Pre-Trip Extension Itinerary YOUR O.A.T. ADVENTURE TRAVEL PLANNING GUIDE® Safari Serengeti: Tanzania Lodge & Tented Safari 2022 Small Groups: 8-16 travelers—guaranteed! (average of 13) Overseas Adventure Travel ® The Leader in Personalized Small Group Adventures on the Road Less Traveled 1 Dear Traveler, At last, the world is opening up again for curious travel lovers like you and me. And the O.A.T. Safari Serengeti: Tanzania Lodge & Tented Safari itinerary you’ve expressed interest in will be a wonderful way to resume the discoveries that bring us so much joy. You might soon be enjoying standout moments like these: Whether its elephants wading in a watering hole, wildebeests stampeding across the sweeping plains, hippos jostling for room in muddy waterways, or lions laying leisurely in a grassy haven, there is something truly unparalleled about the wealth of nature in Tanzania. But when I reflect on my time there, the most vivid memories are those of the people I’ve met along the way, like the remarkable Maasai people—a semi-nomadic tribe in the heart of Tanzania. You’ll experience their time-honored traditions during A Day in the Life of a Maasai village in Tarangire. You may step into their mud huts, sit down with a Maasai woman to learn about their intricate beadwork, tend to the livestock, or even try on their vibrant dress and join in on a dance celebration. As they welcome you into their boma (village), take this chance to truly get to know their culture and understand their daily lives. For me, the most striking reflection I made from my time here was how the Maasai women are the backbone of this tribal community. You’ll also visit a lesser-known known community in Arusha: the Albino Peacemaker Center. I was saddened to hear about the persecution of albinos in Tanzania—and Africa as a whole. Traditionally, albinism is seen as a punishment for past sins, rather than what it truly is: a genetic condition. Your visit will provide an intimate look into the center’s efforts to combat the negative perceptions associated with albinism and their hope for a more inclusive future. The way we see it, you’ve come a long way to experience the true culture—not some fairytale version of it. So we keep our groups small, with only 8-16 travelers (average 13) to ensure that your encounters with local people are as intimate and authentic as possible. It’s also why your O.A.T. Trip Experience Leader will be a resident “insider” who can show you the culture as only a local can. To ensure that your adventure is truly unique, put your own personal stamp on it. You can arrive early and stay later, add a pre- or post-trip extension, spend time in a Stopover city, or combine two or more trips. Plus, your itinerary offers ample free time so you can pursue your own interests. So until the day comes when you are off to enjoy your Safari Serengeti: Tanzania Lodge & Tented Safari adventure, I hope you will relish the fun and anticipation that this O.A.T. Adventure Travel Planning Guide® will inspire. Should you have further questions, feel free to call our Regional Adventure Counselors at 1-800-955-1925. Love and peace, Harriet R.

    Preprint of: Harvey, Andrew, and Abel Yamwaka Mreta. 2016. Swahili Loanwords in Gorwaa and Iraqw: Phonological and Morphological Observations. In the Jarida la Kiswahili la TATAKI. pp. 156-177. 201. no. 79. DOI: http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.2527517 Swahili Loanwords in Gorwaa and Iraqw: Phonological and Morphological Observations Andrew Harvey1 and Abel Yamwaka Mreta2 Abstract When Swahili words are borrowed into Gorwaa and Iraqw, they are typically nativized according to a series of observable patterns. This work offers an account of how Swahili borrowings are integrated phonologically and morphologically into these languages. Phonologically, non-native phonemes are typically replaced by native sounds which are featurally similar to the original Swahili phoneme, and where no such similar phoneme exists, the non-native sound is tolerated. In order to repair words whose etymon begins with a syllabic nasal, either a vowel is inserted to break up the cluster, or the initial nasal is deleted. Vowels are very often lengthened on the stressed (penultimate) syllable. Where Swahili words do not violate any phonological rule, they are adopted without change. Morphologically, borrowed verbs are assigned a verbal derivational ending to identify the forms as verbs. The gender system of Swahili differs markedly from Gorwaa and Iraqw, and, as such, every borrowed noun must be assigned a gender. Typically (but not always), this is done according to the phonetic form of the noun. Nouns ending in round vowels are assigned masculine gender and nouns ending in the front vowel are assigned feminine gender. Pluralizing forms whose base is singular, or singularizing forms whose base is plural are more complicated, with a series of weakly productive rules operating to assign number suffixes to base forms.

