<i>January 26, 2016</i><br />
Yesterday afternoon and all night there were heavy rains in the area. And roads are very hilly and muddy here. So we woke up in the morning and headed further not knowing what expects us. Already in first few moment we understood that the roads were in very bad condition. We were slipping and sliding all over the road.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We took a smaller road to see the campsite neat St Lucia Lake:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

And here is was St Lucia lake again! The campsite was closed due to lack of water. There hasn't been raining since many months and the lake has significantly dried. All hippos and crocodiles were gone...<br />

After nice and relaxing day we headed back to South Africa! We were very close to the border so those were our last hours in Mozambique. We drove through Ponta Du Ouro town:<br />

We got to Mbazwana town where we got onto a tar road again:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We drove to St Lucia lake and took road D675 to False Bay where our GPS showed that there is a campsite. It was a school day and we saw many children coming back from the school. We felt that we were back to some kind of civilisation because you can't see much of that in Mozambique:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So we drove to the campsite, and it turned out that everything was overgrown and nothing was there:<br />

We didn't want to stay there so we drove back to the main road:<br />

Eventually we found a great campsite its called Bushbaby (http://www.101fc.nl/BB/index.html) So we set up our camp:<br />

<i>January 19-20, 2016</i><br />
The morning we spent with our host Francisco (originally from Portugal), we went for breakfast and some lunch. We listened to his interesting stories about life in Maputo:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4P1HY9h6r68/V9uRuCbeHOI/AAAAAAAAC-o/FRFAwEkhAzwoZFKMqP7AtKnLVKwtnbE-ACEw/s1600/IMG_3267.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4P1HY9h6r68/V9uRuCbeHOI/AAAAAAAAC-o/FRFAwEkhAzwoZFKMqP7AtKnLVKwtnbE-ACEw/s320/IMG_3267.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
Then he took us to the place where we had the best prawns! The restaurant was located in sports complex, nothing fancy, only locals know this spot, there were no tourists and no tourist prices! The chef makes all the sauces for many famous restaurants and hotels in Maputo, and owns small restaurant himself. The prawns:<br />

Soon after we had to leave Maputo. We took a ferry across the bay:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jzIBMmBdsYU/V9uRdJ_-CbI/AAAAAAAAC-M/Bcje_amZYF0CA9VqxFyq7lk4UyprcxV3ACLcB/s1600/DSC_6999.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="211" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jzIBMmBdsYU/V9uRdJ_-CbI/AAAAAAAAC-M/Bcje_amZYF0CA9VqxFyq7lk4UyprcxV3ACLcB/s320/DSC_6999.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
We had to wait for it for a couple of hours, but we were not in rush, as we were heading to Ponta Du Ouro which was not far. The ferry was very crowded and full of cars. No space even to open the door :) From there we saw Maputo's skyline:<br />

When we were on the other side of the bay, there was a police checkpoint of course :) and we were on the road again:<br />

Closer to Ponta Du Ouro the road split into countless sand paths and we drove in the darkness as it got late. Soon we found the campsite, set the camp and heated up some risotto with mangoes and pineapple:<br />

<i>January 18, 2016</i><br />
Today we drove to Maputo, we had a Couchsurfing friend that will host us there. So we were on the main road to Maputo. As closer we got to Maputo, as more people and cars were around and more traffic accidents. Here there was a bus gone off the road:<br />

<i>January 16, 2016</i><br />
After few nice and relaxing days, we decided to move on. We had a Couchsurfing friend in Maputo, so we were on the way to visit and stay with him. We left our camp, and little jack russell that was our friend during the stay was sitting there and saying goodbye to us. It was so sad...:(<br />

To get to Inhassoro we took coastal road this time and drove on the sand:<br />

Went through Vilanculos once again and then back to main road. We turned off the main road near Nhanchengue and there was beautiful small sandy dirt road:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Soon after we saw bunch of people stuck on the road:</div>

Their car was broken. But the guys knew what to do, but they didn't have a jack, so we stopped and landed them ours. They were eager to be on the camera, so they asked us to take some photos of them :)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

After a while the car was fixed and we headed towards Pomene Nature Reserve:<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Nature and scenery was really beautiful. Really wild, no people. Some monkeys and baboons and lots of birds. The road got more narrow and sandier:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

