Southern hospitality abounds during the Pilgrimage 1 in Natchez, which prides itself on the slogan, "Where the Old South Still Lives," but it costs a little more nowadays.
Tours of the houses sell at $10 for a package of five. Tickets for a Confederate Pageant, which is presented. 1 four nights weekly at 8:30 in the City Auditorium during the Pilgrimage, cost $5 each. In addition to touring gardens lush with azaleas and camellias, visitors to the old city nestled on bluffs overlooking the Mississippi will have a chance to dip into the history of Natchez, over which the flags of France, Spain, England, the Confederacy and the United States have flown since the first settlers arrived in 1716. In the 1700s the city was the starting point of the Natchez Trace, the overland trail that river traders followed on foot to return north after floating their products downriver to New Orleans.
The Natchez Trace Parkway, a 440-mile-long scenic highway operated by the National Park Service, is nearing completion in Mississippi. The Pilgrimage is sponsored by the nonprofit garden clubs of Natchez, and since 1932 the proceeds of the annual event have gone toward the restoration and preservation of the city's antebellum houses. For information and reservations, write the Natchez Pilgrimage, P.O. Box 347, Natchez, Miss. 39120 or telephone 601-446-6631.

Kenya or Tanzania? visitors make choice Continued from page 1 courage more international air carriers to connect directly with Kilimanjaro Airport, a beautiful, five-year-old facility near Arusha. Although the airport was built to international standards, it was used only on a regional while the now defunct East African Airlines operated. Ethiopian Airlines recently established two flights a week into Kilimanjaro from Addis Ababa, and British Airways connects from London via Khartoum once a week. It also is possible to charter a small plane directly from Nairobi to Kilimanjaor, at a price. But no matter how one flies into Kilimanjaro, round-about air routings a considerable amount of money are involved if a tourist wants to see both Kenya and northern Tanzania.
So the tourist with limited time and money must make a choice between Kenya and Tanzania: Should it be well -explored trails of capitalism or the more pristine parks of socialism? A recent evaluation of the major tourist attractions of both countries suggests that except for the finicky and demanding, most tourists would be better off settling on Tanzania. This choice is based primarily on a comparison of wildlife in the two competing countries. Kenya has a tragic poaching problem. While the Kenyan government has banned licensed big-game hunting a and has ordered curio shops to phase out of business, it has dedicated neither the manpower nor the equipment to control illegal commercial poaching for ivory, skins, and, in the sad case of the black rhinoceros, for rhino horn, which is still used as the main ingredient of a wholly worthless love potion in the Far East. Licensed big-game hunting never accounted for the drastic reduction in Kenya's wild life anyway, and closing Kenya's curio shops won't put a stop to the large scale illegal export of game trophies, ivory, and rhino horn.
There still is wild game left in Kenya, of course, and the great yearly migration of the wildebeest herd out of the Serengeti Plain into. Kenya continues to be one of the most awesome sights in game watching. And no country in the world is more experienced at catering to the creature comforts of effete game watchers than Kenya. Tanzania also has some poaching problems, especially in such larger parks as the Serengeti. But unlike Kenya's Amboseli Park, where the rhino has been poached nearly to extinction, Serengeti still lives up to its deserved reputation, and some of.
Tanzania's smaller parks, such as Planning a trip? Read The Plain Dealer Travel Section first. Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro Crater, were teeming with seemingly fearless game at the time of our recent tour. And what more can be said of Mt. Kilimanjaro? Tanzania's detractors will argue that it is a very poor and very stridently socialistic country which is ill-equipped to handle tourists and isn't even very interested in having Western capitalists pollute its Marxist atmosphere. That Maryogo and Chande have been put in charge of the TTC mitigates strongly against this notion that socialist Tanzania isn't interested in Western tourists.
Both men have proven government records and are close to Tanzanian President Nyerere. "People have read a lot into our system that is not there," says Maryogo. "We have had contact with Europe for five centuries and even when the Germans were in full control (Tanzania is a former German colony), we survived. It would be stupid to fear 50.000 Americans a year Chande, a hardnosed businessman, socialist or not, would like. to see tourism move from eighth to fourth place as a source of foreign exchange.
To this end he and the TTC are putting together a two-week package tour that would include sidetrips to Zanzibar and neighboring Zambia, where armed-guide-escorted "walking safari" field trips have been developed. It is true that the do-it-yourselfer tourist and the camper will run into difficulties trying to outfit in Dare es Salaam or Arusha. There is a shortage of canned and packaged foods, and luxury items. such as color film, either are very expensive or unobtainable. Camping gear is difficult or impossible to buy or rent, except for specific purposes, such as a Kilimanjaro climb.
Many camping sites are not well developed. (We were, however, able to bring our own camping equipment into Tanzania without having to pay any fees or excess weight charges.) Car rentals are somewhat more expensive in Tanzania than in Kenya, and. because the roads are not good and the vehicles dear, self-drive tourists may be required to retain a professional driver more often than they'd like. But all of Tanzania's shortcomings and general lack of Kenyan-style efficiency can be managed with proper planning, especially if the tourist puts himself in the hands of the government-run TTC.
