Discover Inland Sport Fishing in Tanzania

by Andrew Muigai

Inland sport fishing is rapidly becoming a popular leisure activity among visitors to Tanzania. Although fishing is not permitted in national parks and game reserves, Tanzania's fresh water rivers and lakes ? occupying over 6 per cent of the country's total area- provide visitors with numerous rewarding fishing opportunities.

During the rainy season, the country's rivers and their tributaries are inhabited by plenty of fish and it is therefore a good idea to take a fishing safari after the short and long rains. The short rains fall in November and December, while the long rains are received in April and May. Some of Tanzania's best inland fishing fishing grounds are Mwanza, Musoma, Lake Tanganyika and Rufiji River.

Several tours and safari companies in Tanzania organize fishing safaris for sports fishing enthusiasts looking for rewarding fishing experiences in Tanzania. At the inland port towns of Mwanza and Musoma on the shores of Lake Victoria, you can also find many friendly boatmen who can allow you to accompany them on their daily fishing trips. Lake Victoria, the largest lake in Africa, is home to many tropical freshwater fish species, some of which are exported to aquariums all over the world.

Mwanza, a port town on the Southern part of lake Victoria, is one of the popular Tanzania travel destinations for a fishing safari. At Mwanza port, you can catch huge Nile Perch and Tilapia. This port city is one of the best places to get started with inland sport fishing in Tanzania. Mwanza is the cultural centre of Tanzania's largest ethnic group, the Sukuma.

Musoma, another port city on the Eastern shores of Lake Victoria, is a good fishing spot for catching the Nile Perch - known by the locals as Sangara or Chengu. You will find at Musoma, plenty of boats to take visitors across the lake. With a 3440 km shoreline and over 3000 islands-some inhabited-Lake Victoria is the second largest freshwater lake in the world by surface area and also the largest tropical lake.

Lake Tanganyika, the second largest freshwater lake in the world by volume after Lake Baikal, is also a popular fishing spot in Tanzania. The lake hosts over 350 fish species including the Nile Perch and the Goliath Tiger Fish. Lake Tanganyika stretches across Tanzania, Burundi, DRC, and Zambia, with Tanzania having the largest share. Among the over 2000 plant and animal species found in Lake Tanganyika, about 600 are unique and found nowhere else in the world.

The largest river in Tanzania, Rufiji River, provides opportunity for both salty water and freshwater fishing. The 21 lakes in the Rufiji floodplain area, plus the hundreds of ponds and creeks are the grounds for freshwater fishing. During the annual floods, these lakes and creeks fill up and yield good fish catches. Saltwater fishing takes place at the sandbanks off the Rufiji Delta near the coast, where good conditions exist for prawn fishing.

Another popular fishing activity among Tanzania visitors is fly fishing. The rivers and streams of Tanzania provide good spots for fly fishing.

Enjoy A European Vacation

by Trip Wend

So your family is trying to decide on a fun, wholesome family adventure where everybody can get involved and have a good time. Will you choose the Grand Canyon? Perhaps Disneyland? Or maybe even visit some historic swath of America?

Now might be a great time to consider a vacation to Europe. There you will find many world famous historical sites that you and your children have read about, beautiful sandy beaches, and unique countryside landscapes. The cost of all this can be very affordable if you act soon.

A European vacation can be an expensive trip, if you do not plan correctly. For instance, instead of taking an overpriced flight to Europe, why not take one of many discount airfares offered by multiple airlines? With so many airlines competing with each other, it is you, the consumer, who ends up getting a good deal and low prices.

When in Europe, do not simply settle for what you are given. Learn to negotiate prices and you can room in expensive hotels for the fraction of the price. Figure out the tour routes of all the major European cities and take your family on a whirlwind romp through London, Paris, Madrid and other historic cities for much cheaper than hiring a tour guide to lead you.

Explore the beautiful countryside filled with villas and colorful flowers. While you are there be sure to sample home cooking European style. YOu can educate your family about ancient Europe by visiting cathedrals and museums that have items from hundreds of years ago.

Adult couples will find that a European vacation offers a unique experience. There are many romantic places filled with Old World charm. Visit Paris aCity of Lightsa, travel throughout rural Italy, or float down the canals of Venice. You are sure to rekindle your sensual side.

This place can offer you and your family a fun, familiar environment to explore Europe and American culture melding together.

So when you plan your next vacation, remember that you could go to Europe for about the same cost as a trip in the States. You just need to do some planning and shop around for the bargains. It could be your best vacation yet!

Essential Camper Equipment

by Ken Morris

Creating a list before your next camping trip is a good idea so you don't forget to bring anything with you. Since most people camp at least fifty miles from home, forgetting important items can ruin your trip, so be sure to pack carefully and efficiently so you can have the best time possible.

Items you will need on most camping trips include tents, sleeping bags, clothing, first aid kit, and a cook stove so you can prepare meals, boil water, and enjoy hot food whenever you want. Oher equipment that may or may not be necessary depending on where you are staying include dishes, toiletry supplies, fishing gear, hiking gear, and other items for outdoor activities.

Even though your plan may be to catch a lot of fish and enjoy them on your camping trip, if you don't catch what you expect, you should have an alternative meal planned. Bring foods that do not need to be chilled, so they don't spoil. Powdered milk, packaged foods, and canned goods are all good choices. Bring a can opener so you can get to the food inside the cans.

Cooking utensils are also needed when camping. You can buy smaller sets that are used only when camping so you don't have to use items you have in your kitchen. On your list, you should also include clothing items, raincoats, boots, and any others you can think of. This will make packing much easier. Because the temperatures can vary from day to evening, having enough clothing to protect from the cold will help you enjoy your vacation. If you will be participating in any special activities while camping, you should bring appropriate clothing to protect your body and ensure your safety.

Before any camping trip, whether in La Manga, Spain, it is important to get organized so you remember to bring all the items you need. While there may be general stores and other places along the way to buy additional equipment, it is a waste of money to buy items you have forgotten. Stocking up on supplies you need before a trip will make it much easier to see what else you may need.
