Tanzania

After arrival in Tanzania, I joined up with my truck group and we went together over to Zanzibar. I spent a day wandering around Stonetown, which in has not changed in anyway from when I was here four years ago; but such a timeless place would probably be very difficult to change anyway. We then went up to the beach resort of Nungwi, and spent a couple of days chilling out. It really is one of the nicest beaches I know anywhere, golden sand and clear, warm turquoise water to swim in. On the last evening we took a boat along the coast to a full moon party, which was a full on night out.

Back on the mainland, I started my journey with the group in earnest with a ten hour truck ride from Dar es Salaam to Arusha in the north of Tanzania. Rolling empty African countryside most of the way, but with so far to go we didn't even stop for lunch.  As we got to Mosi, we got a glimpse of Kilimanjaro through the cloud, and it was impressive, one of life's ambitions ticked in the box.

Today we are setting off on the highlight of our journey, heading into the Ngorongoro crater and the Sererigeti national park. Our amenable American tour leader Mat, gave us a talk on the do's and don'ts in the park, as we will be camping in the park itself with the animals all around us. There is an elaborate drill for leaving your tent to go to the loo at night, can you hear anything, do you see eyes watching you; all very important if you don't want to be a snack for a group of hyenas or a lion.

Unfortunately, the weather is unseasonably cool with some rain so we don't know what kind of views we will have. Heres hoping it will be spectacular.
