FROM ONE STUNNING BEACH TO ANOTHER 21 July 2008 Day 143 Pangani - Dar Es Salaam (Sunrise Beach) Km SARAH: We sadly left beautiful Peponi beach and drove south to Dar. Driving was slow going as we entered 50km/hr and 30km/hr zones. After our police encounter the other day we didn't want to get fined for speeding and the police in their white uniforms are hiding everywhere! We were doing well until we hit the outskirts of Dar where we saw a lady in white s...

OFF TO THE BEACH 18 July 2008 Day 139 Loshoto - Pangani (Peponi Beach Campsite) Km SARAH: Goodbye Taco and Brenda…we'll see you next in S.A.! We parted company and made our way to the coast. We had our first police check and he wanted to fine us for having a dirty Landy…but we got let off! Peponi beach is just awesome and just what we had hoped for…camping right on the beach which looks pretty rustic and probably how it looked 20 years ago. Tall ...

INTO TANZANIA 15 July 2008 Day 136 Nairobi - Arusha, Tanzania (Masai Camp) Km BRUCE: It was a rainy start to the day and as always Jungle Junction was bustling from first light. We stopped off to fill up the tank and all the jerries with diesel which was a huge wack but hopefully we won't have to fill up again until Dar. I can't believe that in Libya we filled all this for less than £7 and this time it cost £140, but at least they sell beer in Kenya! ...

13 July 2008 Day 134 Eldoret- Nivasha (Camp Cornelly's) Km BRUCE: The road for Eldoret to Nakuru was not as bad as I remembered it, maybe after the good roads in Uganda I'm more relaxed about using the odd bad one! It was Sunday but I thought I would try my luck anyway and see if Gilani's Butchery, in Nakuru, was open. I've heard great things about it but unfortunately it was closed. The road from Nakuru to Nivasha is brand new and was a welcome relief after ...

STUCK AT BEAUTIFUL LAKE BANYONYI 5 July 2008 Day 126 MGNP - Lake Banyonyi (Overland Campsite S1 16.394 E29 56.305) Km BRUCE: Philip, the guy who runs the place was not around today and it took ages to get the showers on the go and we only ended up leaving at about 10am. We drove one of our most scenic roads yet as it followed the shore of Lake Banyonyi and clung to steep hills as it climbed over the spurs in the Lake. Lake Banyonyi is really beautiful and we...