There was a swamp on one side of the road:<br />

Finally we arrived to the lodge, and no surprise, we were again the only ones camping there:<br />

Later on the evening we cooked some dinner: pineapple and mango risotto! Was delicious :)<br />

We camped not too far from the sea, but not too close to hear the waves:<br />

This day we were going back to our favourite spot in Mozambique - Nhamabwe. We were not far from there so there was no rush. On the road again typical african scenery - overloaded vehicles, this time bus: :)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Things for sale. Around this area there was a lot of delicious honey for sale. We are not big fans of honey usually, but this one was really good, it was pretty liquid, with a smokey flavour to it. People use smoke to get out bees and gather the honey.<br />

Soon we arrived to Vilanculos. Nice beachy style town. Many lodges around this area. We went to garage to fix mudflap for the car, it was loose.<br />

Then we went to Johnson's Bar, that is the place you can buy permit to drive on the beach to get to Nhamabwe. Otherwise you must take the road that goes through the swam.</div>

We left Vilanculos and drove towards Nhamabwe through a very small road, most of the time the road led us through people's gardens:)<br />

Today we got a speeding ticket! There was a really bad potholed road, we had to drive 20-30 km per hour for about an hour. After that a better stretch of road started where the speed limit was 60 and guess what! Policeman in the bush! He knows where to wait. So we did 66 km/h and we were fined...<br />
This night we stayed at Buffalo camp, we camped there, it was nice and modern lodge, there were no camping facilities as such, but we were given a chalet with hot water and shower. Here is the website of the lodge: <a href="http://www.buffalo-camp.com/">http://www.buffalo-camp.com/</a><br />

In the evening we arrived at town called Alto Moloque. This part of Mozambique where there are not many campings available. So we had to stay in a hotel again. This one wasn't nice either... We arrived and there was no electricity, so the guys went to buy some in the shop, here is the view from our terrace:<br />

<i>January 10, 2016</i><br />
Our last day in Tanzania, we were not far from the border. We left our favourite Tanzanian village and headed towards the Mozambican border crossing - Unity Bridge:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sexjeLD8o_I/V6ib5Hd80zI/AAAAAAAACvU/Mm0Qs7Mfxic4-N5a72BPnzV_Ya5yhKrSwCLcB/s1600/DSC_6231.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="211" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sexjeLD8o_I/V6ib5Hd80zI/AAAAAAAACvU/Mm0Qs7Mfxic4-N5a72BPnzV_Ya5yhKrSwCLcB/s320/DSC_6231.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
Lots of trees and greenery, and many burned down forests, they use charcoal for cooking...:<br />

Crossed some bridges:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Huge brand new road has been built that connects both countries:<br />

And here it was - Unity Bridge!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-yyfQIIV2Pu0/V6icksTs5uI/AAAAAAAACwA/1wmA2glNZzs3LjZgL6oxZxf-j7T9wXA3ACLcB/s1600/DSC_6282.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="211" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-yyfQIIV2Pu0/V6icksTs5uI/AAAAAAAACwA/1wmA2glNZzs3LjZgL6oxZxf-j7T9wXA3ACLcB/s320/DSC_6282.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
Just before the bridge there was a very quiet immigration office, we were the only ones there, quickly we got our stamps from the officer, he wished us a good luck and welcomed back to Tanzania. We loved their hospitality! So we crossed the bridge and were getting ready for the contrast :)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VNJ6ttgZk-E/V6icnJu3cBI/AAAAAAAACwE/rteOdJf-YV0v13yMIaJbQj21bY-4qSZVwCLcB/s1600/DSC_6292.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="211" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VNJ6ttgZk-E/V6icnJu3cBI/AAAAAAAACwE/rteOdJf-YV0v13yMIaJbQj21bY-4qSZVwCLcB/s320/DSC_6292.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
When we crossed the bridge, we got to Mozambican immigration. Nobody was there!!! Just few soldiers that opened us the gate. They said that officers went home for lunch and don't know when they will be back. So we waited 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours. Nobody was coming over. And travel books says that it is the most crossed border crossing, ha! So our patience was out, because we had to drive to the next village today to camp, so we went to the soldiers and asked where the officer lived. We took one of the soldiers in the car to show us his house and we drove to the nearest village. The best looking house - thats where he lived. Soldier went to fetch him and it took him a while to find the officer, because he wasn't at home. Finally 3 of them came in their white shirts... We didn't drive them back to the border, because there was no space in the car, so they had to walk back to their jobs now. Back in the office very slowly they turned on their computers, asked what kind of car we have and if it is a 4 wheel drive and what colour it had, and in about half an hour we were done. Nobody was asking for a bribe this time. It took us more that 3 hours and some patience and we were legally back into Mozambique! It was afternoon and we still were quite far from the next village where we would be able to camp. So we were on the road again and not for a long, as the nice tar road finished just few hundred meters after the Unity bridge:<br />

