Justin Timberlake & Jessica Biel Honeymoon in Tanzania

http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-...nzania-2012211

After tying the knot in an intimate, luxurious weeklong extravaganza at the Borgo Egnaza resort in southern Italy, newlyweds Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel, newly released photos from Oct. 21 (two days after the wedding) reveal Timberlake, 31, and wife Biel, 30, arriving via private plane in Tanzania, on the southeastern coast of Africa. That same day, the boarded a helicopter from Kilimanjaro Airport to Singita Grumeti, a private reserve in Serengeti Park. There, the couple reportedly checked out the world famous wildlife via 4 x 4s, took a hot air balloon ride and kicked back in a luxurious lodge.

For her part, Biel has already adventured in Tanzania: Back in January 2010, the Total Recall actress reached the 19,341 peak of Mount Kilimanjaro -- the world's tallest mountain! -- following a grueling week-long climb. Joined by fellow actors Emile Hirsch and Isabel Lucas, musicians Santigold and Lupe Fiasco and others, Biel joined the all-star expedition to help raise money and awarenes of the global clean water crisis.

Singer-actor Timberlake opened up about the wedding itself to Britain's Hello! magazine -- and confirmed that he serenaded his bride with a brand-new, original song as she walked down the aisle in a custom, pink Giambattista Valli gown.

"I figured if there was something I was going to be able to offer, it would be to sing her down the aisle," the "Cry Me a River" crooner said. And he brought down the house!

"Grown men were weeping. Hopefully it's because I didn't sound bad," he said.

Africa’s tourism fortunes ‘to grow’ Send to a friend
Saturday, 13 October 2012 23:02

By The Citizen Reporter
Arusha. Number of tourists visiting Africa has been predicted to more than double in the next 15 years, improving prospects for the industry, as there is an increase in number of both natural and cultural attractions, it was announced here yesterday.

Deputy minister for Natural Resources and Tourism Lazaro Nyalandu told reporters here that the continent was increasingly becoming an important destination for global visitors.

He was introducing to reporters the first Pan African Conference on Sustainable Tourism Management kicking off here tomorrow at the Arusha International Conference Centre (AICC).

He said the deliberate efforts countries have been making have seen the sector becoming an important player in building the economy.

Mr Nyalandu said the five-day conference, organised by his ministry in collaboration with the World Tourism Organisation (WTO) -- a specialised agency of the United Nations -- aims to address the challenges facing the sector and conservation, its most important component.

It becomes the fourth largest meetings to be organised in Arusha this year after the 2012 Annual Meetings of the African Development Bank (AfDB) last May and the recent African Ministerial Conference on Environment (AMCEN) and African Green Revolution Forum (AGRF). A total of 412 official delegates from about 40 countries in Africa are expected, he said, adding that Tanzania will capitalise on the event and will send at least 242 of its officials to the meeting.

The foreign delegates will include 13 ministers in charge of tourism and conservation dockets from Cameroon, Central African Republic (CAR), Guinea, Mali, Mauritania, Mozambique, Namibia, Niger, Seychelles, Sierra Leone, Uganda and the host, Tanzania.

"This conference is taking place at a time when tourism industry is making significant gains in Africa. The number of visitors will more than double in the next 15 years because of improved marketing and facilities," Mr Nyalandu pointed out.

According to WTO, the tourism industry in Africa is currently growing at a respectable average rate of 7.2 per cent. One out of every 20 jobs in Africa is in the tour and travel industry.

But developing tourism in the world's poorest continent requires a host of factors besides the lovely lodges.
These include improved safety and security, health and hygiene, infrastructure, education and training, according to industry analysts.

The other is increasing investment in the sector, for which the deputy minister said Tanzania has done well in the last 15 years, which now leads in earning the country foreign exchange.

Statistics show that the country attracts over 800,000 foreign tourists who bring in an estimated $1 billion. But with world-famed attractions such as the Serengeti, Mt Kilimanjaro, Ngorongoro Crater and other historical sites, the figure could soon be higher.

"We are taking no chances. Tanzania has put in place appropriate policies, good investment environment and full involvement of the private sector and non-governmental organisations to boost the industry," he said.

Available statistics indicate African continent received about 50 million tourists last year -- a mere fraction of the world total. But supporting and investing in tourism benefits have had a multiplier effects.

TANAPA to build hotels in National Parks
By In2EastAfrica Reporter


The Tanzania National Parks (TANAPA) is in the process of building tourist hotels in a number of the country’s National Parks.



TANAPA’s Director General, Mr Allan Kijazi, says that the custodian of the National Parks has started operating tourist property in the country’s 16 game parks, especially the most visited attractions.

“All hotels, lodges and campsites operating in our National Parks are privately owned and run,” explained Mr Kijazi, adding that TANAPA has very little, if any, control over the related business and especially what the investors charge visitors or the type of services being offered.

Foreign- owned properties in National Parks have also been described as the main stumbling blocks in the development of domestic tourism since their boarding packages have always been very expensive and usually targeting foreign visitors.

Property in the parks charge between 350 US dollars and 1,500 dollars per room, per night, which means local Tanzanians are automatically walled from accessing their services and as the result the related park visits are confined to only tourists from overseas countries.

