Interpretation

On the front of the Bear, I have painted Mount Kilimanjaro - the highest mountain in Africa and the highest 'walkable' mountain in the world, as well as the different animals of the national parks, which represent many favourite Tanzanian national parks, including Ngorongoro, Serengeti, Mikumi, Selous, Tarangire and others.

On the back of the Bear, I have painted Zanzibar, one of the most famous and beautiful islands in Tanzania. Fishing in the Indian Ocean using Ngalawa (small boats) and enjoying the nice beaches decorated by palm trees are part of Zanzibar’s beauty.