Our village was 120 km away, and we were driving good if 20-30 km per hour! Slipping and sliding to all directions! The time went fast and kilometres were not going down... There were saw turned over trucks on the road, stuck motorbikes:<br />

Soon it became dark and we were driving in this mud in dark!!! It wasn't fun at all... Forest full of owls and fireflies, that was nice though;) It took us about 5 to 6 hours to drive 120 km. Finally we were close to civilisation and small villages started to appear. Full of drunk locals trying to hitch to next village. And then, 120 km from the border - customs! Just not that now - we thought. But the guy was lazy and it was pitch black outside so he just opened us the boom and let us go. Close to the Mueda village another obstacle - this time red flashing police baton. Ow no, Mozambique style again! So we were stopped and questioned, they asked for drivers licence and wanted to search the car, but we didn't allow. Funny they were looking for our documents, but they had no torch :D They didn't believe us we were tourists, but at the end we just drove off and were looking for a campsite. We arrived to Mueda village - it looked like it has been major floods there not long ago - the streets were all washed with mud, full of garbage, debris everywhere. So we arrived at the camping, and - it was closed!!! So we went looking for some other place to stay. There was some small hotel, so we got a room there. I think this one was of the worst places we ever stayed :D We felt like in a prison cell haha :) But anyway, it was clean and we were exhausted and we were finally done with this crazy day :) Here is our light source in the room:<br />

<i>January 9, 2016</i><br />
This was our last full day in Tanzania, as we were about to drive from outskirts of Dar-Es-Salaam towards Mozambican border. When we crossed into Tanzania, we used the ferry crossing close to the sea, but now coming back we wanted to see the road that led inland of Tanzania and Mozambique and use the bridge that connects both countries and it's called Unity Bridge. In travel books it says that it is the most used border crossing between both countries. Well, we will see that! So we left our beautiful campsite and the beach:<br />

We drove South the same road that we took coming here to Dar-Es-Salaam until the village called Nangurukuru where we turned inland and drove a road that wasn't on our map, but it seemed to us that it led to Mozambican border.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In the afternoon we arrived to the village called Liwale. Right deep into Tanzania's interior, and the place was really nice! It is not located near any major road, so there are no tourists passing, it was Tanzania at its best :) We stopped at a small hotel, there are no campings in the area, and had a nice room for 30.000 Shillings (12 Euros for both of us). So we had a walk around the town later on - boys selling cooked octopus pieces in chilli broth on the street - so we had that for the starter:) Then there were big "cinemas" on the street - looked like a barn and in there 2 big TV screens - they were watching football! The guys pay some entree fee and watched football games. Later on we went for some nice local dinner at the market, we had some chicken, rice and beans of course:) And suddenly the electricity went off... And that was so nice from the local guys to give their mobile phone to us as a torch... The people are so different in the places that are not spoiled by tourists - instead of begging and touting they make you feel welcomed. This was great end of our stay in Tanzania!</div>

After travelling overland it is a huge contrast comparing to other parts of Tanzania. It feels like in any touristy place in the world, full of touts, hotels, restaurants, tourist attractions. Our goal today was to get our visas for Mozambique, so early morning we headed to Mozambican Embassy. We walked to the Embassy through narrow streets of Stone Town:</div>

We found out that visas will be ready in 6 hours instead of 24, so it meant we had to hang around Stone Town for the day. So we left the Embassy and went walking around Stone Town. Majority of population is muslim. Instead of doing tourist tours to see turtles and going to slave museum, we hang around the town and talked to some locals about their life in Zanzibar. So we met one local guide (after he tried to got some money out of us, but soon he realised we were not an easy catch and then we talked as friends). So we stopped and talked to him near the beachfront, he told us many things about peoples lives on the island, places to go and eat local, told us how they cheat white tourists, told us about about Indian hotel owners and local staff in five star hotels, he talked about the quality of food in tourist restaurants and many more. </div>

