			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #292526"><font face="Calibri">A new five-star hotel and resort was inaugurated on Hawassa Lake in early April. Lewi General has built an 86-room facility, including stand-alone luxury bungalows, two swimming pools, four conference centres and boat facilities. The limited capacity and low quality of Ethiopia&#8217;s existing hotels has hindered efforts to attract higher numbers of tourists in the past. Despite the slow improvement in <a href="http://www.traveltotanzania.com/travel-guide/morocco-tour-travel.html" title="Travel to Morocco"><strong>tourism infrastructure</strong> </a>in the country, tourist numbers have been increasing in recent years and an estimated 400,000 tourists visited the country in 2008. The government aims to attract greater numbers of tourists from emerging economies such as India and China. Both countries have growing trade and economic ties with Ethiopia, and Ethiopian Airlines now offers 14 <strong><a href="http://www.traveltotanzania.com/tanzania-flights" title="International flights">flights </a></strong>a week to Beijing and Guangzhou, and 12 flights a week to New Delhi and Mumbai. However, although Ethiopia has great natural and cultural assets, it must shed its image as politically unstable and plagued by poverty and famine if it hopes to attract far greater numbers of tourists. Any unrest at the elections due in May would be a major setback to the country’s hopes of becoming a prime<o:p></o:p></font></span><span style="color: #292526"><font face="Calibri"><strong><a href="http://www.traveltotanzania.com/zanzibar-tours" title="Zanzibar">Tourist destination</a></strong>.<o:p></o:p></font></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><font face="Calibri"><font size="3" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size: 12pt">The United Republic of Tanzania is an autonomous state in the Eastern region of Africa bordered by Kenya and Uganda to the north, Rwanda, Burundi and the Democratic Republic of the Congo on the western side,  Zambia, Malawi and Mozambique on the southern border and then the Indian Ocean along the country&#8217;s eastern border. Tanzania is a member of the East African Community (EAC), together with Kenya, Uganda, Burundi and Rwanda. <o:p></o:p></span><span style="font-size: 12pt">You probably have always wondered what language is the word “safari”! This is a word that comes from the East African Swahili language and it simply means &#8220;voyage”, “travel” or &#8220;journey&#8221;. This word however has got an Arab origin as is most of the other Kiswahili words.  From the earlier times around the 14th and 15th centuries when the Arab traders, ivory hunters and slave traders would travel extensively in the eastern and central parts of Africa, an expedition could sometimes be up to around 4200 people strong. In those days such an expedition was referred to as a &#8220;Safariya” and this was a major undertaking. </span></font></font><font face="Calibri"><font size="3" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size: 12pt"><span> </span><o:p></o:p></span><span style="font-size: 12pt">The African safari is a journey into the mystifying, wild but romantic jungles of Africa. At the present time these words spike the mind&#8217;s eye, correlating with images of enormous herds of wildebeest (gnu), buffalo, the huge elephants and the beautiful zebra, herds of running Giraffes all booming across the vast green sweeping savannas, being hunted by the King Lion, fierce Leopard and the mighty hyena. It is pure magical in the increasingly present and glorious African brightness of the sun capturing the wonderful and thrilling imagination.  <o:p></o:p></span><span style="font-size: 12pt">Commencing the day you set under the wonderful African skies you will begin feeling the experience deep in the wilderness of our great and beautiful wild continent, you will absolutely fall in love with Africa aver and evermore. You will understand our passion for nature and the great life in the jungles. <o:p></o:p></span><span style="font-size: 12pt">Some of the natural beauties in the heart of Africa are the verdant waterways of the great Okavango Delta in Botswana, which is also home to the mighty elephant herds of the Chobe and Linyanti; the blazing Namib Desert as well as the Skeleton Coast of Namibia. You will surely not miss the wonderful African bushveld of the Kruger National Park and then of course its game reserve neighbours of Mala Mala, Sabie Sabie and Timbavati in <strong><a href="http://www.traveltotanzania.com/travel-guide/soocer-world-cup.html/" title="World Cup">South Africa</a></strong>…. and many others!

