1 David B. Collinge, Tanzanian northern circuit safari th December 2004 Arusha area, Tarangire, Gibb s Farm, Ngorongoro and Lake Safari operator: Birding and Beyond with Anthony W. Rafael (details p. 11) Supplemented by a trip to Kenya from 29 th to 4/1-05 (separate report). Separate report from a trip to Tanzania in I flew to Nairobi and took the Riverside shuttles bus to Arusha. I was met by a lady with a sign who promptly informed me that I should wait in the restaurant then the driver would come with my name and address written on a piece of paper and not to go with anyone else. It is critically important to have prearranged transportation in Nairobi. 45 minutes later the lady reappeared, and the shuttle arrived, shuttled us to a petrol station outside Nairobi and stuffed us into a slightly larger bus for Arusha (RH bus below). Be prepared for this: I was very happily installed on the first bus, and unprepared to move which meant that I ended up sitting on a rotten clap seat in the middle aisle for a 5 hour journey with a restricted view (having just spent the night in an aeroplane). Visa for Kenya costs US $50 or 50, which is another example of Europeans being screwed (at present exchange rates)! Open agricultural landscape until near the border then scrub landscape first zebra. Border crossing is fun and entailed all getting out of the bus and presenting exit cards and passports at the Kenyan side. Be aware of aggressive hawkers. Visas issued to the 3-4 parties who didn t have them from home. Then a further 90 minutes to Arusha through a drier landscape to the west side of Mt Meru. Saw more real animals here: Impala, Zebra and Ostrich. Arrived at the Shuttle terminal at the Mt Meru Hotel at 2 pm about 2 hrs late. Shuttled onto another bus bound for Moshi, arrived at MS-TCDC (20 Km) where my partner Brita was staying. This part of Tanzania is very densely populated maybe 600,000 between Moshi (70 Km from Arusha). The coffee plantations have visibly been neglected in the last 4 years and there are a lot more banana plantations. It was nice to be back in The MS-TCDC ( Danish NGO), in the same house that Brita lived in during her previous stay in (separate report available). Installed, we strolled the grounds. There have been changes, a new library, no cows, but best of all, a brand new

2 web café with decent computers. We strolled outside, forded the river and had views of Kilimanjaro. In the evening we met the proprietor of Birding and Beyond Anthony Rafael, our operator and guide for the trip and Gaitan, our driver and mammal guide for a beer at the TCDC bar. Familiar night sounds included vociferous Hadaba Ibis, a fruit bat and a Bush Baby. Vervet Monkey, Mt Kilimajaro Day 2! - 22/12 was also a working day for Brita. I accompanied her to the host institute, Horti- Tengeru, 6 Km down the road with a local bus, seating capacity 12. Rush hour capacity 25 plus market produce, chickens and goats. I successfully birded the grounds, finding the rare Woollynecked Stork in a tree. We walked back to the road with a sprite stop at the Mountain Village Lodge. Back at TCDC we packed for our safari in a thunderstorm, ready for an 8 am start. (bird list below) The scenery on the Arusha Moshi road. The overloaded mini busses daladala s are the mainstay of the cooperative public transport. Day 3 23/12-04: Safari Tanzania, the short Northern Circuit. From Arusha to Tarangire National Park. We were ready when Anthony and Gaitan arrived. After a brief stop in Arusha to pick up water, we headed west towards Tarangire National park, some 130 Km along a well maintained tarmac road (which heads for Dodoma, official capital city in the middle of the country, 430 Km from Arusha). Saw 75 spp bird on the way! The scenery is initially coffee plantations, then thorn scrub and savannah for the rest of the way. Much overgrazing and erosion, and the short rains have been late and patchy this year. I managed to sit on my sunglasses after a birding stop.

