Summer has come to pass, the internship can never last…
After two and a half months of in-country work, the time has come for our internship to meet its bittersweet end.
Although our time in Tanzania has come to a close, we are thrilled to say that our on-going projects will continue to thrive year-round in our absence, especially as the 2023 International Travel Team begins their transition to new executive roles!
In order to say goodbye, both to our personal portfolios, and to Tanzania, the 2023 ITT has created a fun list of places to visit, and things to see for next year's intern team! Although each internship is unique, and each group always finds a way to make Tanzania their own, below you will find the little things that made our experience special. Stated in no particular order, the things on this list are little gems scattered throughout Morogoro that we hope the 2024 ITT will enjoy as much as we did.
To all future interns, we hope you enjoy this list!
Shawarma
Red Chili's
Dutch Blitz Nights
Fresh Orange Juice
Situated right in front of our favourite shawarma stand, you can find a cart of freshly squeezed orange juice! This is a must-have on those +30 degree days- a great place to stop while exploring town! If you're lucky, they might be selling jackfruit as well!
Mpulila Supermarket
Finding the perfect grocery store became a week-long endeavor for our team as we carefully expanded our map, and ventured further into town. Our exploration eventually paid off as we came across this supermarket. This grocery store is large, loaded with snacks, toiletries, condiments- and everything can be paid for with debit card if needed! You may even find some familiar snacks from back home.
Madizini Sokoni
This local market close to home is often the best place to grab produce! The walk to town is beautiful, but on those extra-lazy days, a quick trip to the market is a great alternative to buy all your veggies (much cheaper too!)
Hikes: Choma & Morning Site & other uphill adventures
Due to the advantage of being at the base of the Uluguru Mountains, interns would take the time every couple weeks to do local hikes! Some guided and some not, these hikes are always a great way to get out and enjoy the scenery.
This is kwaheri for now, but not forever! Thank you for reading, and stay tuned for ITT 2024!