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Zakumi, simply stands for two words: ZA which is South Africa and KUMI which means ten in most African languages. ZAKUMI thereofore simply means <strong><a href="http://www.traveltotanzania.com/travel-guide/soocer-world-cup.html" title="Soccer 2010">South Africa 2010</a></strong>. The World cup’s long history is full of fun, adventure, entertainment and many other twists including drama. All this is focused on Africa come June 2010 and particularly South Africa. With all arrangements and preparations done, what is remaining now are the travel arrangements, bookings and all the other plans of how you will spend your time while in South Africa.<br />
Locally known as Madibaland, South Africa is ready to welcome the world and here we bring you some of the highlights that will spice up your arrangements for the World Cup down south.<br />
<strong><a href="http://www.traveltotanzania.com/travel-guide/air-insurance-travel.html" title="Travel insurance">Travel: </a></strong>Managing the cost of travel is paramount for everyone who intends to travel, especially if you are travelling for your first time. South Africa will receive an estimated 500,000 guests and so a delay in <strong><a href="http://www.traveltotanzania.com/tanzania-flights" title="Cheap flight deals">booking an air ticket</a></strong>; the most viable and quickest of all transport means, might leave so many fans gasping for breath in a queue at a travel agency if one were to make arrangements in the days preceding the event. South Africa being ahead of many other African countries economically, it has got a number of direct flights from many parts of the world. If South African Airways operates in your country, then life is that easy for, but only when you book in time. Remember you are not alone!   </p>
<p>Emirates airlines, which happens to be the official FIFA partner for this tournament operates in the major cities in South Africa and connects to Dubai. This is rather and exciting journey via Dubai. Please note also that these flights may not go to the World Cup cities but once in South Africa, a number of travel and tour experts are all waiting to take you within the mainland.<br />
<strong><a href="http://www.traveltotanzania.com/travel-guide/honeymoon-tanzania-safari.html" title="Tour South Africa">Attractions down South:</a></strong> South Africa has got a number of natural attractions that can give you an extra flavor of your stay in South Africa. The Drakensberg Mountains that stretch along the part of the Polokwane province will surely give a dramatic view of the rugged gorges, clear streams and nature forests. You may pack a picnic and spend a day in the shade of a cool tree in the forest as you wait for the next match.<br />
The Polokwane Game Reserve is probably one of the finest attractions where you can cut your teeth if you are to maximize your fun and tourism in South Africa. The frequent sightings of the white rhino and other game animals will surely give you and exciting view that you will live to remember.<br />
For train fanatics there is no better way to see the breathtaking vastness of <a href="http://www.traveltotanzania.com/tanzania-flights" title="Safari deals Africa">South Africa’s landscape</a> then by train. You can even go on a genuine steam train tour. Budget and luxury options are available, South Africa is ready for the world.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>  Getting your body prepared for pregnancy is one of the best decisions you possibly will make.  Your body will be more prepared for the challenge of growing a baby and the experience will be a little easier on your body.</p>
<p>Every woman surely knows how important it is to eat well while you are pregnant. The benefit it provides you and your baby is important. But, do you also know how important it is to eat well even before you get pregnant?  If you are actively trying to get pregnant you have to make sure your body is prepared to accept the challenge.  The first thing you should do before even beginning to try is to talk to your doctor to see how you measure up health wise. Does he think you need to lose a few pounds before getting pregnant or does he feel you need to gain a few? Your doctor may recommend that you change your eating habits and start exercising.</p>
<p>Perhaps the most important thing you can do before you get pregnant is to cut out all alcohol.  <strong><a href="http://www.traveltotanzania.com/travel-guide/insurance-travel-health-africa.html" title="Health tips">Community health</a></strong> workers and gynecologists have clearly advised that women who drink alcohol will most likely have a harder time getting pregnant than women who do not drink.  Another reason why you should give up alcohol is that most birth imperfections that are caused by alcohol exposure usually occur in the first few weeks of pregnancy, usually before you can even know you are pregnant.  As soon as you decide you want a baby, you should begin to get in the habit of eating healthier. Slowly begin to cut out caffeine. If you smoke, now is a good time to quit rather than waiting until you have that positive test.   Smoking can decrease your fertility and increase your risk of a miscarriage if you are still smoking when you are pregnant.</p>
<p>Another thing you can do is to start taking prenatal or at least some multivitamin supplement that contains at least 400 micrograms of folic acid. You can also begin to add food into your diet that is rich in folic acid such as spinach and other green vegetables, peanuts, and orange juice. You can also start by taking a prenatal vitamin also.  These vitamins contain iron, folic acid, and calcium along with vitamin C, D, B and vitamins B6 and B12 also.</p>
<p>Appraise your diet. Begin to eat foods that have plenty of vitamins, minerals and fiber. Lay off the fat and excess sugar. You want to eat foods that have a high nutrient density.  Eat at least five portions a day of fruits and vegetables along with protein and iron rich foods like dried fruit, and green vegetables.  Try to steer clear of raw fish like sushi, and steer clear of undercook shellfish, meat or chicken. You also want to try to avoid fish that has high mercury content like swordfish, shark, or king mackerel.  Cut out any food that has unpasteurized milk in it including cheeses such as brie, camembert, and some Mexican cheese.  Also cut out foods that have raw egg in it including homemade cookie dough.  In all you do, make sure you augment your water intake and should always be your first drink choice before, after and during your pregnancy.  Water helps to flush your system of toxins.  Once you&#8217;ve gotten your eight glasses in, you can drink fruit and vegetable juices also.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>  Typically, it begins in the early hours with a morning wakeup call and then you begin to prepare for your first game drive of that day. A nice cup of hot African coffee accompanied by a light breakfast of some bit of toast will help chase away that lousy bit of drowsiness will make you feel great and much ready for the day.<br />