While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document h^i(^|eeh used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the qriginal submitted. ■ The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. I.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Mining Page(s)". IfJt was'possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are^spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you'complete continuity. 2. When an.image.on the film is obliterated with li large round black mark, it . is an if}dication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during, exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing' or chart, etc., was part of the material being V- photographed the photographer ' followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to .continue photoing fronTleft to right in equal sections with a small overlap.

  • Age, Generation and Time in a Tanzanian Chiefdom
    Catherine BAROIN [email protected] AGE, GENERATION AND TIME IN A TANZANIAN CHIEFDOM THE AGE SYSTEM OF THE RWA OF MOUNT MERU1 This article offers a new contribution to the much-discussed subject of the anthropology of age and generational systems in East Africa. Such systems have been observed in a large number of societies, assuming an extraordinary variety of forms that transcend linguistic and ethnic boundaries.They are found in a wide area extending from Sudan to Tanzania, passing through Ethiopia, Kenya and Uganda (Hazel 1985, Baxter and Almagor 1978, Kurimoto and Simonse 1998). It is worth recalling that these systems were first studied among Nilotic- or Cushitic-speaking shepherds or agropastoralists, developing in arid or semiarid zones. They are also found further south among Bantu-speaking populations that live on breeding and farming, such as the Kikuyu, Meru, Embu, Mbeere, Pokomo and Kuria peoples in Kenya. These groups have little structure and their age sets seem relatively dissociated from the rest of the social organization. But these systems serving a ritual or vaguely political purpose are dying out. It was in large part a work of reconstruction that enabled Peatrik (1999) to publish her rich description of the age system of the Tigania-Igembe Meru of Mount Kenya. At the beginning of her book, she emphasized the problems she initially had investigating a “buried” subject. Conversely, the age and generation system of the Rwa of Mount Meru in northern Tanzania is still very current. It is even undergoing a revival, and is the pride of the people it concerns.

  • German Colonialism, Race, and Space in East Africa, 1884-1895
    i BUILDING THE COLONIAL BORDER IMAGINARY: GERMAN COLONIALISM, RACE, AND SPACE IN EAST AFRICA, 1884-1895 A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Matthew Unangst December 2015 Examining Committee Members: Jay Lockenour, Advisory Chair, History Benjamin Talton, History Kathleen Biddick, History Michelle Moyd, External Member, Indiana University ii ABSTRACT Between 1884 and 1895 several different factions within Germany attempted to understand and control the spaces and peoples of East Africa, called Ostafrika in German. The tensions between their visions for East Africa and local geographies combined to create what I call the “colonial border imaginary,” a set of divisions and meanings for East African space that determined administrative approaches through the German colonial period and after. The different groups involved proposed different solutions to what Germans approached as a problem of development. Much of the dissension among the different parties was over how to understand the relationship between geographical space and people – in German, Land und Leute. The German East Africa Company proposed an approach based on remaking Land. By making East African space more like Germany, it could turn its Leute into productive components of the German economy, as well as making the colony an attractive destination for German emigration. The Foreign Office and missionary groups, in contrast, proposed remaking East African Leute before Land. In their thinking, the education and development of East African Leute would turn them into productive subjects and use them to remake Ostafrika’s Land into a productive colony.

After finalising my Bachelor’s degree in Molecular Science and Technology, I decided to start this particular program, as it provided the possibility to understand the role of technology in management, society and ethics. These interests led to the development of this research project and I am proud to have taken the opportunity to travel to Tanzania to conduct the field research. It turned out to be a incredible adventure, in which I submerged myself into a completely different culture and to see theory come to life in every-day Tanzanian business practices by visiting various companies and other organisations.
