bottom, which is where the majority of the wildlife resides. And what a great host of wildlife you can see on the crater floor, with the legendary African 'Big Five' (rhino, elephant, lion, leopard and cape buffalo) being one of the most popular animals on many visitors spotting wish list.

 
Tarangire National Park
Tarangire is a hidden gem amongst some of the bigger and more famous parks - it is my favourite reserve in the world! Tarangire is notoriously known for being one of the greatest reserves in East Africa for seeing large members of both the flora and fauna families, these are the Baobab tree and the African elephant. When I was on safari in Tarangire, I spotted not one, but two leopards! - A pair in Acacia trees, no more than 2 minutes a part of each other! This was a great sighting, and I hope that you are lucky enough to see a similar sighting if you visit Tarangire.

DYING of Thirst

                                                Please Help!>>

I am going to be very forthright here.. I think when we live in countries with adequate water supplies we take a glass of that life giving GOLD for granted.

So here it is... the raw truth of what happens to a person who cannot drink the water needed to sustain life.
Signs and Symptoms of Dehydration: These may include a dull headache, muscle cramps (especially leg cramps), a sudden episode of visual haze, decreased blood pressure (hypotension), and dizziness or fainting when standing up due to orthostatic hypotension.
Body Water Content: The human body is about 60% water in adult males and 55% in adult females. Lean muscle tissue contains about 75% water by weight. Blood contains almost 70% water, body fat contains 10% water and bone has 22% water. Skin also contains much water.
Body Shut Down: In untreated dehydration, the person feels very sick, the blood pressure drops from the decreased Body Water Content. Delirium then unconsciousness with swelling of the tongue, and, in extreme cases, death occurs.

CLEAN Water IS Required: For Hygiene related good Health.

Disease Results: Diarrhoea 1.8 million people die every year from diarrhoeal diseases (including cholera); 90% are children under 5, mostly in developing countries. 88% of diarrhoeal disease is attributed to Unsafe Water Supply, inadequate sanitation and hygiene.

Malaria (1.2 million die), Trachoma(500 million sick), Schistosomiasis (160million infected, many die) Intestinal Helminths (e.g. Ascariasis, Trichuriasis, Hookworm) disease (133 million infected) ETC .... would you believe, there ARE even more.

All foods contain water. Even the driest nut or seed has a lot of water in it. Furthermore, when food is digested, it is converted to energy, carbon dioxide and WATER. Most people can get the fluid the body needs from food, and they only need to drink enough water to prevent constipation.

"When you eat, the pyloric valve at the end of your stomach closes to keep food in the stomach. Then the stomach takes fluid that you drink and food that you eat and turns the solid food into liquid. If you don't drink enough fluid, your stomach takes fluid from your blood and adds it to the food in the stomach to create the soup. The pyloric valve will not let food pass to the intestines until this liquid soup is formed. Then the liquid soup passes to the intestines and remains a soup until it reaches your colon. Only then is the fluid absorbed to turn the soup into solid waste in the colon. If you do not have enough fluid in your body, your body extracts extra fluid from your stool and turns your stool into hard rocks, causing constipation. Drink water whenever you feel thirsty, but there's no health benefit from forcing yourself to drink eight glasses of water a day. Drinking too much water can be dangerous; (Hyponatremia.) This is of particular concern if you are exercising in hot weather and fail to replace the salt you lose in sweat."

Learning about the Oceans

Before we embarked on our journey to North America for our geography studies, we decided to spend two weeks (from Sept. 27-October 9) on the earth’s oceans.

The earth has five oceans which are:
The Pacific which covers al;most half of the earth at 46 %
The Atlantic at 23 %
The Indian Ocean at 21 %
The Southern Ocean at 6 %
The Arctic Ocean at 4 %

A Crocodile in your Life

One animal or reptile I have never liked, is the crocodile.

I have never trusted them, until...

We are up at Kakado National Park, in the Northern Territory and went out in a 'safe' boat to view the salt water croc's.

Our guide was paranoid about our safety. "Keep seated at all times," he instructed.

"Yes I agree with that," I thought!

The first one sighted came swimming over...

"Why he looks harmless enough,

rather like a big floating log, no noise, nothing." 

And this is where people go wrong......

BY Trusting!!!

When a bait is hung over the water. THAT LOG, suddenly becomes alive and jumps high up out of the water, to appease his greed.

No wonder so many people get taken and eaten by Croc's every year.

This reminds me of a scripture about Satan the devil..

The Bible INFORMS US:

  

"Be self-controlled and alert.
Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour." (eat-up, destroy)  1 Peter 5:8

Ahhhh, so we'll be safe. Because if we see a roaring lion, we'll know it's the devil and stay away...LOL... NOT SO!! 

He actually counterfeits himself. 
The Bible INFORMS AGAIN..


For Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. (2 Corinthians 5:8)
He wants you, and plans to get you, however he can.
And, he is very subtle in the process.  

* Doubt: Makes you question God???
* Discouragement: Makes you look at your problems instead of to God.
* Diversion: Say's wrong,  look's more attractive than right.
* Defeat: Screams that you're a failure, so you give up.
* Delay: Sneaks up and says, "do it later."  And, it never gets done.

INSTEAD

Look to the Morning Star, Jesus Christ.

Read His Word and believe His promise.

And He will help you to climb your Mountain,

One step at a time.

Then, your scar's will turn to Stars...

And You will Shine!!
