“The 3rd edition of Zanzibar International Marathon was officially graced by Zanzibar President Dr Hussein Mwinyi who also participated in the event, which brought together hundreds of runners from across the country.”

He added, we decided to sponsor the international marathon to support the government endeavours to grow the Blue economy, tourism as well as the health of Zanzibaris through sports. He pledged that the bank would continue to support both governments of the United Republic of Tanzania and Zanzibar to realise various development initiatives for improved living standards. The winners of the NMB 5K Run 2021 were Inyasi Nicodemus from Arusha as first winner, followed by Sylvester Naali and Emmanuel Gadiye (from Police Force) while Aisha Luvuma from Arusha became first winner for women, followed by Valentina Michael from Arusha and Catherine Lange (from Mafunzo). Speaking after the marathon, Dr Mwinyi called on stakeholders and sports enthusiasts to promote the beauty of the revived ZIM and make it gain a global status.

Dar Life I AUGUST 2021

He directed the Ministry of Tourism and Heritage to prepare a calendar for the International Marathon so as to enable stakeholders in the tourism industry advertise the race at the International level through Trade Fairs and Tourism Exhibitions and festivals held annually to make it popular. The ZIM 2021, included a distance of 21 km, 10 km, and 5 km with a cash money, the highest being 3m/- for the first and 500,000/- to below, and an additional 400-meter race as well as a race for children and people with disabilities got a special recognition, featured about 2000 athletes from Tanzania, Kenya, Rwanda, South Africa, France and Switzerland and locals Zanzibar. He said having the calendar for the grand race has to be in line with the main objective of reintroducing the race last held in 2003, which is to make it one of the attractions to boost the Isles tourism industry, create employment opportunities especially for the unemployed youth and contribute to the

growth of the national economy. “The government is already committed to co-operate in reviving and developing different sports as well as ensure that the new international Marathon is held annually in Zanzibar, also a step towards providing opportunity to the talented athletes to compete internationally,” he said as he commended the organisers to revive the marathon after more than a decade of suspension. Dr Mwinyi said his Eighth phase government has been encouraging innovation and having better policy and environment, to facilitate the implementation of development programs including sports and other new tourist attractions to boost tourism industry. The organisers of the Zanzibar International Marathon would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to each and every participant, as well as the suppliers and sponsors.

Excursions usually last for a day, with boats bringing you and your catch back to your hotel in time for dinner but live abroad options are also available.

Gombe National Park

The ancient forests may look tranquil and serene, but don’t let looks fool you. Underneath the canopy, adventure awaits. Home to many marvellous creatures, one stands out in particular. Get ready for a thrilling encounter with our closest genetic relative: the chimpanzee. Gombe is one of the smallest of Tanzania’s national parks and is easily made up by the sheer excitement of meeting its famous inhabitants. It was Jane Goodall the world reknown conservationist that gave the fully habituated chimpanzees their celebrity status. Her behavioural research program started over half a century ago and is the oldest of its kind in the world, running until this day. Gombe is a haven for researchers, in part due to the large group sizes, with the Kasekela group of at least 40 chimps being the largest.

Eight different primate species are present Herbivores and carnivores are a rarity on the steep Rift Wall and its fringes, making Gombe a dreamland for walking safaris. While trekking through the dense woods – there are hardly any

open areas in the park – prepare yourself for some remarkable encounters. Chimpanzees have true character that they like to express through wild gestures and yelps. With 98% of our genes shared; the feeling of bonding between our species can be a truly magical moment. Although the fierce display of a dominant male can be frightening, no harm is intended; he is just showing his power. Don’t run away, just stay calm and make yourself small!

Gombe is a dreamland for walking safaris But chimpanzees are not the only primates here; no less than eight different species are present. Scan the forest canopy for red-tailed monkeys, blue monkeys and colobusses while staying on the lookout for the habituated beachcomber olive baboons, themselves an object of another scientific study. Two nocturnal species occur: the Senegal galago and the South African galago (or bushbaby). Don’t miss out on the wealth on offer in the air and under water either. Over 200 bird species fly around, varying from the African crowned eagle that hunts monkeys, to the iconic fish eagle, three kinds of kingfisher and the bright Peter’s twinspots. Another remarkable character is the palm-nut vulture; a nearvegetarian common to Lake Tanganyika that prefers fruit over carcasses. The lake itself lies on the base of the Rift Valley and harbours about 350 various species of fish, most of them endemic. • After being designated as a game reserve in 1943, it became a national park in 1968. • It covers 56 km2 – plus a 100 m wide strip of coastal water – and stretches 13 km from north to south. • Height: 773 m to 1,500 m (Mitumba). • Average temperatures: 26-30 °C (daytime) and 14-17 °C (night-time). • Dry season: mid-May – October – November, wet season: November – mid-May (less rainy in January – February), no seasonal changes in the dense forest. • Best time to visit: wet season, for plants and insects and better chimpanzee spotting (they don’t roam as far in the wet season). • Just like Mahale National Park, Gombe is a rather remote park, only accessible by boat.