You then set out for the best times for the game viewing which are normally early mornings  just from before  the daybreak onwards and then from the late afternoon up to sunset. The late afternoon drive is most times extensive, turning it into a rather night drive.<br />
The safari begins when you get into the safari vehicle, habitually in a group of around 7 people, there is a lot of excitement and everyone is full of expectation. As you get into the jungle, the bushveld then becomes quiet, with a kind of stillness hanging within the air just before dawn. At this time nocturnal life is settling down, and the noise level subsiding, while daytime life is beginning to awaken with some early birds calling out with beautiful chants to welcome the lightening up of the blue skies.<br />
At this time, you set off with a professional game ranger just at the back the steering wheel and a very well experienced tracker on his special seat up front way above the bull bar. Just between the two of these two men, they will make sure that your wildlife encounter is an exciting one, very safe and informative. <a title="Flight and travel guide" target="_blank" href="http://www.traveltotanzania.com/about">travle guide</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A drive in the early hours of the morning can easily take up to three hours, but all depending on what you come across during that trip. By then you will surely have taken in so much that it is time to return to your bush lodge and to a lavish and energetic breakfast.<br />
You then get ready from mid afternoon it starts all over again, with an afternoon drive that usually ends just about sundown. Please note that many game parks and lodges recommend game drives at night, because this gives the chance to watch the king lion, the fierce leopard and the hyena do what they do best for their survival and that is hunting for prey. This is an incredible experience to watch.<br />
After the jungle experience, you then have to return to the camp, take a great hot shower, have an ice cold drink at the camp fire and enjoy an outdoor Africa barbeque night and a bush dinner in the camp site. This, you may call a black night, stars all blazing, nocturnal wildlife sounds with the roaring of lion unmistakably discernible and this is an absolute entire bliss that creates an incredible experience.<br />
The most popular destinations for an absolutely thrilling African Safari experience are Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda in East Africa, and of course South Africa, Botswana, Zambia and Namibia in the Southern part of Africa.<br />
A true African Safari may be taken in very many ways, from the low budget backpacking, then a self driving and then accommodation in an organized lodge or tent. On the other hand, you may prefer a fly-in safari and a stay in a very luxury private lodge where you will be treated like a true princess.<br />
Africa Safaris are surely numerous, for example honeymoon safaris, the canoeing safaris, the elephant back safaris, mountaineering safaris and general adventure safaris.<br />
The choice of your journey into Africa will surely continue to be one of life’s greatest adventures that you will live to remember.<br />
Feel the life in the jungle<br />
Experience the sunrise over the African green bush land with the shadows of the ever thorny acacia trees against the blue lightening sky, it is a rather fantastic scenery, the superior rim of the sun glance over the clear skyline in the distance. At this time it is all there; that fantastic sight that gives a whole clear picture and makes you feel that you are not just looking at it, but rather you are fully in it. This is undeniably, the sunrise experience over the African bush land that you will surely never fail to remember.    The majority of the animals take it easy during the heat of the day and are not very active until the day cools down again in the afternoon time. If then you wish, you may track their pattern and spend the entire middle section of the day relaxing by the pool side, alternatively you may decide to use this time to meet and visit  the native people within a local village. This will also make you feel the African people and their culture.<br />
Unhurriedly the gigantic body strolls by the vehicle and a big mass with curls of hair around its muscular neck stretches down its back as it walks like it owns the place, moving each massive paw slowly, calculatingly, decisively. All of a sudden the tracker whispers alerting everyone as he points ahead and a bit to the sides. And then you’ll see him, appearing from behind a bush, His Majesty, the king of animals,…a massive male lion. At this time everybody is just holding their breath, and the ranger will keep the engine idling and quietly shifting into gear, just in case. Yes, it surely walks like a king demonstrating truly the king of animals. Just one last look shows a slow swing of its tail before it then turns and disappears into the jungle.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You probably have always wondered what language is the word “safari”! This is a word that comes from the East African Swahili language and it simply means &#8220;voyage”, “travel” or &#8220;journey&#8221;. This word however has got an Arab origin as is most of the other Kiswahilli words.  From the earlier times around the 14th and 15th centuries when the Arab traders, ivory hunters and slave traders would travel extensively in the eastern and central parts of Africa, an expedition could sometimes be up to around 4200 people strong. In those days such an expedition was refered to as a &#8220;Safariya” and this was a major undertaking.<br />
Then came the Europeans in the heart of Africa for similar reasons; search of trade goods and colonisation. Am sure you’ve all heard of the Scottish traveller and missionary Dr. David Livingstone who, later in the 1800’s, explored the African interior for more than 30 years, unlocking its mysteries and and the natural  secrets. Then later came Sir Henry Morton Stanley, who was a journalist and writer. He was sent by their home newspaper called The herald in the year 1869 purposely to look for Dr. Livingstone who was missing and was assumed to have been  lost. Sir Henry Stanley is said to have found Dr.Livingstone in a small village of Ujiji, just on the side of Lake Tanganyika in the year 1871.<br />
This gives a brief history of safaris and how the word developed and became to be used.</p>
