Our Safari and Other Fun Plans

While we will be volunteering in Africa we also intend to have lots of fun! We will be living on a hill in Arusha near Dr Mark Jacobson and his wife. This is apparently where the Tanzanian olympic team trains. The elevation is similar to Denver, about 1 mile high, and we will be visiting during the summertime so the temperature will be around 80 or so degrees each day. We plan on getting a monthly pass to the nearby hotel that has a pool so that the kids can have fun during the day and still are formulating our plans to visit the beautiful blue beaches of Zanizibar which is not more than a day away.

We are confirmed to go on Safari and here is our agenda. If you ever want to go on Safari in Tanzania feel free to contact our friend Mbogo at g_mbogo@hotmail.com and his web site at http://www.mbogoexpeditions.com who has a whole team of drivers who are thought of extremely highly by many of my friends who have visited.
