Valentine DREAM WITHOUT FEAR LOVE WITHOUT LIMITS Celebrate Valentine’s Day in a New Way this Year

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage. Lao Tzu

February 2024 | Dar Life

The more we love, the deeper our understanding of life will be. In the midst of all of life’s challenges and complications, love stops us in our tracks and changes everything. The power of love is something we should celebrate every day, but Valentine’s Day is a great opportunity to be reminded of how special the people we love truly are. In honor of this annual holiday, Dar Life brings to you some ideas for how to celebrate the occasion, whether you’re single, dating, or have been married for years.

• Buy some roses – give them away or use them to freshen up your living space and remind yourself how much you are loved. • Make a homemade card for someone. • Take a weekend trip to Arusha, Zanzibar, Mwanza or Bagamoyo. If you can’t afford to travel, try a “staycation”. Book a hotel room in your city for a night or two, turn off your phone and laptop, and enjoy complete relaxation with your loved ones. • Have a classic movie date at the theater with friends and/or your partner. Or set up a drive-in at home, complete with a projector and snacks. • Look for restaurants with Valentine’s Day specials, get all dressed up, and enjoy a special dinner with friends or your partner. • Cook dinner for your partner or your friends at home. Go all out with a fancy outfit and festive music and decorations.

• Go to a concert or take dance classes with loved ones. • Surprise someone you love with a gift that they really need or want. • Alone? Show yourself some love! Who says that people need a companion for this one day of the year? Treat yourself to a spa visit, a nice meal, or some new perfume. • On small pieces of paper, write down every kind of kiss that you can think of (examples: passionate, on the cheek, etc.). Then fill an inexpensive red felt bag with your “kisses” and give it to your partner. • Order food from a take-out restaurant and have a picnic for all the Valentines in your family on your living room floor. • If you are separated across the miles, send a care package filled with things that are red. • Say “I love you” a lot, and mean it!

Top Activities & Sports in

s you can imagine, being on the tropical Indian ocean, and having Africa’s largest lakes, Tanzania has also a plenty of water sports, ranging from some of the world’s best diving (both in the ocean and freshwater lakes), yacht, dhow and boat trips, fishing, and adrenaline sports. Tanzania has some incredible sporting journeys to offer those who seek them out.

Mafia Island offer some of the world’s finest scuba diving. Diving is possible all year round, although the Kusi Monsoon (strongest June-Sept) is accompanied by choppy seas and strong currents that make the more exposed reefs inaccessible. There can also be strong winds in December and January. Visibility is best from November to march, before the long rains set in.

BALLOON FLIGHTS Flights by balloon take off as dawn breaks over the Serengeti, the perfect silence of the early morning plains broken only by the soft roar of the balloon. Far below, wildebeest scatter, looking everywhere but up at the silent visitor that floats over their world. Giraffe stand next to acacia trees, untroubled by the airborne visitors. After the thrill of landing, a champagne breakfast awaits, the air becoming warmer as the sun climbs in the sky and curious zebra look up from their grazing at the chink of cutlery in the still, warm bush.

DEEP SEA FISHING The water around Zanzibar and Pemba islands is considered by experts to offer some of the best fishing in the world, especially the Pemba Channel, between Zanzibar and Pemba islands, or around Mafia Island, south of Zanzibar. Big game fish include barracuda, kingfish, sailfish, billfish, wahoo, Dorado and blue marlin.

PARAGLIDING & MICROLIGHT FLIGHTS There are some fabulous areas to paraglide. Very few people paraglide in Tanzania, therefore it is a novelty. Always seek permission from the local village, explain what you are doing and where you think you will land (it is illegal to fly over

national parks). Just some of the areas to fly are the Usambara, the Rift valley and numerous hills around Mt. Meru. Microlight flights are now also available over Lake Manyara and the Great Rift Valley. GOLFING Although not a golfing destination, there are numerous golf courses throughout the country, including Dar es Salaam and Arusha. The local clubs are always very welcoming to any visitor who may wish to swing the odd club. Contact your tour operator for details as to the nearest golf course to where you might be staying. SPA TREATMENTS The perfect way to ease limbs after an exhilarating day’s game viewing or in preparation for the beach, there are now several hotels and lodges in Tanzania and Zanzibar offering world class spa facilities to keep you feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. BOAT SAFARIS The soft chug of an outboard engine, or the whispering flap of a canvas sail; boat safaris in Tanzania

Tanzania is a beautiful country. Its landscape and people make it a unique location to undertake any sport. Whether it is early morning training runs past giraffes and zebra to the shores of Lake Manyara or on the slopes on Mount Kilimanjaro, a football match against a local village team, horse riding expeditions in West Kilimanjaro or treks in the Ngorongoro Highlands or from the sun-kissed islands of the Zanzibar Archipelago to the gentle shores of Lake Victoria, the country contains immense cultural and natural wealth.

HORSE AND CAMEL RIDES Day rides are available from a few camps in Tanzania, for all standards of rider, and game animals are not afraid of horses in the same way that they are of cars or pedestrians, allowing visitors to approach the wildlife much more closely than usual. MOUNTAIN BIKING For the fit and adventurous, mountain biking through the African landscape is truly an exciting experience. Avoid roads and traffic and ride through deserts and forests, up mountains and down valleys, through tiny villages and bustling market towns, then into the true wilderness past herds of antelope, giraffe and zebra.

some fantastic scenery, with panoramic views of the Rift Valley. The track to the top of Lengai is very steep, and a true challenge attempted only by hikers with a good level of fitness.

CANOEING Canoeing trips are available in the Arusha National Park and are a wonderful experience, drifting past herds of elephant, giraffe, hippo and buffalo as you cruise along the shores of the Lake surrounded by countless flocks of birds. MOUNTAIN CLIMBING AND HIKING For most climbers who visit Tanzania, the 5,869m Kilimanjaro is the top prize. Mt Meru, another of Tanzania’s volcanic peaks, is also popular, with the varied animal and plant life to be found on its slopes a major draw. Meru is Africa’s fifth highest peak, with fabulous views of Mt Kilimanjaro and the Momela Lakes from the summit. The challenging ascent to the crater of Ol Donyo Lengai passes through

WALKING IN THE WILD A walk through the African bush is a wonderful way to experience Africa intimately. Smells and sounds become distinct and varied, and smaller creatures gain significance. They are no longer simply rushed past in the race for the bigger game. When larger animals do appear, they are met at eye level; the land is truly shared between humans and animals. Safety is not an issue- all walks are accompanied by armed, experienced guides and game rangers. Walks can be from a few hours to a full day with picnic lunch. Many hotels and camps will offer guided walks in the national parks or community areas. We believe that activities and sports is a language that helps peoples communicate throughout the world. Enjoy the activities and sporting of Tanzania and make your Holiday a life time enjoyable

This isn’t our success alone; it is for everyone who makes the festival happen in one way or another. Big thanks to all our artists, donors, sponsors, partners, crew members, and individuals. The Festival will bring buzz to the island with various activities, including Movers & Shakers, a panel discussion happening during the festival days, the Carnival Street Parade starting in Kisonge towards Stone Town at 03:00 pm, Busara Xtra (events organized by locals showcasing the islands), Swahili Encounters (collaborations between local and visiting musicians), the return of Busara’s Free Stage in Forodhani Gardens, and a special event involving tree planting in Muyuni Forest, located in the southern part of Unguja Island.

The discussion inevitably mixes bits of opinion in with the facts. This isn’t an analytical laboratory review, but rather a guide based on my field experience. I have no financial ties or connections to any of the vendors mentioned here; I’m just a customer er like anybody else.
