DAR ES SALAAM, TANZANIA

Published by Nicole Isaacs

     I had never been to Africa before. I was so anxious and excited leading up to the trip. We had an incredible itinerary with lots of exciting things planned and a lot of charity work involved. I didn’t know where to begin to prepare myself, so I decided to begin by going through my closet and packing up half my wardrobe to give away while being there. We knew we were going to visit a primary school which really needed school supplies, so we packed up suitcases filled with school supply necessities. I also had to get the necessary shots before traveling to Africa (and if anyone knows me they know that is my biggest fear in life), so I had major anxiety leading up to that. I also knew I was going to meet the President of Tanzania, which I was really excited about. I packed up 8 big bags of luggage and was finally ready to go.

My trip to Tanzania was indescribable. I feel like no words or blog post can do it justice. It was the trip of a lifetime and I am extremely blessed to have experienced it.  I didn’t want to take a vacation…I wanted a life changing trip.  I went with an incredible group of friends which made the experience even more unforgettable. We did so much that we had a trip and vacation all in one which was really special.  We did a lot of charity/community service work in the city of Dar Es Salaam, stayed in a camp near  Lake Natron and visited the Masai people and their villages, experienced a wildlife safari for the first time in the Serengeti, and ended the trip on the beautiful white sand beaches of Zanzibar and Mnemba Island.  I can’t sum up the trip  in one post, so I am planning to do a couple posts to break things up and make it easier to read.

AFRICA

I am so excited to leave for Africa today. I didn’t just want to go on vacation, I wanted to take a life-changing trip. I’ve been feeling the need to escape the “Hollywood” bubble that I work and live in and do something to make a difference and help make the world a better place. Africa seemed like the perfect answer for me right now. I am visiting Tanzania and have an amazing itinerary planned (some activities include visiting schools, orphanages, and villages, going on a  safari, hunting in the Serengeti, and visiting the beaches of Zanzibar). I am bringing several suitcases of clothing, school supplies, and other items to donate.  I am truly blessed for this opportunity to learn about the culture and traditions in an incredible way. I can’t wait to share my experience with you on my blog and social media! I hope this trip encourages and inspires more people to visit this beautiful country. Stay tuned…
