Heads up! I'm in Dar es Salaam and, as if by chance, Uber (UberX) have just launched here a few days ago. Haven't had a chance to ride yet but by next week I will definitely be posting a review.
It will be interesting to see how local taxi companies respond and I've hooked up to some people from the Tanzania tech scene on Twitter to get their opinions as well.
Until then, here's a news story: http://allafrica.com/stories/201606160344.html

The only real way to disarm your enemy is to listen to them.
So many happy birthday wishes. Overwhelming. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Getting tons of congratz today. Thanks everyone. Will take a while before I get around to responding. Sorry about that. Been on a road trip to congratulate my niece on her high school graduation. Focus is elsewhere :)

This is the more important part of what Stephen Hawking said:
“A more immediate danger is runaway climate change,” Hawking said. “A rise in ocean temperature would melt the ice-caps, and cause a release of large amounts of carbon dioxide from the ocean floor. Both effects could make our climate like that of Venus, with a temperature of 250 degrees.”
Media, as per usual, focus on clicks and the lowest common denominator.

Our Tanzania family adventure this year begins on June 14.
I've now finally taken the time to create a share group for close family and friends, so this update is not publicly visible :)
We will be in Tanzania for 2 weeks. Our base will be a house between Bahari Beach and Kunduchi bay (just outside Dar es Salaam), kindly made available to us by a friend's father.
We are going on a safari trip to @[100005449448329:2048:Selous River Camp] between June 17-19 (we'll get to the park by aircraft). We will do a river safari on the Rufiji amongst hippos and crocs, a open-side car tour of the park and a walking safari in the park with a ranger.
Between June 22-25 we will be staying at @[196743533772639:274:Zanzibar White Sand Luxury Villas & Spa], relaxing, doing standup-paddle boarding and touring the island.
In between we will be visiting my old school, old house and make time for a day trip to the historic town of Bagamoyo.
On June 28 we fly back to Stockholm with KLM.
All our bookings have been made online, it's amazing how easy it is to compose your own trip these days.
Now we're just crossing our fingers for good weather and animals willing to show themselves.
