Jackals thrive in the crater and bat eared foxes live in the short grass areas. Predatory animals in the Ngorongoro Crater like leopards, lions, cheetahs, several cats, live off the abundant wildlife; large packs of hyenas roam the Ngorongoro crater, making their own kills and scavenging from others. Lions in particular are abundant in the Ngorongoro Crater. Thanks to the antipoaching patrols, the black rhino in the Ngorongoro Crater are relatively safe and the numbers are increasing with time. Ngorongoro Crater is one of the few places in East Africa where visitors can be certain of seeing the rhino in its natural environment. Birdlife in the Ngorongoro Crater is superb. The mixture of forest, canyons, grassland plains, lakes and marshes provided habitats for a wide range of birdlife.

Things to be seen around Ngorongoro Crater are Laetoli and Olduvai Gorge, Lake Magadi, Lerai Forest, Gorigor Swamp, The Grassland, Oldonyo Lengai, Olmoti Crater and Embakaai Crate, Lake Natron, Gol Mountains (Oldonyo Gol Hills), Nasera Rock, Oldeani Mountain, Lake Eyasi and Serengeti Plains.

BEST TIME TO VISIT NGORONGORO CRATER

Many people wonder when is the best time to go to the Ngorongoro Crater. The Crater is a year-round destination as most of the animals remain in the crater year-round, ensuring great sightings no matter when you decide to visit the Ngorongoro Crater.

LAETOLI AND OLDUVAI GORGE

At Laetoli, west of Ngorongoro Crater, hominid footprints were preserved in volcanic rock 3.6 million years ago and represent some of the earliest signs of

mankind in the world. Three separate tracks of a smallbrained upright- walking early hominid, Australopithecus Afarensis, a creature about 1.2 to 1.4 meters high, were found. Imprints of these are displayed in the Olduvai museum. More advanced descendants of Laetoli’s hominids were found further north, buried in the layers of the I00 metres deep Olduvai Gorge.

Excavations, mainly by the archaeologists, Louis and Mary Leakey, yielded four different kinds of hominid, showing a gradual increase in brain size and in the complexity of their stone tools. The first skull of Zinjanthropus commonly known as ‘Nutcracker Man’, who lived about 1.7 million years ago, were found here. The excavation sites have been preserved for the public viewing and word continues during the dry season, coordinated by the Tanzania government's department of antiquities.

Get to the island by taking a boat from The Slipway shopping center.

Dar Es Salaam is Tanzania’s largest and most influential city. Yet Mount Kilimanjaro, the northern circuit of African wildlife and the island of Zanzibar are the reasons why many tourists that visit Tanzania miss the largest city altogether. With 4.6 million inhabitants, Dar Es Salaam is a vibrant East African city that includes lots of excitement and plenty of character. Culture, beaches, shopping and food - Dar Es Salaam has a little slice of adventure for you to enjoy.

coffee and especially guzzle a pungent Stoney Tangawizi.

NATIONAL MUSEUM

If you want to learn more about the history and culture of Tanzania or see some of the fossils that have been uncovered in the country, you'll be interested in visiting the National Museum.

MWENGE CARVERS' VILLAGE

Located on the outskirts of town, Mwenge Carvers' Village is a great attraction in Dar Es Salaam if you are in the market for Tanzanian souvenirs. Though there is a lot of the same-same type of things, if you take the time to browse around you'll come away with some unique and quality Tanzanian handicrafts.

ZANZIBAR! MIX

There is one dish in Dar Es Salaam that is rare, but is a gem of an example of an expertly prepared dish

that sums up the realm of cultures and traditions of the city: Zanzibari Mix. The makeshift Mama Mumtaz restaurant is not easy to find -in fact, you will probably have to walk to Kariakoo market and ask someone to direct you to it. Zanzibari mix is incredible -a comforting combination of deep fried fritters in a coconut milk curry and garnished with fresh chutneys and chili sauce.

NORTH BEACHJANGWANI AND MBUDYA ISLAND

ANZANIAN S REET 00D

Whether it's roasted maize or mama cooked Tanzanian chapatis also try Mishkaki which is the Tanzanian version of meat on a stickstreet style shish kebabs!

