Tanzania - Travel Video.  DVD.  7 Days.  52 Minutes.
Tanzania is the largest country in East Africa and is located slightly south of the Equator. Its large variety of nature is overwhelming and includes the Serengeti and Selous Nature Reserves, the snow-covered Kilimanjaro and the spice island of Zanzibar in the Indian Ocean. It is a country of superlatives that originated in 1964 as a result of the union of two independent countries, Tanganika and Zanzibar.

On the slopes of Meru and Kilimanjaro, coffee, maize, bananas and vegetables are grown and then offered for sale at various markets. Due to its fertile volcanic soil the entire region has been used for agriculture since the middle of the 19th century by both the Arusha Massai and Meru tribes.

The Arusha National Park is one of the most beautiful parks in Africa and its green forests are a perfect playground for the countless monkeys that live there. Around 20 million years ago its landscape was created due to volcanic activity and wonderful craters were formed as well as impressive volcanic cones.

The swampy forest on the slopes of the Rift Valley features more than 30 different varieties of tree, an impressive area that offers distant views across fascinating and untouched nature and for the many wealthy tourists who spend their money in the region there are various special locations that provide excellent accommodation.

The origins of the Selous Game Reserve date back to German colonial times at the beginning of the twentieth century. Later, under British rule, they were united into a large protected area.

Tanzania is a natural paradise that is still known by only a few. It is an exotic country and one that is still waiting to be explored!

Africa's Animal Oasis - Travel Video.  VHS.  National Geographic.

Journey to the heart of Africa - Tanzania's Ngorongoro Crater.  Here abundant plant life and a year-round supply of fresh water transform an extinct volcanic crater into a spectacular wildlife oasis.  Discover the dazzling concentration of animals such as wildebeest, zebras, flamingoes, elephants, and rhinos who flourish from the crater's bounty.  Their compact presence makes this natural amphitheater a predator's paradise, where each day brings an intense battle for survival.
   Witness the birth of a wildebeest calf who must be on its feet within minutes or fall prey to resident carnivores.  Follow the call of hyena clans on the hunt as they search out their next meal.  And feel the tension mount as 280 pounds of lion takes on three tons of hippo. You'll experience the splendor of the natural world as never before.  55 minutes.

Review: Upon the African continent lies Tanzania's Ngorongoro Crater, the middle of an extinct volcano with conditions so optimal for animal life that there are 20,000 beasts crowded into it. But the very conditions that allow the animal population in general to thrive also make it difficult for the individual to survive.  This drama is played out time and again, as viewers watch a nervy lioness enter a hippo enclave to make a meal of one of their dead or as hyenas attack and kill a cub from a rival family.  Newborn wildebeest are up on their feet within minutes of birth, running within the half-hour, and yet one in four will perish.

   Photographers capture images of the Masai who (legally) bring their herds into the protected area for water with apparently little effect.  Juxtaposed are images of picnicking tourists on the canyon rim laughing as aggressive birds steal their sandwiches.  The film-makers don't hesitate to indict the visitors and the 100 vehicles a day they bring to the canyon rim for threatening the isolation of this unusual place and its wild way of life.

Wings Over Serengeti - Travel Video.  VHS.  National Geographic.

A circle of life - and death - on the African plains. In this magnificently filmed saga, nature's most misunderstood creatures are revealed as an integral part of Africa's bounty.  Vultures and other scavengers recycle the raw elements of life; if not for them, the plains would be an immense graveyard.  From the mighty lion to the lowly dung beetle, each creature has a place in Africa's circle of life.

   High above the tooth-and-claw drama of the Serengeti, nature's undertakers are watching and waiting.  Reviled but vital, vultures bide their time until the inevitable feasting opportunity.  Any unlucky carcass is dispatched in a matter of minutes by a feeding frenzy that attracts jackals and hyenas along with vultures.  Scavenging insects swarm over the remaining bones and horns. 

   Time-lapse photography and unique point-of-view filming highlight the stunning beauty of this documentary.  60 minutes.

Review: In the heat-withered Serengeti, a hungry lioness spots her unsuspecting prey and springs into action.  National Geographic has brought us this and similar scenes before, but Wings over the Serengeti reveals the complex aftermath of the kill.  As the lioness struggles to drag her prize to safety, the smell of fresh meat instantly broadcasts across the plains, drawing a wave of scavengers who will move in for the next taste.

While this film focuses primarily on the griffin vulture ("nature's undertaker"), it considers the role of all scavengers in this harsh ecosystem--generally despised as harbingers of death, they actually help maintain the health of the savanna by disposing of waste and returning nutrients to the soil.  Insect larvae dissolve skeletons, and the bumbling dung beetle distributes its little nitrogen-rich packages evenly across the land.  Lingering images of carnage are not for the faint of heart, but the film is an interesting study of the transformation from death to life.

