Tanzania the land of Kilimanjaro, Serengeti, and Zanzibar plus Hakuna Matata. The Lion King film made this Phrase famous, when the young Simba was lost and full of guilt for what happened to Mufasa, Timon and Pumba were there to cheer him off and forget everything that has happened to him and start living. Just writing this made me nostalgic about the Lion King Movie, through that movie I learned that sometimes we cannot undo what happened to us and the best we can do is to appreciate the moments that we have.
That’s where Hakuna Matata comes in, and it’s not a made-up phrase it means “Don’t worry” in the Swahili language. To live in Hakuna Matata spirit visit Tanzania. If there’s one thing that I can assure you there’s no dull moment in Tanzania that means If you are very lonely, or you are bored and have no one to talk to come to Tanzania.
You won’t be left lonely and unattended here. If you are going somewhere, people will greet you and ask, “how are you?” and they truly mean it and are willing to go an extra mile just to see you sorted.
If you are standing / sitting / lying on pristine beaches of Zanzibar, then they will not only greet you, but they will also want to chat about your mood, and relaxation, they will ask where you are from, and they will say a couple of phrases in your language.
Very sociable people in Tanzania some speak several languages fluently, and there is a lot of communication
Even if there is no mood – they will come up to you and ask, “what are you sad about?” feel the spirit of Tanzania, meditate, swim, and walk along the beach everything will pass.
The locals have truly understood the mantra of Hakuna Matata!