SOUTH COAST BEACHES

Seclusion, peace and quietness is how I would describe the South Coast

Beaches of Dar Es Salaam. There are a number of hotels that you can visit, or you can rent your own personal banda that covers the hut for the day. The lanky palm trees rustling in the breeze and the rhythmic wash of waves makes spending a day on the South Coast Beaches one of the most relaxing things to do in Dar Es salaam. One of the best things to do on the South Coast is to go horse riding on one of the best beaches you will ever encounter. The Dar Es Salaam Horse Club is located nearby to the world famous Ras Kutani Resort. Get there by personal vehicle or by local dala dala minivan. You'll need to cross to the Kigamboni side of Dar Es Salaam by taking the ferry across the port.

NIGHT LIFE

Dar Es salaam has a lot to offer when it comes to entertainment and relaxation especially at night. Here is a collection of top venues to kick start your experience in this amazing city! Akira is one the favourite rooftop bars in Dar es Salaam. With a chilled-out vibe and great music, it offers 360-degree sea views.

If you don't have your own transportation, you can get to Bagamoyo by local bus or by taking a day tour.

FISHING

Latham Island (Fungu Kisimkasi) is a small, uninhabited oceanic island. The island and its associated reefs stick out the Indian Ocean in the middle of nowhere, an insignificant pinhead in the Indian Ocean. This structure promotes currents, and provides haven for baitfish and their predators and is thus a great big game fishing destination. The Island lies 45 nautical miles East of Dar es Salaam so may be fished on a day

trip or more advisably on an overnighter, during which the adventurous angler can try for the mighty Broadbill Swordfish. There are several charter operators out of Dar, and they generally fish at Latham itself or for shorter and cheaper outings, work the Zanzibar Channel. Both fisheries can provide exciting sport -offering chances at Black and Striped Marlin, Sailfish, Wahoo, Yellowfin and Dogtooth Tuna, King Mackerel, Dorado, Giant Trevally, bottom fish such as grouper and Red Snapper, and many more. It is an angler's paradise. If you have a day off in the dark and love to hear a big reel scream, don't hesitate to take off into the blue water, it's right at your feet.

For more information, you can contact Tanzania Tourist Board.

Have fun in Dar Es Salaam!

THE ACT OF GENEROSITY IN BUSINESS

The most vocal and fiercest critics of capitalism, Karl Marx, shouldn’t be blamed. He was right when he called our obsessiveness for wealth and profit as “primitive accumulation.” Worse, our obsessiveness over wealth and profit is a never-ending game.

Here are three reasons why being generous is critical to your business success. Let’s get right to it.

Generosity Begets Contentment

Looking at it on the surface, the act of giving doesn’t make much sense. But when you critically dissect it from the inside, you’ll find out that being generous is not only about losing a sheer of your products. It’s not about being favorable to some folks and doing a disservice to your venture

either. It’s quite the opposite. If you give your physical product or a share of your profits to someone, you’re actually doing a personal good to both yourself and your beneficiary.

The More You Give, The More You Get

When you offer a freemium service to your potential premium subscriber, charge $0.00 for your drop-shipping business, or give out your 300page e-book for free to your new blog subscriber, you’re not losing a sale. You’re building a strong relationship with your prospective customer. You’re building a solid connection with your audience. The connection will help your buyer to not only get to know you better, but admire you and trust you. Whatever you sell, whatever you stand for, if you want to stand out and reap more

rewards, you have to give more.

Giving Doesn’t Just Build Your Business. It Changes Your World

When you give out something for free, you’re not only opening the gates of the word-of-mouth advertisement for your startup. In reality, you’re inspiring your audience. You’re building your community. You’re changing your world for the better. Give out some funds or books to a person or your local community. The items you give out will do much more than put a smile in the person’s face. It will directly contribute to improving their life. Sure, that will motivate them to give as well -- when they get their business ideas off the ground -- and the engine of giving back continues to recycle.

5G in Tanzania and why you should care!

5

G is the word on everyone’s lips at the moment and Tan ania is not le behind with Vodacom launching the country’s first 5G network in eptember 0 . o far our 5G network is active in ar es alaam, rusha and odoma. With the recently acquired spectrum, we are poised to strengthen our 4G network and increase rollout of the 5G network.

i h generation wireless 5G is the is the latest cellular technology, engineered to greatly increase the speed and responsiveness of wireless networks.

