"At last - a place with no rain!!" a Arusha Travel Page by Vaughanie

Arrived in Tanzania a few days ago and yet again I am amazed at how the scenery changes over the boarders. Here is is so dry and brown and mainly flat. They tell me it hasn't rained much at all this year and you can tell. The campsite is just soil and dust and frequently blows all over you. You have a shower and 2 minutes later you're minging again. Ho Hum
We have been staying on a snake farm, they also have crocs. Horrible Horrible things. Phil attended the clinic for the local Maasai tribes and ended up helping best he could in the circumstances (ie no equipment but no shortage of drugs)

We went to the Ngorongoro Crater for a couple of days which was amazing. Not great for Game as it is so bloody dry here but being in the crater itself is pretty special and they have forest, swamp, lakes and grassland in there so a good variety of animals. So bloody cold though!! They tell me it will get warmer from now on wards the further south we go.... bring it on....

Got to dash as we're having lunch overlooking Mount Kili this afternoon so cant be late for that. Zanzibar at the weekend............
