Met with Annemarie today to talk about booking Safari's, flights and what else to do or not to do in Tanzania. Because booking things and traveling solo is a bit tricky here with so many crooks around and few trustworthy tour companies. Like Erna she is from the Netherlands and has been living here for a long time as well. She was so nice and offered to help me with the bookings because it's quite difficult this time of the year so close to Christmas. Things are pretty booked out or overpriced since many Europeans travel here for the holidays. Something I did not think of before I came here :(
Traf mich heute mit Annemarie um ueber die Buchungen der Safari's und Fluege zu sprechen und was man sonst alles noch tun oder lassen sollte
. Weil Reservierungen fuer eine Person und Soloreisen allgemein hier schwierig zu organisieren sind. Auch wegen der Betrueger und unserioesen Touranbieter ueberall im Land. Wie Erna kommt Annemarie aus den Niederlanden und lebt hier auch schon viele Jahre. Sie war so nett und bot mir an bei den Buchungen zu helfen, da es ausserdem um die Weihnachtszeit nicht leicht ist noch kurzfristig etwas zu finden und mit den Fluegen zu koordinieren. Viele Europaeer kommen ueber die Feiertage fuer Safari's nach Tanzania und das laesst obendrein die Preise steigen. Dinge die ich leider nicht bedacht hatte bevor ich hierher kam :(
