  • Week 608/07/19 We left Arusha at 8/8.30 and headed to Moshi, the town at the base of Mt Kilimanjaro. The bus we got on did about 3-4 laps of the bus station as it filled up. I’ve really no idea why. Maybe Posted by katiebeckett in Returning to Africa 2019 | Jul 13, 2019
  • Week 501/07/19 Pinch punch! The best word to describe today is ‘long’. We woke up at 5 and had left our happy room in Comfort Lodge by half past. It was pitched black outside and pretty cold. We fumbled our way back Posted by katiebeckett in Returning to Africa 2019 | Jul 12, 2019
  • Climbing KilimanjaroOverview… So many likes, so many comments. Our photo from the roof of Africa was a hit, at least in our limited social media circles. Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro? Easy.

  • Hakuna matata! On tour with Captain MuhuThe biggest bed under the fan turns out to be the best sleeping spot in our beach house.

  • Spices, slavery and Freddie MercuryBreakfast is served in the large open dining and sitting area of Hiliki House on the first floor.

  • Don't accept a man for less than 500 cowsBreakfast at 8 a.m., with the cook eager to make some omelets or pancakes, what more do you want?

  • "You know why I am a rich man???"What a wonderful way to start the day: sunshine, walking out into lovely gardens and sitting out on the terrace of the lodge.

  • Safari happinessBy 6 a.m. we are packed again and wait downstairs in the hall for a simple breakfast. But it seems we are the only ones awake. Chichi is sleeping in a staff room, we can catch a glimpse of his Posted by Petravs in Tanzania roadtrip 2019 | Mar 16, 2019
  • "You will sleep like a baby."Zanzibar, what a name. It breathes something exotic, just these letters put together, Z-A-N-Z-I-B-A-R.

  • Tanzanian Safari, Days 2-3: Serengeti National ParkAs we begrudgingly checked out of the beautiful Kudu Lodge, we knew we couldn't be too sad.