The food was delicious, we had some rice with octopus sauce, another sauce made of anchovies, and some few little bits, the food was really tasty, rich of spices. This place is famous for backpackers and more like an upper class for locals:</div>

The weather was incredibly hot, it was really hard at this time of the day, but still we were wondering around the town. We went to the market and criss crossed it. Being one of few whites there we were followed by countless sellers trying to sell us spices. We walked through the whole place watching daily lives of locals. Small restaurants, black from soot, "thats where they eating" - we thought. The food was Wali Kuku - chicken and rice and costed next to nothing. So we wondered through the busy market and headed to Embassy for our Mozambican visas.<br />

Went through some backroads and yards, some apartment building areas, and here you see the difference - its not a place where tourists wonder and everyone leaves you alone:) Must admit the place reminded me Deli in India - garbage anywhere you look, countless homeless on the streets, non existing infrastructure. But thats what we like when we travel - to see the reality as it is and not pay for the imaginary paradise on a photo.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
After we got our visas we went back to Old Town. You need a lot of imagination to see architectural beauty that all books are raving about, because all the buildings that carry World Heritage Badge are falling apart or are secured with steel wires so they won't fall on your head, the only good looking buildings are five star hotels:</div>

Woke at beautiful setting - swimming pool and the sea, and veeery hot!!! :) Half of the day we just spent chilling around.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

And swimming in the sea, the water was too hot, it felt literally like a bath!!! Where are the bubbles:))) So we went back to swimming pool to cool down, the water was cooler there... We walked around the area, went to some local eateries...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

In the afternoon we took a bajaji (tuk tuk) to port to cross into Dar-Es-Salaam, then small ferry over the bay to Dar Es Salaam.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Dar-Es-Salaam:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We had some time till the ferry so we went for a walk around Dar, had some beer and some lunch at a local restaurant. We had delicious fish with rice...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cTo3bcrkAt8/V5BrJQl4GGI/AAAAAAAACqM/xtugQWlMve0rsPIJixZDZoQlBmkS9UC2gCEw/s1600/IMG_3050.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="242" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cTo3bcrkAt8/V5BrJQl4GGI/AAAAAAAACqM/xtugQWlMve0rsPIJixZDZoQlBmkS9UC2gCEw/s320/IMG_3050.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
The ferry to Zanzibar costed us 70 USD each! In Zanzibar upon arrival there was security check, passport control, it looked like we arrived to another country. So we went to our hotel, Stone Town was very busy, lots of people, many tourists and countless touts. We walked around and went for a beer, in a restaurant full of tourists and according prices. We couldn't find any local bars, because majority of the population is muslims in Zanzibar. Anyways we saw beautiful sunset:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FNKVoUTqHvI/V5BrNiv6mYI/AAAAAAAACqM/ZBYFxyoi23YBCnVVtzcWQtUk638HY7aBQCEw/s1600/IMG_3053.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FNKVoUTqHvI/V5BrNiv6mYI/AAAAAAAACqM/ZBYFxyoi23YBCnVVtzcWQtUk638HY7aBQCEw/s320/IMG_3053.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Later we went to market for some food. There are stalls with seafood for tourists (the fish wasn't smelling good), they are running after you all the time to sell you the food, but we chose some local food stall where locals were eating and it was nice and fresh food:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

After that we went to our hotel and tried to sleep in that crazy hot weather:)))<br />

<i>January 5, 2016</i><br />
We had a very nice breakfast at the hotel's restaurant, there were delicious local dishes. This was our room from the outside:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So we left our hotel and drove inland towards Dar Es Salaam, we passed Dodoma which is the capital of Tanzania. There were nice petrol stations, many decent restaurants. On our way we didn't see any mud hats, people have nice houses, painted and with gardens around them:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Our roads were in good condition again and with distant mountains:<br />

Wont get far without road accidents in Africa, this time we saw a truck completely smashed:<br />