• To get to Kigoma: there are scheduled flights from Dar es Salaam and Arusha (private flights organised by safari companies), rail services from Dar es Salaam and a ferry service from Mpulungu in Zambia. Or go by road (4 days): from Dar es Salaam first 980 km on tarmac, then 780 km on earth road (difficult in the wet season). • From Kigoma to Kasekela: by local lake-taxi (up to four hours), or motorboat (two hours, bookings through the park).

Don’t miss out on the wealth on offer in the air and under water either Accommodation Inside the park: one private tented lodge, rest house, bandas, campsites at the Park (booking for rest house, bandas and campsites through the Park).

What to do Guided chimpanzee tracking, guided walks alongside the beach, hiking, swimming and snorkelling. The site of Henry Stanley’s and David Livingstone’s famous encounter (“Dr Livingstone I presume”) can be visited at Ujiji near Kigoma. Or watch the renowned dhow builders at work. NOTE: Strict rules are in place to safeguard both you and the chimps. Allow yourself at least two days to go looking for them; Gombe is not a zoo so encounters cannot be guaranteed.

place to achieve the future you want for this business.

. HOW DO YOU PLAN TO GET THERE? Define specific, realistic marketing goals. Plan how you will measure the results. Decide which marketing strategies you will use, for example: networking, cold calling, mailings, advertising, website, emails, & promotional events. Select two or three you could use to jump-start your marketing. Brainstorm the best tactics for each of the strategies you’ve selected. For example, if you chose networking as a strategy, your tactics might be to attend certain events each week, revise your 30-second commercial and produce marketing materials to hand out. Assign time and dollar resources for each strategy you’ve chosen. Follow your plan, regularly review progress, track the results and modify where necessary. When something produces good results, stick with it. If it doesn’t work, stop or adapt it. By writing one step a day or one step each week, you’ll soon have a simple written marketing plan to guide you and ensure that you get the best return on your marketing dollar as you grow your company in the right direction.

Vitamin C (2,000 to 6,000 milligrams daily) helps prevent sperm from clumping or sticking together, thus improving the chances for fertility. Zinc supplementation (100 to 200 mg daily) has been shown to increase testosterone levels, sperm count and sperm motility. High zinc sources include oysters, organ meats, lean beef, turkey, lamb, herring, wheat germ, legumes and nuts. Other nutrients that have been shown to improve sperm counts include essential fatty acids (9 to 12 grams daily), chromium (1,000 mcg daily), selenium (200 mcg daily), copper (2 mg daily), vitamin E (800 IU KHPS` JVLUa`TL 8 (400mg daily) HUK B-complex vitamins (50 mg daily).

Although my wife and I typically leave home for a birding excursion well before dawn, we still encountered some ridiculously congested traffic during a recent trip there while on route to our destination. Public transport clogged the roads as people poured into the city from the rural outskirts; overburdened trucks crashed through potholes and over misshapen speed bumps; pedestrians weaved through moving traffic creating a tapestry as dense as a Persian rug; and streams of men on bicycles commanded valuable space on the tarmac with their teetering loads of charcoal, tomatoes, and eggs. Indeed, leaving downtown by car on a Saturday morning is not for the timid.”

We were on our way to Pugu Hills, where a few hundred hectares of coastal scrub and woodland still remain, more or less in its natural state. Originally, I was hoping to visit the larger public reserve, but after investigating the practicality of both options, I figured it was easiest to book a visit to Pugu Hills, a small private reserve that is adjacent to the stateprotected land. Ultimately, this proved to be a good course of action, as the habitat at Pugu Hills was varied and teeming with birds 50

and the infrastructure for visiting birders was more than adequate, with several trails for walking as well as a variety of delicious options for lunch. Our host, Kik van den Heuvel, later confirmed our decision as she showed us some disappointing beforeand-after photos portraying the environmental destruction of the public reserve in recent years, principally due to illegal charcoal

production. Arriving at the entrance gate around 7am, we first encountered a family group of Crowned Hornbills in a tall and sparsely leafed tree. This transitional habitat between cultivated land and woodland would prove particularly fruitful on this sunny morning, as we found Speckled Mousebird, Cardinal Woodpecker,