“TANAPA intends to construct luxurious lodges in the country’s largest National Park; Ruaha, the second largest Serengeti, as well as in Mikumi Game Park in order to diversify tourism by extending the industry southwards,” said Mr Kijazi, adding that the fourth lodge will be built in Tarangire, famous for its giant elephants and tree-climbing pythons.

Recently, the parliamentary committee in charge of Land, Natural Resources and Environment, led by Legislator James Lembeli toured some of the National Parks, including Serengeti, where they wanted to know why all properties operating in the game parks were foreign-owned.

They also demanded to be told why both the Tanzania National Parks (TANAPA) and Ngorongoro Conservation Area Authority (NCAA) did not bid to buy properties formerly operated under the state-owned, Tanzania Hotels Investment when they were put up for sale a decade ago.

Mr Kijazi explained that the Parastatal Sector Reform Commission which was supervising sales of properties, had made it clear that institutions like TANAPA and NCAA would not be permitted to place bids for the hotels because, “One parastatal could not be allowed to buy another parastatal.”

Arusha Hotel comes of Age
Published: 07 December 2012
Hits: 83
By Thomas Ratsim

On November 16, 1928 the opening ball of the Arusha Hotel, was attended by His Royal Highness Prince of Wales Edward (abdicated King Edward VIII). He was also accompanied by his brother His Royal Highness Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester.

It was semi-official trip for the royal visitors. What a feast in Arusha Township as all the Europeans around Arusha particularly the farmers were invited!

The hotel organized a bash which included Maasai traditional dance. A battalion of King’s African Rifles paraded for inspection. Football was played.

Arusha hotel had hardly accommodated the royal visitors. Therefore, other guests were compelled to pitch the tents of the grounds around the hotel.


The rear view of the multi-storey New Arusha Hotel complex as it stands in 2012.

“I am Prince of Wales”

After divorce between Baroness Karen Blixen and Baron Bror was pronounced in 1925, the estranged husband together with his friends Philip Percival and Jeff Manley established the hunting firm known as Tanganyika Guides Limited.

The 20th Prince Edward was accompanied by his brother His Royal Highness Henry, Duke of Gloucester, hunting guide Honourable Denys Finch Hatton, son of the 13th Earl of Winchilsea and Nottingham, Captain Alan Lascelles and Piers Leigh, Prince’s aide-de-camp.

Prince Edward was interested to hunt a lion and Finch-Hatton had recommended to employees Bror Blixen for the lion as he was the lion specialist.

On the day slated for opening of Arusha Hotel on November 16, 1928, Swedish Baron Bror von Blixen-Finecke and his wife Baroness Cockie (Jacqueline) had driven 184 kilomettres from their Endasagu Farm about 10 kilometres west of Babati to meet the royal British visitors in Arusha.

While camped on the grounds of the Arusha Hotel, in the evening as Blixen and Cockie were mixing cocktails, the tent flap opened and a person came into the tent and said, “I am the Prince of Wales and would like to make your acquaintance,” said Edward.

After drinking and dinner, Bror agreed to accompany the royal safari and he pledged to help the Prince of Wales in the lion hunt.

Hemingway at the Hotel

The famous American Writer Ernest Miller Hemingway (1899 – 1961) having been ardently inspired by Theodore Roosevelt’s stories about hunting safari in Africa, the Hemingways (Ernest and his second wife Pauline) and their friend Charles Thompson left Marseilles, France on 22nd November, 1933 for a three-month trip in East Africa.

The objective of the trip financed through a loan of $25,000 disbursed by Pauline’s uncle, Gustavus Pfeiffer (the same uncle who helped them buy their Key West home), was to spend three months on hunting expedition as well as gathering material for his impending writing.

As part of preparation for safari to Africa, a lady by the name Jane Mason had helpfully introduced Ernest to Major Richard Cooper, and Cooper communicated through Jane his advice of suitable guns Ernest should bring for hunting. He also contacted his friend Baron Bror von Blixen of Tanganyika Guides. Blixen, the estranged husband of Danish writer Karen Blixen (Isak Dinesen). Karen is the author of famous Out Africa book. Baron Blixen was once a guide and a manager of Major Cooper’s farm, near Babati.

After his safari in Mombasa, Nairobi and Machakos in Kenya, on 20th December, 1933, the party proceeded to Tanganyika with the intention to hunt in the then Serengeti Game Reserve. On 21st December the party arrived in Arusha and stopped at the Arusha hotel to swim in the pool and dinner.

On his trip Hemingway’s guide was Philip Hope Percival, who also had guided Theodore Roosevelt on his 1909 safari.

However, while in Serengeti fell ill suffering an amoebic dysentery. Due to this ailment, he was flown to Nairobi via Arusha Airport. While recuperating in Nairobi, Hemingway met Baron Blixen, who later joined the expedition in Tanganyika. Philip Percival and Bror Blixen were for a time in a partnership.

Baron Blixen's hunting firm was Tanganyika Guides; Percival's, firm African Guides, was based in Kenya.

