Wendy James has carried out research in several countries of N.E. Africa, especially the Sudan (where she also taught in the University of Khartoum) and Ethiopia. Trained in Oxford, she has pursued long-standing interests in social anthropology, its history, and its connections with neighbouring fields. Her main theoretical concerns have been with the relationship between politics and the enduring aspects of religious, cultural, and moral systems. In recent years, because of the pressing problems of conflict in Africa, she has accepted a series of consultancies with the UN and NGOs, and started to publish on themes of war and suffering.

Tanzania is home to the "Great Migration" as well as many other natural wonders such as Mt. Kilimanjaro (the largest mountain that can be climbed by amateurs), the Serengeti National Park, and the island paradises of Zanzibar and the Mafia islands. Tanzania is also very rich culturally with the influence of over 120 tribes converging in their music, art and traditions.
