Bird Watching Paradise

Posted on March 6, 2009 by in News

Birders agree that Onsea House is a real Bird Watching Paradise. We invite guests to use our bird list to record those birds which you find around Onsea House. In fine weather you may see many of these from the balcony or around the gardens. The taxonomy and nomenclature follows that used in The Birds of East Africa by John Fanshawe and Terry Stevenson. This is available for reference in our guide book library on the balcony.

If you are interested in a day of bird watching, in the Arusha area or in Tarangire or Arusha National Park, then you can make an appointment with James the Birdman through info@onseahouse.com.

Parmi les 101 plus belles rencontres réalisées sur les ondes

Posted on December 2, 2008 by in News

L’émission radiophonique Les Belges au Bout du Monde, diffusée le dimanche matin sur La Première, souffle ses 20 bougies cette année. Pour fêter l’événement, la RTBF programme des émissions spéciales et publie un livre.

Les Belges du bout du monde donne aux réveils dominicaux un parfum d’évasion et de liberté. En mettant à l’honneur ceux qui ont osé réaliser leurs rêves et ceux qui préfèrent le goût de l’aventure à celui du confort, cette émission s’est, petit à petit, imposée comme un phare dans la morosité ambiante.

“Dans le livre, nous en avons choisi cent et un ‘qui ont la frite’. Cent et un tempéraments qui sont allés au bout de leurs rêves, se sont investis dans l’humanitaire ou se sont plongés dans le monde des affaires, sans jamais se défaire de ce côté bonhomme, la marque de fabrique du Belge qui ne se prend pas (trop) au sérieux”, explique Adrien Joveneau, animateur de l’émission “Les Belges au Bout du Monde” depuis 20 ans.

Ces Belges du bout du monde étant généralement d’une hospitalité proverbiale, ils n’hésiteront pas à vous livrer leurs plus précieux conseils, à vous entraîner sur les sentiers de traverse de leur pays d’adoption, à titiller vos papilles avec des délices d’ici et de là-bas ou à vous ouvrir leurs portes à prix d’amis : au fil des pages (et avec un photo du Serengeti sur la couverture), vous trouverez ainsi Onsea House, des chambres d’hôtes de luxe au pied du Kilimandjaro et à côté des parcs national d’Arusha, Tarangire, Manyara et Serengeti et le crater du Ngorongoro…

L’ouvrage touristique Les Belges du bout du monde de Adrien Joveneau et Frédérique Thiébaut est publié chez Editions Racine (Lannoo) et est disponible depuis 25/11/2008.

Safari approved by Carmen Roberts, BBC World News’ Fast Track reporter

Posted on September 20, 2008 by in News

What a co-incidence: just after posting the news on female Wildlife presenters, starring Charlotte Uhlenbroek, we got a request from Carmen Roberts, also from the BBC, to organize a safari in Tanzania, after her trip in Kenya.

We put together a last-minute 3 day safari to Lake Manyara National Park, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire, in co-operation with one of our partner tour operators, taking into account the budget indications.

After returning from an “excellent safari”, enjoying a sundowner at the the terrace of Onsea House in Arusha, Carmen told us she is a journalist for Fast:Track, a travel programme on BBC World News for the business and leisure traveller. She was in Kenya to shoot a snake safari. 

To watch Carmen Robert’s snake safari, treat yourself soon on Fast:Track.
Do not hesitate to contact info@onseahouse.com for any safari enquiry and/or plans to stay at Onsea House.