After hunting in Serengeti, they returned to M’utu-Umbu (Hemingway’s rendering for Mto wa Mbu), “where we could look down and see the plain, the heavy forest below the wall, and the long dried up edged shine of Lake Manyara rose-colored at one end with a half million tiny dots that were flamingoes”.

From Manyara, the party proceeded to south-east of Lake Manyara, which is the present Tarangire National Park, where they expected to kill Kudu. Hemingway regretted by not seeing one and he stated in his book Green Hills of Africa, “But we never saw a kudu bull out of that camp and we left two days later to go into Babati and then to go to Kondoa and strike across country toward Handeni and the coast.” Hemingway appreciated the new country as he found kudu and sable in the open area.

After passing Kibaya, Hemingway admired the country and wrote, “Then the plain was behind us and ahead there were big trees and we were entering a country the loveliest that I had seen in Africa.”

Here we can also infer that the Hemingway party also did hunting in the ecosystem of newly established Saadani National Park before taking a boat for a sail to Mombasa for their departure on 28th February, 1934.

Evidently, as a result of the trip three of his books, narrative story of his expedition, Green Hills of Africa, and the two short fictions, the Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber and the Snows of Kilimanjaro Hemingway, 1954 Nobel Laureate in literature died on 2nd July, 1961 in Idaho, USA.

NEW INTERNATIONAL HOTEL TO CHANGE FACE OF DAR SKIES

City of Dar es Salaam by Osse Greca Sinare, on Flickr

The skyline of the new central business district in the city will soon change with the development of an international hotel at the junction of Ghana Avenue and Mrambo Street.
Construction of a US$32m project is expected to commence in mid-2013 and the hotel operational by August 2015. The hotel will be operated and managed by a renowned international chain and negotiations have reached an advanced stage. zSpeaking to press yesterday in Dar es Salaam, Mr. Said Ally Said, the General Manager of Prime Assets (Tanzania) Limited, which is the developer of this project, said the hotel will feature 150 spacious golf-course and sea-facing rooms with modern conveniences.







Other facilities will include top quality food and beverage outlets, a large conference room with video conferencing facilities, boardrooms and a fully equipped gym and pool. He added that guests and meeting delegates will have free high-speed internet access throughout the building including the use of a dedicated 24-hour business centre.






He said the energy efficient building will be in full compliance with brand standards, environmental, city and other planning regulations.



Mr. Said Ally said that besides contributing to the national tax coffers, the project would provide training and employment opportunities to young Tanzanians aspiring to pursue internationally recognized hospitality related careers.




According to the property manager, the project will alleviate the current shortage of hotel rooms necessary to attract Dar es Salaam as a destination for international conferences and exhibitions in the region particularly, as the regional economies continue to expand at the rate of six percent (6%) and air traffic expected to grow by eight percent (8%) annually.



“Hotels are catalytic to the development of business and tourism infrastructure and wherever we go, we continue to receive tremendous support. This boosts our confidence as it signals the Government’s earnest commitment to attract large scale investments, for which we are very grateful”, commented Mr. Ally

well to be fair enough kwa gharama hiyo sitarajii kitu cha maana lets say kama Kilimanjaro Hotel maaana Hyatt hotel Kilimanjaro's (at the time Kempisnki) rehabilitation cost was US$ 40 mio. na ikumbukwe walinunulia iliyokuwa Kilimanjaro Hotel! In short sidhani kama hii hotel itakuwa 5 stars! What a wastage of that prime land! Ufisadi na kutokuwa na vision ndo unatupeleka huku tulipo hata Hotel Agip na Embassy hotel tunadanganywa tu inajengwa inajengwa! Lakini hamna kinachotokea! miradi ya watu hii, ningekuwa na uwezo ningepiga marufuku ujenzi wa hotel ya chini ya nyota 5 na vyumba 180 within the CBD area!

Kwa kukutolea mifano hai, Hiyo pesa ni kama iliyotumika kujenga uwanja mpya wa Taifa. Hiyo pesa ni karibu mara mbili ya pesa iliyotumika kujenga makao makuu mapya ya EAC....

Inawezekana kuwa na ghorofa kati ya 15-20 hii itategemeana na design yake na ukubwa (urefu na upana) wa kiwanja. Mwenyewe anasema itakuwa na 150 rooms. Kumbuka, Kilimanjaro Kempiski ina vyumba 180 lakini design yake ni pana kichinichini hawakutaka kujenga kwenda juu zaidi ya ghorofa 7.

Suala la star rating gani nadhani litategemeana zaidi na wao kama watatimiza vigezo vilivyowekwa....

Hio pesa ni ndogo kwa ujenzi wa hotel hasa kwa sifa zilizotangazwa. Gharama kubwa ya ujenzi inakua kwenye finishings. Kila room ina choo, bafu, nk. Wakijitahidi sana watajenga kama holiday inn. Ki 3 star kidogo.

It is possible to construct a 5 hotel for that amount. Kumbuka star ratings hazitegemei ukubwa wa jengo husika.

Na uzuri zaidi teknolojia mpya za ujenzi na materials kama prefabs vimepunguza sana gharama za ujenzi wa majengo.