Green-Winged Pytilia, Black Cuckoo-Shrike, and Red-Billed Fire finch all in the vicinity. We also briefly witnessed a magnificent raptor on the wing, flying low to the ground as it glided through the trees in search of prey. There are a bewildering number of species of hawks, eagles, and kites in this region, though, and I didn’t get a good enough look to identify this raptor. After ambling around the AUGUST 2021 I Dar Life

excursion was the Eastern Nicator that appeared briefly from dense cover. The field guide describes this species as being vocal but reclusive, and we were no doubt lucky just to get a look at the bird, much less a photograph of it.

The highlight of our morning was no doubt encountering a good-sized mixed flock that we followed for an hour as it moved slowly through the dense brush along one of the secluded trails. Although each new bird species observed in the flock was a delightful surprise for us, several new birds in general were simply stunning. The Black-Throated Wattle-Eye took us aback with its ant bird-like qualities, a diverse and cryptic family of birds found in the neotropics. However instead of having a red-colored eye ring, this bird had red skin flaps raised around its eyes. This pair of smart black and white birds foraged slowly, making a unique clicking noise as it moved along. A pair of vigilant Narina Trogons was also a nice find, although I’ve never been 52

very enthralled by this phlegmatic family of birds. The Red-Capped Robin-Chat also enchanted us, as it swooped in at close range in the undergrowth and proceeded to flick through the leaf litter almost at our feet. Afterwards Aimee and I climbed the hill to get a better perspective of the greater area, walking along the firebreak between Pugu Hills and the state-protected reserve. As it was near midday at this point, there wasn’t much to see in terms of birds, except for two huge raptors perched in the distance (I had left my birding scope in the car, which is where it always seems to be when I most need it). We decided to make one last circuit of the nature trail before lunch. This time we found a marvelous male Green-Winged Pytilia, one of the region’s several intricately patterned waxbills. A pair of Cardinal Woodpeckers also caught our attention, but the most unusual bird of the

entrance road and picking up a few more neat birds, including Brown-Hooded Kingfisher, we checked in with the host and hit the nature trails.

Before leaving for the day, and the harrowing drive home, we made sure to check out the accommodations for a possible future visit, noting that the rooms were made out of canvas and selfcontained like a yurt, complete with traditional Tanzanian four-post beds. In front of the bandas were rows of flowering shrubs at which a noisy group of sunbirds was busy feeding. Miniscule but lovely Collared Sunbirds seemed to be everywhere around us, but I was struck by a larger and dull-colored species, the Olive Sunbird, that has a small, orange stripe at the base of its bill. Considering the rest of its brilliantly colored family, this humble-looking bird is truly one of a kind and capped off a fine day of birding in Dar es Salaam.

boundaries with a simple “Kitenge” leaving masterpieces in their wake. Every month Dar Life dedicates this section to young emerging and well-known designers who want to create brands and use the fashion platform as a stepping stone towards achieving their dream. This month we meet Jamilla Vera Swai whose ideas in designing clothes and accessories are

amazing, you must watch out! Born in August 1975, Jamilla’s love affair with fashion started at the tender age of 7, when she came across her auntie’s fashion sketches. At the age of 14 while she was still in high school, she started modeling for adverts on a local TV station in Maputo as well as designing for the agency she was signed with, Estudio Stilo. Being of a petite stature and not being able to model full time,

Not being content with just studying, she co-founded SuturCouture in 2000. She has participated in various fashion shows in Nairobi, Magadi and Dar-es-salaam, where she has gained recognition. With her ideas and persona, she quickly made an impact on advertising

agencies who hired her to work as a costume designer on TV adverts such as Pilsner ice, Konyagi ice, Kencell and Aids Awareness Campaign. In 2002, she returned to Dar es Salaam and established JamillaVeraSwai Studio. Since then she has participated in various festival shows through the years, including The Swahili Fashion Week, Mozambique Fashion Week, South Africa Fashion Week and several others. Her numerous clientele include local celebrities and regular

career women from all walks of life. Besides supplying her designs in her own studio, they are also available in some retails shops in Dar es salaam and Zanzibar - Tanzania, Nairobi - Kenya and North Carolina - United States of America (USA). Today she is proud to present fashion made in Dar es Salaam to the world and brand outfits to women who infuse exotic vibrant style, glamour and sophistication into their professional and social lifestyle.

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.
