So you all know I LOVE to travel!! Always collecting new stamps for the passport!!
Every now and then I like to chronicle my journey especially if its in a new place!! So over the next few days I will be documenting my time all throughout Tanzania!! I am so excited to share this experience with you all!! Located in the eastern part of Africa, Tanzania is known for its lush nature, an array of sites, places, and things to do!!
One can visit the tallest mountain in Africa Mount Kilimanjaro, visit the internationally known Ngorongoro Crater and see the “Big 5,” trek through the Serengeti National Park (a safari Mecca), and explore the markets and deep history of Zanzibar!
Day 1: Landing at Kilimanjaro International Airport
Just a few highlights! So arriving safe and sound to Tanzania, talk about a long journey! In total the flight was about 15 hours, and the time quickly moved forward 7 hours ahead (for my Eastern Time Zone folks). I will say the airport at Kilimanjaro was probably one the easiest and painless airports to get through, and trust me when I tell I have experienced some trauma (talking about you Amsterdam)!! Got our luggage and headed to our stay for the night!!
Once settled in, grabbed a bite to eat and chilled for the rest of the evening! First meal (see below) in Tanzania gets a strong A in my grade book! I had a coconut sauce crusted sautéed perch with sliced potatoes, grilled vegetables, and a Stoney Tangawizi (which is their brand of ginger beer). [FYI I will be partaking in Tangawizi just about every day!!] This meal marks the beginning of what I know is going to be an AMAZING holiday!!
Gonna be some fun times!! New memories loading soon….

In addition to starting my #TanzaniaJourneyTravels today, let me also mention that today is World Tourism Day!! Perfect way to kick things off!! So World Tourism Day is celebrated every year to focus on promoting tourism in various parts of the world. Initiated by the United Nations World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO), World Tourism Day aims to make people understand the joy of exploring the world. And I could not agree more with this mantra! One thing that I always promise myself is to take at least one international trip every year. I’m just grateful that I am able to do so because there is so much to learn and gain from see what the world has to offer!
So start planning your next global adventure!!
Make sure to stay tuned each day for a daily dose of Dr. G’s #TanzaniaJourneyTravels !!
See you tomorrow!!
