Gwilym's Adventure Blog

I am back from a month of working in Tanzania for  True Adventure . A mix of Project work at a village called Tegetero in the Uluguru Mountains, a Trek in the same area, a Safrai in Mikumi National Park and Diving on Zanzibar. A few of the many photos taken

I am off to Tanzania for some sunshine with students from Godalming College whilst working for True Adventure .  I haven't been to Tanzania since 2009 so really looking forward to going back. Not sure how much internet access I will have but I will blog when I can, otherwise I am back in UK on 9th Aug after 3 weeks on the mainland including a Safari and a week of diving on Zanzibar. I hope it doesn't rain too much in the UK for those of you staying at home.

Wildlife even on R & R Days Mount Meru This is close, I don't have a zoom lens Safari at Tarangirie National Park Visit to a Masi Boma I have made it back safely from Africa and here are a few pictures to keep you going and there are some more here I flew out on 19th July with 32 team members to Northern Tanzania. Week 1 was spent at Ndarakai Camp near the Kenya Border where we were based on a large ranch. Activites range from wildlife census work to making paper from Elephant Dung. Work at the local school was eithwe teaching or digging a fishpon and the week was brought to an end by a three day Safari where we saw 4 of the big 5 but sadly spotting a Leopard was not to be. Week 2 was spent in Moshi where we were again working at a local school building a new roof for their dining hall and also general landscaping work around the site. This was hard work and very dusty. We did however manage to build 11 rafters and did some foundations. Week 3 started with a trip to Mount Meru ...

Mount Meru 4566m This morning I flew out from Heathrow to Tanzania where I will be away for a month working for Camps International leading a group of 29 students and 3 staff from Kennett School, Berkshire. We will be conducting a number of community projects before embarking on a Safari, some R & R on the beach and tackling Mount Meru at 4566m. I will attempt to update the blog regularly if possible, but if not I will be back on 19th August and post a full report then