3 The Dodoma road, & a baobab very close to Tarangire. Note Maasai bomas family villages, a hut for each wife. We entered the park at 12:30 immediately greeted by herds of Gnu, Zebra and Impala as well as Warthogs. We also saw two colonies of small mongoose one the rufous Slender (below) and brown Banded like Timan in the Lion King. These were occupying adjacent termite hills. We drove to the lodge and had lunch elephants and a flock of Steppe and Lesser Spotted Eagles from the terrace. This has to be one of the finest views in Africa. At 3 pm we took the main game drive, heading for the marshes at the south of the park. Very constructive. The only carnivore was Bat-eared Fox something of a rarity, and we heard a Verreaux's Eagle-Owl also at the lodge. In total about 90 spp bird and mammal on that drive. We finished in time for the sunset on the terrace with a beer and our guides. Accommodation here is in permanent tents, with a thatched roof and own bathroom (curfew!), naturally all viewing the river, which means that we could hear the lion roaring, gnus grunting, and God knows what else. Long Crested Eagle and Southern Ground Hornbill

4 24/12-04 from Tarangire to Gibb s Farm. We awoke up at dawn without the need for an alarm. We drove directly but slowly out of the park, obtaining good though not excellent views of giraffes, and seeing over 60 spp. birds and mammal. Views below are from the tented lodge. Go for it!

Bat-eared Fox was the rarity to see.

5 We drove 26Km back towards Arusha then turned west on the safari road (actually it goes all the way to Lake Victoria, 308 Km). Four years ago this was an African Adventure dirt track. It is now a modern Tarmac road all the way to the gate of the NGA (Ngorongoro Conservation Area), where the adventure starts. Right: the Rift Valley escarpment with Lake. Our destination was Gibb s Farm, high on the Ngorongoro crater rim overlooking the highlands, with the wonderful address, Haile Selassie Plot No. 50, Karatu. Gibb was a British coffee farmer who had a 250 acre (hectare?) estate, confiscated by the British Custodian of Enemy Property from German s during the war. Our destination was Gibb s Farm, high on the Ngorongoro crater rim overlooking the highlands, with the wonderful address, Haile Selassie Plot No. 50, Karatu. Gibb was a British coffee farmer who had a 250 acre (hectare?) estate, confiscated by the British Custodian of Enemy Property from Germans during the war. In 1972 it became a small lodge and it is indeed an oasis, very like something from the colonial Out of Africa, though now managed by an American named Dale Jensen Of the three places we stayed on this trip, this was both the most charming and pleasant. After a rather late lunch we had a guided walk (compulsory) in the cloud forest accompanied by Anthony and a local. The clouds conveniently did their burst while we were having lunch (below right). Forest birding is frustrating for the uninitiated, so Brita and local guide left Anthony and I to do the hard work to walk up to the waterfall. Dessert on the terrace gave passable views of a Bush Baby (Lesser Galago) and excellent views of one of several Montane Nightjars. 25/12: from Gibb s Farm to the NCA. I took a pre-breakfast birding stroll through the edge of the forest.

Mammals: SMALL-EARED GALAGO, bushbuck We continued to the park entrance where a considerable amount of paperwork has to be done (20 min), including paying many fees - $30 per foreigner per day plus a further $30 descent fee to the crater etc. My full approval. They are trying to maximise profit to preserve it while minimising impact. Then a 22 Km drive to the Sopa Lodge. Anthony wanted to make sure we were checked in BEFORE our drive due to overbooking. He succeeded. Immediate descent to the crater and leisurely drive to the picnic area viewing lions, cheetahs, 4 spp. antelope, elephants én route. You name it! 1. Park entrance. 2. First crater view elephants, rhinos etc from here. 3. Lobby of the Sopa Lodge. 4. Acacias at the descent. 5. Zebra crossing in the crater. Hard to believe this is a cloud forest we did not see the view in 2000

Hippos on the crater floor through the telescope. This is truly one of the wonders of the world. A 22 km diameter and 260 Km 2 in area intact caldera teaming with wildlife we saw 22 spp mammal & 90 birds As usual, we were among the last to be ready for a meal our reserved table was passed on. 9pm before we made it in, to see Santa distribute gifts to the kids. Our slumbers were interrupted by a Dormouse nibbling the mince pie left over from our afternoon tea on the terrace.

I awoke at dawn to a crashing noise. A troupe of Blue Monkeys was bouncing along the roofs of the terraced rooms. Outside, two Tree Hyraxes were bonking on the grass, and the first intrepid explorers were heading for an early breakfast before their early descent to the crater floor. We were ready for off at 8:30, heading for home. We made the park exit at an acceptable 10:35 and didn t have to pay fees for a further 24 hrs. Back on a decent road we were at the Lake entrance an hour later. Most of the reserve is forest fed by springs from the escarpment. The scenically most interesting part is at the southern end of the reserve at the lake side. This is also the most productive, ornithologically. Fortunately, a couple of giraffes approached close by as Anthony and I were battling with winter plumage marsh terns and silhouettes of ducks.

