ABOUT

This blog describes my adventures in Africa. In 2018, this will be my 4th trip to Africa. I traveled to Rwanda in March 2016, and Kenya and Tanzania in the Spring, 2015, and Kenya in 2010. On our journey, we'll be visiting schools, centers for people with disabilities, making friends, looking for animals and finding adventure wherever we go. Wahoo!!!!

Tanzania Facts



1.  Tanzania is about two times the size of California.  
2.  There's a lake in Tanzania that turns animals into stone. Here is a what a bat looks like...

calcified bat
They actually don't turn into stone it just looks like it.  It has to do with their habitat, so when they move to Lake Natron they aren't used to the new habitat and when they die, their bodies become calcified.  

3.  The country of Tanzania has 48 Million people, half of them are younger than 15 years old!!!!!.  It is ranked:  27th in the WORLD!!!!!!
4.  Tanzania has the largest concentration of animals in Africa.  I hope we see this:

    Hi Finn,
    The places you are going have such great flags, we hope you find out why they have their colors and shapes, what those things remind people about. The animals looks wonderful. Do you think the critter on the cycle might be one of your cab drivers somewhere?
    Love Grandpa & Grandma
