House Hunters International: Tanzania

Brenda and Kakasii first met when she visited Tanzania as a tourist from Baltimore and he was her safari guide. Years later they married but continued to live apart. Now they want to settle permanently in Arusha, Tanzania where they plan to start their own safari company. Location and security are important to their house hunt since Kakasii's safaris will take him away for days, even weeks at a time. Each house they tour has unique assets but none are without problems as they try to balance priorities. Kakasii wants to live in the countryside but Brenda desires to be closer to town and to have some of the conveniences, like hot water, she had in America. She faces a very different way of living in Arusha. Roads can be impassable during the rainy season and she learns that electric stoves are simply too expensive to operate.
