Tanzanian children's book--"Rehema's Journey"
This is a really accurate picture of Tanzanian places, and is beautifully written from the viewpoint of a little Tanzanian girl whose father is a safari guide. I'll be reading it to my grandchildren, have recommended it to others who also love Tanzania, and may send it to a little Tanzanian girl whose father is a safari guide.

A great introduction to diverse cultures for children
I bought this book for our young children to prepare them before traveling to Tanzania.This book, with its photographs depicting a nine-year-old girl, her home and family, and her experiences on a journey to theNgorongoro crater, provided a concise, but accurate view of rural, city,and tribal life in Tanzania, as well as some of the animals that are nativeto the country's wildlife reserves.This book is a wonderful introductionto the similarities and differences of African life for children of manycultures. ...

Very informative, beautiful photos
This is the perfect book for an armchair traveller to Tanzania. It does a wonderful job of showing what the country has to offer, from culture to wildlife to history. The photos are stunning, the writing well-crafted.

This is *not*, however, a book I would choose to take with me when visiting the country. While it does provide some information on transportation and accomodations (mostly high-end), it is not geared towards the traveller 'on the ground.' Do buy this book and read it before you visit Tanzania, but take the Lonely Planet or a Rough Guide along for the trip.

Excellemt guide book of Tenzania. Great details!!
I found it most informative of all books on Tanzania.

Book Description
Arusha National Park in northern Tanzania, known for its scenic beauty, is also a battleground. Roderick Neumann's illuminating analysis shows how this park embodies all the political-ecological dilemmas facing protected areas throughout Africa. The roots of the ongoing struggle between the park on Mount Meru and the neighboring Meru peasant communities go much deeper, in Neumann's view, than the issues of poverty, population growth, and ignorance usually cited. These conflicts reflect differences that go back to the beginning of colonial rule. By imposing a European ideal of pristine wilderness, Neumann says, the establishment of national parks and protected areas displaced African meanings as well as material access to the land.
