East Africa - Tanzania and Zanzibar. Globe Trekker

Description

In this Globe Trekker video, traveler Ian Wright begins his African adventure on the historic island of Zanzibar, a former center of the Arab-dominated slave trade that lasted until 1922, and traces the path of Dr. Livingstone, an explorer and antislavery campaigner, from a crocodile and hippo filled river safari on the world's biggest game reserve, Selous, to the scenic Kigoma on the western edge of Tanzania and the Gome Stream Chimpanzee colony run by famed anthropologist Dr. Jane Goddall. Along the way Wright makes time to wander the food markets of Zanzibar and visit Dar Es Salaam, the bustling capital of Tanzania. All this before a stunning hot air balloon ride over Tanzania's most famous game park, the Serengeti, populated by over 1.5 million wild animals, and an exhausting week-long climb to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest mountain.