In Tanzania there is no rubbish on the sides of the road, its nicely packed in bags:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xrg2D7ti9hw/V3tVkXTAOHI/AAAAAAAACo4/N7nW8rmyRDcJnrW7XK7OLNgCLbOE9lAbQCLcB/s1600/DSC_6108.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="211" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xrg2D7ti9hw/V3tVkXTAOHI/AAAAAAAACo4/N7nW8rmyRDcJnrW7XK7OLNgCLbOE9lAbQCLcB/s320/DSC_6108.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
And getting closer to Dar Es Salaam we were stopped by policeman, first time in Tanzania! And he was such a lovely man, he just wanted to chat and said to us Welcome to Tanzania for at least 10 times! It was getting late when we arrived in Dar and we still had a while to drive to the campsite. Most of them are located South of Dar and there is a big loop to drive to get there, because there is river mouth and no bridge across, just boat.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-q4VFYk6NcrA/V3tViKSJ00I/AAAAAAAACo0/GVdedbSyAkItHemGqbTi1RyHe-jv0W9dACLcB/s1600/DSC_6111.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="211" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-q4VFYk6NcrA/V3tViKSJ00I/AAAAAAAACo0/GVdedbSyAkItHemGqbTi1RyHe-jv0W9dACLcB/s320/DSC_6111.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
So we got to Dar, and the traffic was super big! It was rush our and we waited 1 hour at 1 traffic light!!! It got dark and we had pretty much to drive. Crazy truck drivers, people on the roads, motorbikes, car accidents, that was a crazy drive!!! We got to campsite at 22:00. Straight to bed and next morning we were planning to go to Zanzibar. The campsite we stayed was called Kigamboni and we were able to leave our truck there for a couple of nights while we are in Zanzibar.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The night was not very peaceful for us, because we were eaten by mossies. Despite aircon and electric plug for mosquitos, the room was full of them and apparently we were delicious... :) Just outside of our window there was Lake Victoria, and beautiful sunrise. We went for the breakfast in our hotel. View from our room:</div>

Soon we left Mosuma and headed into inland Tanzania, here are the last views of Lake Victoria:<br />

The roads were good all the way today, even we were off the beaten track, not many tourists wonders inland Tanzania. So it was great to watch locals taking busses, building houses, travelling for business.<br />

Few times we took some back roads that were not on the map and we asked villagers for the road:<br />

In the evening we got until a village called Singida, there are almost no campsites in the middle of Tanzania and so we stayed in hotel. Which was even cheaper than camping. We paid 30.000 schillings for both of us which is 12 euros! including breakfast. The room was good as well, we were given shampoos, soap, toothpaste and toothbrush, there was aircon, tv, mosquito net. There were no western tourists around only Tanzanians who were dressed in suits, some business man travelling for work.<br />

<i>January 2, 2016</i><br />
In the morning we woke up really early, before the sunrise, to get as early as possible to the Ngorongoro Gate. We paid the fees and were inside soon. The first thing that we could see was how the scenery was so different from the outside of the park - the forest was so thick!!! You couldn't see through a meter!<br />

The animals were everywhere! And all at the same spot, we didn't know which way to look :) We were there for a couple of hours and then we headed up again towards Serengeti:<br />

The road in Serengeti was really bad, the corrugations were so bad that we almost lost all our teeth :D For all that money we spent its quite disappointing. Another letdown was that at the gate there is no information about the park, we asked for the map and we were told to go to buy one in a shop for 10 US$ (A3 size)!!! And all the signs in the park are old or overgrown. So it was quite disappointing and we didn't feel welcomed at all (apart of our money). Here is the gate in Serengeti:<br />

We took a small side road to drive around. The scenery is very flat, lots of grass and a couple of trees here and there:<br />

Getting closer to the evening we drove to our campsite which was another disappointment, no facilities at all, there was just cut grass for the campsite space, toilet and cold showers, no toilet paper. Not that we need luxuries but having spent 760 US$ for 1 night stay that was a bit shocking... Anyways we had a good night sleep with many many animal noises around us, we thought that those could be hyenas... But that was a good feeling to be in a tent and knowing there were so many animals around us that we knew were there but we couldn't see...<br />

This morning we opened our eyes and were impatient to get out of our tent and see Kilimanjaro. And here it was - The Highest Mountain in Africa!<br />

