A 4 hour bus journey to Tanga then a 2 hour journey to Pangani filled with the most interesting people- I must say I have never been cramped into a bus so filled with bags, objects, shopping and people. Fasinating to watch everytime the bus pulled into a stop the amount of food pushed up to the windows for sale... I must admit with the smells of all of the amazing samosas, I was rethinking my decision to be vegetarian... Our first glimpse of the sea looked like ...

Another 6 hour journey today but it was on public transport so it was rather cramped. Well worth it for all of the amazing sights. Who knew Africa could be so lush! When we arrived in the village it was very hot and there was a rush to get all of our luggage before it moved on... Once we arrived at the school to find that there as it was a national census, school had been closed to pupils while we were there. Quite a disappointment! There would be some childre...

We were picked up today by Methley and the Safari team ready for our 4 hour journey towards Arusha and the Ngorangora Crater.

We also saw so many young boys walking along the road with their faces covered in white paint and black markings. Our guide told us that they were part of a celebration where the boys have to tr...

Today we crossed the border into Tanzania which took 8 hours by bus. The border was chaotic- I'm afraid to say we all had to get rather bolshy just to keep our place in the queue! Once in Tanzania I was...

3 hour bus journey to the Masai Mara today. On our way we stopped to pick up food for the next 5 days. Absolutely loved going through the market- so many colours and smells. Managed to haggle to get the food within our budget- it's amazing how much prices seem to go up when they see musungu! Driving into the Masai Mara was a massive experience in itself, driving off-road to the village was terrifying, my knuckles were white! Arrived to the campsite to be gr...
