We are in the early stages of planning an immersion-visit trip scheduled for wheels up on June 14 and at least two weeks in duration. An immersion trip includes travel to Tanzania, land transport to Dodoma, visits in parishes (staying in homes mostly, some in remote rural areas), some kind of service work, a visit to one of Tanzania's world-class parks, and a return trip home. Contact us for more information.

We are also planning a water-themed trip in 2012, again in the dry season. This is for Americans in the water and related sectors interested in exploring opportunities in the growing water sector in Tanzania. This trip will include travel to Tanzania, concentrating on Dodoma, the interior, and Kilimanjaro and the north, visits with key people in water development and project areas, and also a parks visit. When in Tanzania, don't miss it! Contact Stuart Smith for more information.
