Day 35, 5 March - Iringa to Mikumi
Another beautiful drive. Descending from 1750m at Iringa, into the warmer plains, through the valley of Baobabs. The road follows the Ruaha river for some time. Baobobs grow in groves, very hard to appreciate from text or photos. Mark, at the Old Farmhouse, told us that we would see more baobabs than we had seen in our lives, and he was quite right. Like weeds, they seem to grow everywhere.

We arrived in Mikumi to spend the night at the TanSwiss hotel, which had nice accommodation, decorated throughout by a local artist with large mural scenes from Tanzania and Switzerland!
