Not Tanzania, but I've experienced what my guide called the "African back-massage" of hours bouncing along corrugated roads into Serengeti National Park. I wouldn't mind flying next time, plus I think it'd be beautiful.

Serengeti National Park is actually in Tanzania :)

And a little triangular-shaped bit of the same ecosystem extends northward into Keya, where it is called the Masai Mara. The border between the two countries is marked only by some widely spaced stone pylons. There is no fence not any other indication that you are at an international border.

And in Masai Mara (just outside the gate), I am setting up a Safari lodge/camp site - specially targeting digital nomads and the backpacker crowd that looks for good internet connection (Starlink) and infrastructure + the community aspect which is really missing in that area.

Would be great to have thoughts / feedback from the HN Community. Also happy to chat in general if you're planning a safari trip :) Email is in my profile.

I've grown up in Tanzania and partially based in Kenya past few years and partially in California, I'm intimately familiar with the safari scene there. Spoiler - it's incredible.

That sounds rad. Would love to visit. Masai mara and Serengeti are incredible indeed.

Pleasantly surprised to see Tz on front-page for once rather than Ke.

Curious to hear more! I was there last year for the Migration Gravel Race. Amazing place.

Do you have a web site set up?

I grew up in Tanzania (Dar) too. Do we know each other? :)

LOL you are right, total brain melt from me. I was getting it mixed up with Zambia for some reason.
