Yes- There really is awesome scuba diving in Tanzania!

TJT just got back from sharing the adventure possibilities at The Scuba Shows in Long Beach, CA, and Atlantic City, NJ. One of the most frequently asked questions was, "There's diving in Tanzania?"

YES! The islands off the coast of Tanzania - Zanzibar, Mafia, and Pemba - offer warm water, hard coral biodiversity 2nd only to the coral triangle, abundant & varied reef life, and swirling schools of fish. Add to that resident whale sharks off Mafia Island, spinner dolphins around Zanzibar, green & hawkbill turtles! Plus, intriguing cultural, historical, and biological land-based activities. Have I mentioned the A-MAZ-ING beaches and friendly people?

COME FOR THE SAFARI, STAY FOR THE DIVING ... and the fabulous beaches and the interesting culture & history and the wonderful people.

The Journey to Tanzania with TJT is Transcendent!

April showers bring May flowers to the Ngorongoro Highlands!

A day that started out as dark grey and rainy ended up being absolutely gorgeous once the sun came out from behind the clouds. The brilliant colors of various wildflowers carpeted the landscape. Male Jackson’s Widowbirds, with their long, elaborate tails, danced to attract the females. The one which jumped the highest is deemed to be the most desirable. Elephants browsed through grasses while male Fan-tailed Widowbirds flitted around in their bright breeding plumage. A small group of lions lounged in the warmth of the spring sunlight. A “crash” of 9-10 rhinos gathered, presumably to protect what looked like an aged animal laying down in the center. A rhino mother and baby offer a symbol of hope that conservation efforts are staving off their endangered status.

The rains offer a stark reminder of the miracle of life. You are invited to see and learn about nature’s miracles with Transcendent Journeys Tanzania.

The leopard (chui in KiSwahili) is one of Africa's big cats, a member of the Big 5, a fierce predator, and a gorgeous feline. To catch a glimpse of its mesmerizing golden eyes will stay with you forever.

Zebras, or pundamilia (striped donkey) in Swahili. One of the iconic animals of Africa – there is no mistaking the striking black-and-white stripes on the Serengeti plains.

All zebras are dark-skinned animals. The zebra’s stripes arise from melanocytes (specialized skin cells) that selectively determine the pigmentation of the animal’s fur. These cells transfer melanin (a skin-darkening pigment produced by melanocytes) into some of the animal’s growing hairs. Hairs that contain melanin appear black, whereas those without melanin appear white.

The plains zebras found in Tanzania have wide stripes that are widely spaced; some subspecies have lighter “shadow stripes” between the main stripes. The northern subspecies are more fully striped than the southern ones, in which the striping of the lower legs tends to give way to white. Where stripes converge on the shoulders, all zebras have triangular chevrons.

Like the horse, the plains zebras live in small family groups consisting of a stallion and several mares with their foals. The females that form the harem are unrelated. The harem remains intact even when the stallion leading the harem is replaced by another male. When moving, stallions usually remain in the rear but still maintain control over the movement of the herd.

With plentiful food, small groups may coalesce into large herds, but the smaller groups still retain their identities. Zebras often form mixed herds with other mammals such as wildebeests and giraffes, which gain protection from predators by the alertness of the zebras. Zebras with young colts avoid predators by forming a cluster around the mother and young rather than bolting.
