After a big win during the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa where
Tanzania top the accolades by having three natural attraction topping
the list, Ngorongoro keeps the beat on. The three natural attractions
included the incredible Serengeti migrations, Mountain Kilimanjaro and
Ngorongoro Crater. The naming was earlier this year and you can read
more here
Seven Natural Wonders of Africa.
Ngorongoro celebrated earlier today the winning in style by running the
Ngorongoro Marathon for a good cause of fighting against Malaria in the
country. Isn't it cool? The Marathon took place in Karatu Arusha and it
included various entourages and famous people from different categories,
such as musicians and others. Some of big names in Tanzania that
participated include: the best male artist of the year 2012, the one and
only Barnabas the beauty queen of 2000 and the President of Tanzania
Women Achievement Awards (TWAA) Miss Irene Kiwia to name a few. There
were more than 250 athletes who participated the race. Am quoting from
the Deputy Minister of Natural Resources and Tourism, his excellence
Honorable Lazaro Nyarandu that the officials of
Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA)
didn't participate. The quotation is via his twitter handle. I think
they didn't think out of the box what impact it would have brought by
participating in the race. I dare say it is a shame to let go of such an
opportunity as this one, for I hope there were both indigenous and
guest who could love to here something about Ngorongoro. Well I hope
they have learnt their lesson and I hope next time all will be well.

His excellence Honorable Nyarandu covered the Marathon live via his
twitter handle. I liked his strategy and his execution of the event I
give him a round of applause for without his efforts I
could probably not be able to learn what was happening and far worse not
post this important Marathon.
