Tanzania

Our trip to Tanzania was a long time in the planning stages and not nearly enough time actually traveling. Sadly that seems to be the way it is with our travels, which isn't to say that this trip and all the others haven't been absolutely worth it!

We flew into Nairobi where we spent the night before boarding a bus bound for Moshi. In Moshi, we met our climbing guide and made last minute preparations before heading off for an eight day hike up Kilimanjaro - a difficult but extremely rewarding experience.

Once down from the summit, we began the luxury part of our trip - three days on safari. From the back of our Range Rover we admired the sights of the Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara before heading back to Arusha.

At that point, Sarah headed for Nairobi and home while Gareth hopped a bus for Zanzibar. (Not fair!)

Tanzania was everything we had hoped for and much more. The people were wonderful and the scenery was like nothing we had ever seen before. We would go back tomorrow - if only we could!

 Great tips here! We'd love to to Kilimanjaro and return to Africa. We spent 2 weeks in Kenya in '97 and simply loved it!

 Wonderful tips on your experiences in Tanzania! It was a long time ago that I was in the Kilimanjaro area, and I unfortunately did not get to savour its delights quite as well as you two did!! Great to hear that it is still a beaut spot!
