Information about northern Tanzania

a personal scrapbook of "cuttings" from published sources

This website was developed between 1996 and 2008, but since then no updates have been posted, and the technology used to generate the pages has broken.

The look and feel of the website is hence a little dated, but it is at least "responsive" and should resize to display on a smartphone or tablet.

The site still gets lots of hits (2012: 200,000), and visits from Google (66% of visits). It is also cited as a reference source in several Wikipedia entries, so rather than delete it, the site remains, but unmaintained.

Forum

The website stimulated a lot of enquiries from people trying to get in touch with people mentioned on the site. So, in 2009 a forum was setup.

nTZ.info/wiki/ is a forum for people who live, or who have lived, in northern Tanzania to post their memories and get in contact with other registered users.

Please use the forum to make contact, in preference to sending a message to the webmaster.
