Tanzania Suggested Routes of Travel. I plain to go to Tanzania for 4
weeks, Feb to March. I'm open to a travel route with an end point in
Zanzibar for a week to work on the tan and do some diving. I think I'll
have to bag the Killi climb...don't think my knee will make it. I'm open to
suggestions.

It might help if you'd tell us what you're interested in!
I'd suggest doing the Northern Circuit, Ngorongoro, Serengeti, Manyara &
Tarangire, with a look into Olduvai Gorge. Then down to Selous and/or Ruaha.
Then on to Zanzibar. This is prefectly doable in four weeks: we did it in
three weeks in '98. But if you're not inteterested in wildlife...
Info/pix from our trip on my website (in sig): nothing to sell!

Also....how bad are the little rains in Feb-March, will they pose a travel
problem.
Sorry, we were there in July, can't help.
I understand that the rains were very problematic that year, as it was an El
Nino event.

I will also carry a Digi camera...how tough is it to find an outlet
for rechargeable batteries??
If you're staying at the main safari lodges or 'luxury tented camps' it's
unlikely to be a problem. Lots of people were doing it even back then! They
run on generators which are switched off for several hours during the day:
times are normally posted, or you can ask when you check in. At that time,
people seemed often to be charging their batteries in the sockets around the
dining rooms during meal times.

Demand must be higher by now!

Slainte mhath, and safari njema.
