Tanzanian Visa Requirements to Visit the Ngorongoro Crater
October 23rd, 2010
Two to three million years ago in Tanzania, a massive volcano collapsed, scarring the land with a huge crater. Today, this ancient crater, called Ngorongoro Crater, is home to one of the densest wildlife populations in Africa. All of the famous "big five" African animals live here: lions, leopards, rhinos, African buffalo and elephants. There are also cheetahs, zebras, hippos, flamingos, ostrich, hyena and many more rare and beautiful animals.
Inside Ngorongoro Crater, there are forests, swamps, great salt lakes and grasslands. The diversity of habitat is one reason that there are so many different animals here.

Is Mt. Kilimanjaro on your bucket list? What if you could climb to the top of it, stand on the summit, and know that in addition to conquering Africa's highest mountain, you were also raising money f0r a good cause?
If you climb with the American Foundation for Children with AIDS, you can do just that. (H/t Gadling). As they do every year, the group is holding a number of charity climbs to help raise money for African children affected by the AIDS epidemic.

The winner will also be protected from the elements with Polarmax clothing and gear, obviously, and will get to star in a climbing video for the Polarmax

Tanzanian Visa Requirements For Tourists
May 2nd, 2010
Tourism is one of Tanzania's most rapidly-growing industries. According to Wikipedia, Tanzania's tourist sector employs 27,000 workers and generates one quarter of the country's foreign exchange.

The best tourist facilities, naturally, are located in the major cities or popular wildlife preserves. However, according to the Lonely Planet guide, it is both rewa