The first 5G network was launched three years ago, and

the impact of the technology has already been significant in terms of industry spending and commitment. More than ten countries in frica already have commercial 5G networks, and players in many more countries e pect to have commercial 5G by 2025.

s more Telcos in emerging markets begin to commit to 5G rollout, the development of 5G technology is e pected to be critical to delivering new solutions to address economic development, healthcare, manufacturing, infrastructure, and even government services.

What will you be able to do with 5G?

With 5G, data transmitted over wireless broadband connections can travel at multigigabit speeds, with potential peak speeds estimated at 0 gigabits per second Gbps . To en oy this one only needs a 5G capable device and to cater to our customers needing connectivity in their homes and businesses, we launched the 5G i ed Wireless ccess routers which connects to our 5G network that promises seamless and fast connections. 5G is truly a game changer for businesses as it has the potential to make business processes much easier. usinesses and developers who have tapped into the 5G network are already seeing its transformative effect. ere are some of the reasons your

business should be on Vodacom’s 5G network:

1.  re  u ine   n   n  e  rrie   ut in  e   e  with faster speed.

With speeds of up to ten times higher than 4G, this means faster data transmission of larger files such as images and videos. Increased data speeds can also support IoT, which could benefit your business where IoT is fundamental to your services.

2.    er  ten   e n   fewer glitches and delays.

5G has little to no buffering which means less delay when using the internet. Transferring content to clients happens in a split second

so feedback is smooth and immediate. This would bring a great deal of efficiency into your business’ workflow.

3.  uni n  en e   are addressed by increased nne it .

5G technology offers increased connection capacity compared to 3G and 4G . This means improved business connectivity to clients and employees as more people and devices can easily communicate at the same time via seamless conference calls, telephone, and virtual interviews etc.

4.  ur  u ine   i   ene t  r  net r   i in .

5G allows for network slicing –a form of virtual network architecture that allows multiple virtual networks to be created on top of a common shared physical infrastructure – so you can own a private 5G network. This will support a multitude of services that place different requirements on the network in terms of functionality and performance.

Women economic inclusion Program 2023

More than 300 women food vendors from the Dar es Salaam region will be taking their businesses to the next level with the support of Coca-Cola Beverages Africa subsidiary, Coca-Cola Kwanza (CCK) in partnership with Oryx Gas Tanzania Limited.

This year CCK continued the successful programme that was started in 2021 where over 600 women food vendors benefitted. The women received business training and equipment aimed at helping them to grow their enterprises and increase their income.

The two organizations collaborated with the Institute of Social Work to provide training in business skills, entrepreneurship,

bookkeeping and capital growth. eneficiaries later received tools of trade including 100 gas cylinders and two-plate stoves, customer benches along 300 kitchen clothing.

The handover ceremony of 100 gas cylinders and two-plate stoves, customer benches along 300 kitchen clothing took place March 25 at the Institute of Social Work, graced by Hon. Salma R.Kikwet e Founder and

Chairperson of Women and Development Foundation (WAMA), Former First Lady and a member of Parliament for Mchinga Constituent.

“I am encouraged by likeminded organizations coming together and joining forces with the government to ensure economic inclusion of women at all levels. I call upon other stakeholders to ensure they look at different ways to support women in our communities”, said Hon. Salma Kikwete.

Speaking on behalf of Institute of Social Work, Professor otco omba e pressed his gratitude to Coca-Cola Kwanza for continuing their partnership that started last year. “Our organization will always support initiatives that proves to improve lives of people in our society”, said

arlier in the day, oca- ola Kwanza’s Public Affairs and Communications Director, Salum Nassor said, “CCK has committed to empowering more than 1,100 women across its value chain by the end of 2023. This is a part of an economic inclusion initiative called Mwanamke Shujaa which means “A Brave Woman” aiming at supporting women to take their rightful place in the economy”

Our aim is to create greater shared opportunity for the business and the communities we serve across the valuechain. Opportunity is more than just money, it’s about a better future for people and their communities everywhere on the African continent. -

Professor Komba

“We aim to create inclusive growth opportunities for women, youth, and people with disabilities by defining a consistent way of implementing economic inclusion programmes, drawing on leading practice for implementing our programmes.

