I'm packing my bags again and leaving in less than a week for Tanzania, Round Three! I'll be in Africa for 6 weeks this time, with my good friend Danielle, to check in on Saumu, develop some kind of little volunteer project, relax on Zanzibar for a couple weeks, check out the Serengeti & Ngorongoro one more time and catch up with my Tanzanian friends in Tanga. I'm looking forward to seeing Saumu again & spending some quality time with her, seeing Africa through Danielle's eyes as she goes on her first major trip outside Canada, scuba diving in turquoise waters in Zanzibar, and indulging in lots of kashata, chai tea, chapati and fresh mangoes. 6 more days til the journey begins...