9 We left the park at about 3pm and headed towards Arusha. On the east side of the rift valley we stopped at a Maasai Boma which has been built by a group of local villages for tourists, i.e., leave us alone, but we will treat you as equals here, as long as you buy some of our souvenirs. As one of our guide books says, tourists tend to treat the Maasai as the 6 th species of the Big Five. This project is run by women from 5-6 local villages, though it was a young man who did the talking. The young man aspired to study medicine. There is real wealth, but different values the herd of cattle is the wealth, maybe worth the price of 5 landrovers! Hippo pool, Water Thick-knee, Grey-headed Kingfisher, Red-billed Oxpecker, White Pelican, Egyptian Goose, Warthog. We were taken through 950 Km of some of the finest scenery on the planet, saw some of the most spectacular animals and birds, visited an alien culture and saw the preserved vestiges of a colonial culture long gone. 27 & 28/12 MS-TCDC. These were rest days for me though Brita went to work both days to sort out various things. I sorted out the pictures from Tanzania and wrote part 1 of this journal. In the evening we forced entry to the computer room and checked some mails, but the internet communication was not working very well so I failed to send more than a few lines to a few people (only those who had sent me mails since the address book system is a pain in the neck). On the 28 th I borrowed the key to the sewage treatment plant and took 165 pictures of waterbirds through the telescope. This gave a few fine images worth keeping! On 28/12 I took a walk that Brita and I had taken four years before. I was pleased to remember the route. Up through the adjacent village talking to the kids Na tafuta ndege (I am looking for birds) is essential Swahili for weirdoes like me who walk through the area with a telescope etc. There were Colobus monkeys in precisely the same trees as 4 years ago. Then through a maize field highly infected with what I presume is maize streak virus. Then past the water cress farm, where women were picking, and others doing their washing, watched by an African Fish Eagle sitting above. Up to the Ngere Sero lodge lake where there is quiet lake full of birds. Through more agricultural land where we took some pictures of a

10 mixed cultivation of banana, coffee and bean a few years before. Back at 2:30 only to find that Brita was already home, fortunately let in by a cleaner. two young Maasai giraffes crossing the road just before the border. The driver showed them great respect!

11 GUEREZA (Colobus), Vervet Monkey, Sykes Monkey, Small-eared Galago, ROUSETTE BAT, Burchell's Zebra, Impala 29/12 We left Arusha at 8 am for Nairobi with the Riverside shuttle, price Tz shillings (52 Kr or $10), as opposed to the US$ 30 I paid for the same service through the net. This is the same as we gave for the taxi from MS-TCDC for the 20 Km ride to the shuttle terminal at the Mt Meru Hotel in Arusha he also quoted $20 for the ride, but MS said 10K, local! We arrived in good time and had (in our humble opinion) the best seats on the bus, as opposed to my trip down where I suffered for 5 hrs on a clap down seat in the centre aisle. As we on the bus, Anthony, our operator and tour guide in Tanzania arrived to wish us the best. Unexpected and a very nice touch. The trip to Nairobi was uneventful, the Kenyan customs were not as thorough as their Tanzanian colleagues, Brita received a stamp in her passport for the princely sum of $50 (as opposed being ripped off 50!). The weather was kind and we saw masses of wildlife on the way Thompson s Gazelle, Zebra, Hartebeest, Impala and a large ground squirrel. See the Kenya report for that part of the trip Safari organised by: Anthony W Raphael BIRDING & BEYOND SAFARIS, P.O. Box 11500, Arusha, Tanzania, Telephone: Fax: s: tours@birdingsafaris.com & tours@tanzaniabirding.com & Anthony is an expert birder, no doubt! Has a lot of stake outs and knows his cisticolas! His safaris are not cheap as he is a small operator, but I would use him again. There are two good bird guides: Stevenson & Zimmeman. The former is better for Tanzania but as it was unavailable for my first trip. I benefited from having both with me. I have the Kingdon Guide for the mammals, as opposed to the shorter field guide. Same pictures in the latter, half the weight
