Country name is a combination of the first syllables of Tanganyika and Zanzibar TAN + ZAN, We found paradise in the TAN and the ZAN hell.
Traditionally, planning began, and this trip was not "spontaneous". After the decision to change the Tanzanian African Moroccan had 3 months (only!) studying, plan, reserve, buying and retrofitting. I knew, that 3 there are some points of the program: safari, marathon and Zanzibar traditional "soaking feet after the race".
We chose the best deals on flights, and combinations came out of that 15 days in Africa. Destination airport in Dar es Salaam, Blisko will Zanzibaru. Booked hotels and after long and in-depth studies the most important point of the program safari. It was originally intended to be 3 day, get back on 1 the day before the marathon to Moshi quietly pick up the packages and get ready to run. Parks less spectacular than two, whose names evoked in me the thrill of Ngorongoro and Serengeti. I said, however,, that you only live once, Tanzania will probably just this once, This is not what most of those sacrifice.
And so on 10 days prior to departure, after long negotiations with the companies organizing the safari we chose the right offer. 4 days, accommodation in tents in parks and what is most important in Lake Manyara, Serengeti (dwa dni) i Ngorongoro. Back dangerously, because the evening before the marathon.
With the equipment we bought a universal charger plug (because they are "English") and two bottles of water filtration (level 2).
I flew.

We are fortunate in our travels, we plan to deliver in 100%, all accommodation units were successful, owners cordial, aircraft in normal time and we survived the adventure of a lifetime.
Conclusions
Africa will be with me forever, Now this word expresses a lot to me. Mixed pain, poverty, stunning nature, fear, delight and terror. There is no way to express it, However long we have to wonder whether we choose to Africa, perhaps no longer we go to those pages. What leads us to this?
Later in the relationship: Safari, means Africa, Zanzibar.
