| Village VoiceDaphne HowlandThis film shows what was clearly a profound set of experiences for both Ndibalema and Kenney, but it is not much more than a well-made vacation slideshow or an extended Facebook post, complete with exclamation points. |
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenA privileged and beautiful young woman and her African friend do good in Tanzania and determine that experiences are more important than things. |
| The New York TimesNeil GenzlingerThe documentary “Tanzania: A Journey Within” is two travel diaries woven together. One is somber and moving. The other is distractingly annoying. |
| User ReviewLysa BWas a heartwarming story with 2 friends that came together from 2 worlds and together made one heart for Africa. Her passionate dream to return and help 10's of thousands of people came true and it shows that there is a power of one. |
| User ReviewGioFilm RSaw it and was brought into a world like them and experienced through the film what it would be like, excellent quality all the way around. Simple yet poignant. |
| User ReviewJen VTanzania takes you on a heartfelt journey filled with amazing visuals. This film really moved me and reminded me what a great country we live in while others around the world still struggle for things we take for granted. I really enjoyed the humor that presents itself throughout the film as well. Its a little unexpected but its great. |