Stone Town - Travel Video.  DVD.  Global Treasures.  10 Minutes.
Stone Town is one of the oldest districts in the city of Zanzibar, East Africa’s oldest town that is still inhabited today.

In addition to beautiful windows it is the city’s richly decorated doors that have become a unique feature of Zanzibar’s architecture. The colourful spirit of the city can be experienced in the many labyrinth-like markets that bring Stone Town to life. The chaos, excitement and hectic pace of the fruit and vegetable markets is a real feast of the senses.

Up until the end of the nineteenth century Zanzibar’s central slave market was held on the site of today’s Anglican Church. A fascinating group of sculptures recalls this dark and cruel chapter of the island’s history, a highly profitable business that was controlled by the Arabian upper classes.

Following the revolution of 1964 the Sultan’s Palace was also transformed and today it is the People’s Palace and is open to the public. It contains a museum that provides a fascinating insight into the opulent lifestyle of the Sultan’s court.

Stone Town days usually come to their most beautiful climax when the fishing boats return to the harbour and the setting sun fills the sky with a kaleidoscopic array of magnificent colours.

Discoveries Africa, Tanzania: Tarangire National Park - Travel Video - DVD.  Bennett-Watt Productions.
Tarangire National Park lies to the south of the large open grass plains of southern Maasailand and is the best-kept secret on the “northern safari circuit”.  This park has the largest population of Elephants anywhere in Tanzania.  Its sparse vegetation, strewn with Baobab and Acacia trees, makes it an incredible location. Baobab trees are one of the world’s oldest trees and can survive up to 3000 years. Families of elephants play, graze and rest around the ancient trunks of Baobab trees and strip Acacia bark from the thorn trees for their afternoon meal. Herds of Elephants scratch river beds for underground streams. It is estimated 2500 Elephant make Tarangire their home consisting of approximately 32 distinct family groups.
A physically fit elephant can survive for 72 years. Natural death comes when their teeth can no longer function. Tarangire National Park has the greatest concentration of wildlife outside the Serengeti ecosystem, second only to the crowded Ngorongoro Crater. During the dry season, the Tarangire River has shrivelled to a shadow of its wet season self, but it is choked with wildlife. Thirsty nomads have wandered hundreds of parched kilometers knowing that there is always water here.  Predators rarely go hungry as their prey is attracted to the water as they lie in wait nearby.
The swamps, tinged green year round, are the focus for 550 bird varieties, the most breeding species in one habitat anywhere in the world. Highlights include a variety of game animals in addition to Cheetah stalking a herd of Impala, a pair of Lions on their “honeymoon”, large herd of Cape Buffalo, Kikoti Lodge, a safari guide school and a virtual parade of Elephants.

Tanzania: Thorn Tree Country - Travel Video.  VHS.  National Geographic.

Review: "I loved this program. It featured the nature living in and around the Acacia forests of Tanzania. This was nature from a new perspective.

   A species of Chameleon is shown along with their babies. I loved the footage of the baby chameleons catching baby spiderlings out of their web as they hatch.  They were very cute.

 
   It also showed hyenas, lions, giraffes, elephants, wildebeests, leopards, cobras, and other animals. I loved it and so will you."

Zanzibar Island - Travel Video.  DVD.  Vista Point.  26 Minutes.
Zanzibar is a paradise-like island just off the Tanzanian coast. An island of spice and exotic aromas, sultans’ palaces, harems, shining white beaches and fiery red sunsets.

The ancient oriental city of Zanzibar derived its name from its many old stone buildings. Charming and mysterious they have witnessed much of the island’s dramatic past and the tangled architecture of coral stone and shell lime serves as a fascinating backdrop to this colourful city that is strongly influenced by an Arabian way of life.

In the north of the old town is one of the island’s most beautiful buildings, the Ismali Dispensarium. It was built by a wealthy Indian businessman and was originally a hospital with an adjoining pharmacy. Today it contains a cultural centre.

The house of the infamous Tippu Tip who was once Zanzibar’s biggest slave trader, has not yet been restored. He was an extremely unpleasant man who sent his servants into the African bush to catch slaves who were later sold in Zanzibar Livingstone House was built in 1861. The famous missionary and explorer once resided there prior to going on his final expedition. He was frequently the guest of Tippu Tip who offered Dr. Livingstone various maps that were based upon his slave routes.

A tropical paradise just off the African coast with the flair of the Orient, historic architecture and the colours of Africa. Zanzibar is most assuredly a legendary and fairy-tale island of global culture.