“The success of these programmes will be defined by the e tent to which we boost income, unlock sustainable earning potential, improve skills and business knowledge for our target groups, resulting in access to economic opportunities.

“Whether donating money, our time or our e pertise, we take our responsibility to the communities we call home seriously,” Sulay said.

ry as an ania Marketing Manager, Peter Ndomba said his company was delighted to partner with CCK to empower woman entrepreneurs.

“Our economy can reach new heights if we successfully support more women to access opportunities for business growth. The Mwanamke Shujaa campaign is an inspiring e ample of how we can achieve this and we’re proud to be part of the campaign by providing the gas cylinders and stoves for these food vendors. Our organization works to ensure increasing usage of natural gas replacing the traditional charcoal and firewood which are harmful to our environment and health” said Ndomba.

A self-taught person in fashion

As a young girl she would walk to different tailors collect the left overs and sew little beautiful dresses for the dolls she created out of soil or fabric and sell them.

When the colors mix on a fabric to form bold, vibrant designs, you get a stunning African print. Tanzanian designers are not letting that opportunity pass by, they use all their imagination to create masterpieces.

They are claiming the fashion industry stage from the Swahili Fashion Week in Dar es Salaam to the MercedesBenz Fashion Week in South Africa. Tanzanian designers are pushing the boundaries with a simple “Kitenge” leaving masterpieces in their

wake.

Every month Dar Life dedicates this section to young emerging and wellknown designers who want to create brands and use the fashion platform as a stepping stone towards achieving their dream. This month we met Mugonzibwa whose ideas in designing clothes and accessories are amazing, you must watch out!

Mugonzibwa has always had a passion for creation since childhood with which the

“MUGONZIBWA”

creativity and imaginations has been a tool to improve any situation where she was. As a young girl she would walk to different tailors collect the left overs and sew little beautiful dresses for the dolls she created out of soil or fabric and sell them. beautifying parents living room was also a task she loved to do turning old sheets into couch cushion covers.

After obtaining her master’s degree in HRM, a burning desire intensified and in 2016 she totally got involved

in fashion industry. Being a self-taught person in fashion she started receiving bulk and individual orders, thanks to royal customers who trusted her eye of creativity and design and being a huge support to her since then. The trust they showed sharpened her to be able to execute her plans and grow as a designer.

To her creating clothes brings and inspire such joy and increase her sense of spiritual connection as art is a form of prayer and our private devotions have an

effect to others. She intends to use Nyuzi as a platform to contribute to the fashion and design industry in a monumental way, overseeing seasonal conceptualization and creation of men, women and children’s clothes and accessories.

OPTING FOR AN ENTREPRENEURSHIP CAREER

Why It Is the Best Long-Term Career Option

We have grown up ing a believing that gett job is achieving one’s career, but tell you what! play s a Entrepreneurship much greater role than anything else! With , you entrepreneurship have a longare rest assured to lasting career

Let’s unravel together on the why entrepreneurship is thebest a long-term career!

1.It’s a Personal Management Thing

Sometimes, it is best to walk alone, rather than in a group, because having a group comes with misunderstandings, unbalanced teamwork and lack of solidarity, but as a single person, one is free to decide on his/her ideas, committing to one thing for the long run, working effectively to achieve the intended goal and carrying out management skills such as planning, delegation, problem solving and communication that will guide him/her into making his/her career a long term one.

2. It Is Limitless

There is no such thing as age

retirement. The good part, is you can start at an early age working as an entrepreneur and even at the age of eighty, you will still be kicking, compared to short term careers such as being employed, which gives you only a minimum time. Therefore, the pressure of whether you are getting old and will soon be out of the office that you’ve been working for about twenty years, can be removed by one single choice of being an invested entrepreneur.

3. It Adopts to the Change of the Environment

A self employed person has the benefits to move with the change of time, let’s say it’s a season of mangoes, you will then sell mangoes and if it’s the season of pineapples, you will then sell pineapples.

An entrepreneur has the advantage to deal with these changes according to his/her preferences compared to an employed person who has to stick to one thing only and has the risks of whether he/ she will be fired or get a salary decrease.

“study for an hour a day. Double your learning and you will tripple your success”

An entrepreneur and an employed person both share one thingskills, at the end of the day, it is your choice to see where you fit in the most and walk towards that path.
