Tanzania with nun connection and hyena in front of the tent

"Tanzania with a nun's connection and a hyena in front of the tent" is a story of curiosity, an almost insatiable thirst for adventure and cultural clash.

The picture of Tanzania that Karin Dümke creates takes the reader from luxurious lodges to a former mission on Kilimanjaro and diving trips to Zanzibar. The reader meets superficial tourists as well as devout local nuns and people who love Tanzania like the author herself, but also historical figures such as Ernest Hemingway, Karen Blixen and Emily Ruete.

The book also offers a vivid portrayal of the rapid changes, both positive and negative, in a country that is far removed from us, and not just for tourism.

Anyone who gets involved will want to pack their bags and fly to Tanzania.
