We decided to end our Tanzania visit in Dar es Salaam, even though we heard that it was a horrible city. We stayed at YMCA hotel and spent a couple of relaxed days there without any major incidents; well except when we had to break in at our own hotel one night...Tuesday we went across the street to Holiday in to watch the Champions League game between Manchester United and Cluj. As the reception and the gates close at 11pm we informed them before that we would c...

We left Mombasa Saturday morning and arrived in Arusha 11h later. Everything went really smooth by the border, and I was surprised that there were no hassle at all.
