Get in touch

Have a question about the book, an unusual reaction after reading it, or simply something you would like to share with Martijn? Messages are always welcome.

Martijn is also available for talks, book presentations, interviews, festivals, cultural events and other gatherings exploring Tanzania, cultural differences and the unexpected life lessons that emerge when different worlds meet.

Talks & Book Presentations

Nearly thirty years of Tanzania have produced considerably more stories than could reasonably be squeezed into one book.

During his talks and book presentations, Martijn takes audiences beyond the safaris and tropical beaches to the Tanzania of everyday life: a world of humour, remarkable encounters, cultural differences and events that occasionally sound far too ridiculous to be true.

Unfortunately, most of them are.

Interested in a talk, book presentation or collaboration? Please get in touch to discuss the possibilities.

Bookshops & Larger Orders

Are you a bookshop, library, organisation, company or event organiser? Special arrangements are available for larger orders, resale, corporate gifts and other collaborations.

Buying several hundred copies is particularly encouraged.

The butterfly garden will be delighted.

Press & Media

For interviews, reviews, images, press information or other media enquiries, please contact Martijn directly.

He is happy to talk about the book, Tanzania, cultural differences, the stories behind the stories and why an alarming number of perfectly ordinary situations seem to involve goats.
