Clue 1

Remember this treasure hunt is played using Google Earth and not Google Maps.

Welcome to the Tanzania Wanderlust Treasure Hunt!

The name "Tanzania" was created from the names of the two states that unified to create the country:

Tanganyika - the main area of land within the country on the African continent. The name "Tanganyika" is derived from the Swahili words tanga ("sail") and nyika ("uninhabited plain", "wilderness"), creating the phrase "sail in the wilderness".

and

Zanzibar - the archipelago off the coast of the country. This comes from "zenji", the name for a local people (said to mean "black"), and the Arabic word "barr", which means coast or shore.

It consists of the first three letters of the names of the two states ("Tan" and "Zan") and the suffix, "ia" to form Tanzania.

Opened in 2005 this 70,000 capacity stadium is the second biggest in Germany behind Borussia Dortmund's. Its famous for being the first stadium in the world with a full colour changing exterior, the exterior panels appear white from far away but when examined closely, there are little dots which light up. Munich Police strongly insists on using a single-colour lighting scheme due to several car accidents on the nearby 99 Autobahn with drivers being distracted by the changing lights. The distinctive architecture of the stadium has given it the nickname "Schlauchboot" ("dinghy").

Once found zoom in above the stadium and answer this question - There are 3 words on the seats of the west stand, which word is repeated twice? Check your answer in the box at the end of this step.

Tip - to help you find the answer use the 3D feature by switching into 3D mode, do this by clicking once on the button in the corner.

DON'T GET CONFUSED - when you are in 2D mode the 3D button will be visible and vice versa.

Then use the zooming and spinning tools to move the view around:

4.

Use the tools provided on Google Earth to follow these directions to your next clue:

• Track the closest river southwards.
• Notice where its joined by a canal.
• Look closely after this point and follow the man made river which branches off on its western side.
• Follow this river all the way to the point where it disappears under the city.
• Stop here and zoom into a height of 550m / 600m above this point.
• Set the height by zooming in and out as instructed above and stopping at the correct height as shown below:

•  

  

• Click into street view mode by clicking on the  icon once.
• This brings up a series of blue lines (routes you can virtually walk down) and small blue circles (pictures you can view).
• Click on the blue circle which is indicated by the X on the picture below:

• This will bring you into a picture that will have a single white arrow as shown in the picture below. This will be known as Photo 1.
• If you cannot see this then you are in the wrong picture exit (by clicking on the arrow in the top left corner) and repeat the previous step until you are in the correct one.

• Spin around this photo to face the bridge, notice what is happening on the river. Click on the arrow once this will change your view into another photo - this will be known as Photo 2.
• Click on the arrow again and it will change your view back into Photo 1.
• Below is a matrix of the 2 photos and 6 surfers, this shows which surfers appear in each photo (some appear in both whilst others in only 1).
• Study the 2 photos and complete the matrix by filling in the missing 3 circles, use this as the password to access the next page.
• E.g. for the first blank circle (top left) check if surfer A and surfer D appear in both photos.
• For the second second circle (middle top) the answer is 'yes' because surfer B and surfer D appear in Photo 1.
• Etc...

Use the 3 answers as the password to access the next clue (put a space in-between each one).
