The sunsets and sunrises are amazing because of the vast flat land that lies ahead of and behind you. The tall grass is a main source of hiding for the land animals, but in there are some swampy land animals as well. A lot of crocodiles wait in between rocks next to the water where they wait for any birds of rodents. You will see carcasses along these rocks of the water.  These safaris are beautiful areas, that have their dangers as well.

The DR  met with Tanzania's Transit Transport Facilitation Agency (TTFA) and decided that since immigration between the two countries is so high, it would be more profitable if the prices were lower so there would be less illegal immigrants. ]]> 2016-11-03 13:41:25 UTC https://padlet.com/eliza_howard1/ur4po83u5snd/wish/135073192 annemason_ruth https://padlet.com/eliza_howard1/ur4po83u5snd/wish/135401876 The love for music in Tanzania is outstanding. Eating dinner at a concert or any other gatherings are frequent, and there is, at minimum, one concert or music event to go every night! Their music is typically derived from traditional Swahili sung-poetry style with electronic and Arab-influenced rhythm. Block parties, beach parties, concerts, church gatherings or at hotels, the people of Tanzania find a place to play music and enjoy a great part of their culture.]]> 2016-11-04 14:52:59 UTC https://padlet.com/eliza_howard1/ur4po83u5snd/wish/135401876 eliza_howard1 https://padlet.com/eliza_howard1/ur4po83u5snd/wish/135402631 Rats are being trained to detect TB in communities in Tanzania to help prevent the spread of the disease. The rats undergo a rigorous process, but once done, they have almost 100% accuracy at finding the disease. For Tanzania, releasing the trained rats into communities, especially in jails where TB is confined, has benefited the economy by being much more cost -effective and being more efficient than diagnostic testing. The country hopes to continue seeing the accuracy rates as they expand to larger-scale communities. ]]> 2016-11-04 14:54:43 UTC https://padlet.com/eliza_howard1/ur4po83u5snd/wish/135402631 annemason_ruth https://padlet.com/eliza_howard1/ur4po83u5snd/wish/135405506 A small island 20 miles off the shore of Tanzania called Mafia Island isn't much bigger than New York City. It has a small civilization of 40,000 and only a few thousands tourists a year, and is commonly overlooked as just an old trading stop. It is a beautiful island with minimal resources, and whose residents are often looking for nothing more than enjoying the outdoors without need for luxury.]]> 2016-11-04 15:01:51 UTC https://padlet.com/eliza_howard1/ur4po83u5snd/wish/135405506 eliza_howard1 https://padlet.com/eliza_howard1/ur4po83u5snd/wish/135408265 Trained dogs are being used in Tanzania to discover poached ivory tusks. The project, run by the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), has been successful in discovering tusks quickly, and has also dropped the rates of poaching. As the program grows, the dogs have moved onto hunting not only the tusks, but also the poachers. Considering Tanzania has the largest population of elephants in the world, the program will continue to grow in the future]]> 2016-11-04 15:08:24 UTC https://padlet.com/eliza_howard1/ur4po83u5snd/wish/135408265 eliza_howard1 https://padlet.com/eliza_howard1/ur4po83u5snd/wish/135413566 41 days after the collapse of a mine, five out of the six men were freed. Since October 4, the men lived off of frogs, cockroaches, tree bark, and muddy water that was in the cave. This has not been the first accident of this kind, since mining is a common job for the lower class. However, this most recent accident has been brought to attention to push for better labor conditions since it was a miracle that the men survived. ]]> 2016-11-04 15:21:00 UTC https://padlet.com/eliza_howard1/ur4po83u5snd/wish/135413566 annemason_ruth https://padlet.com/eliza_howard1/ur4po83u5snd/wish/135413696 Child marriage is a difficult issue to handle in Tanzania. Previously, there had been no law or restriction on marriage for marriage of children. Although, the government instituted a law against child marriage, the customs and traditions are not setting well with the new law. Citizens believe that the change needs to happen within the cultural idea of "male domination". Laws will help change this problem, but won't change cultural tradition in Tanzania.]]> 2016-11-04 15:21:17 UTC https://padlet.com/eliza_howard1/ur4po83u5snd/wish/135413696