We had our breakfast and coffee and slowly packed up. We were so close to Serengeti and Ngorongoro, so we thought to spend some time there. We were on our way to Arusha. That is the closest city for those who go to Kilimanjaro, also Serengeti and crater. On our way we saw another mountain - Mount Meru in distance. It is second largest mountain in Tanzania after Kilimanjaro, and is called it's "little sister":<br />

In Arusha we did some shopping - bought some water and Tanzanian coffee. There are lots of tourists in Arusha, many safari cars full of foreigners from all over the world. Here in the city centre elephant statue, it looked so real! :)<br />

After that we went to the park that is called Snake Park. (<a href="http://www.meseranisnakepark.com/index.html">http://www.meseranisnakepark.com/index.html</a>) We red that there is a garage, because we had to do oil change. There we met very nice owners that were half american, we were offered some coffee, charged up our laptops and phones, and we were invited to see the snake and reptile farm as well!<br />

That was nice time in snake park with lots of interesting conversations and nice people, then we headed towards Ngorongoro Crater to find out about visiting prices, as all information on internet is hmmm... not acurate at all. The nature around here was getting more dry - smaller trees and more bush:<br />

Ngorongoro gate. There we went to find out about prices and if there are any places available at campsites. So the entrance fees was as following:<br />
Ngorongoro crater: 50$ entry fee per person person + 200$ for entrance in the crater + 200$ for the car. And for Serengeti: 60$ entry per person + 60$ for 2 spots in public campsite + 100$ for the car...<br />

So we found a barber and Stéphane got good haircut for 0.80 €<br />

Little boy was interested in two white people in the barber and asked us to take photos of him, then he shyly laughed when I showed him the pictures:)<br />

<span id="goog_1625488803"></span><span id="goog_1625488804"></span>Soon we headed North towards Kilimajaro! Loads of fruit on the sides of the road, this was pineapple country, they were everywhere and a lot! We are not keen on pineapples, but still we got some, and they were just amazing! So sweet and juicy and doesn't make your mouth sore haha:D<br />

In Tanzania there are many roadside restaurants - for tourists and locals, but most of them were locals travelling on the busses and having a break in restaurants like these:<br />

The scenery gets more and more mountainous as we getting more North towards Kilimajaro. Roads are in perfect condition, not a single police car, no speed traps (opposite of Mozambique). One thing that describes Tanzanian roads are speed bumps that are EVERYWHERE! You just can't travel fast even if you wanted. Which is much better than bumping into countless policeman asking for bribes as in Mozambique:D<br />

Here is another typical bus stop place for travellers, where you can go for a lunch, buy some fruit in fruit market or just go to the restroom:<br />

Beautiful Tanzanian road, sometimes we didn't feel we are in Africa, it seems like any western country, and notice, there is no litter anywhere!<br />

Tanzania is very famous for its sisal plantations. It is rich of fiber and has been grown to produce agricultural trine, paper, rope, footware, hats, bags, carpets etc. Tanzania is the second biggest sisal producer in the World after Brazil. It was introduced into Tanzania in 1893 by germans. The plant Agave sisalana was smuggled into Tanganyika from Yucatán, Mexico in the belly of a stuffed crocodile. Only 66 plants had survived the journey but it was commercially viable to start the industry.<br />

Later we went through Moshi village which is famous for those who goes to climb Kilimanjaro. Lots of hotels and lodges, but none of them offered camping. So we headed out of the town. It was getting late and sun started to set. All cows going home:) :<br />

And here it was! Our first glimpse of Kilimanjaro!!!!! Not exactly as in postcards with giraffes and zebras, but still very majestic and magnificent:<br />

Todays last hour on the road we drove in the darkness, which was crazy because Tanzanians don't use any lights on their cars!!! That was mad driving. Finally we found a place to stay which was called Torchbearer, that was out in the countryside. (<a href="http://www.torch-bearer.com/">http://www.torch-bearer.com/</a>) There we met nice old English lady who kindly showed us around. The place was an orphanage, lots of kids. It was new years eve, so we cooked our meal and celebrated our new year next to the Kilimanjaro, which we couldn't see, because it was so dark. But we knew its gonna be the first thing we will see in the morning when we wake up! But that - tomorrow...<br />
