Arusha is the safari capital of Tanzania and a major tourism centre. We camped at Masai campt about 3k out of town, a long time favourite of overlanders like us and the usual overland trucks. This time it was 3 pink coaches called Pink Caravan from Sweden some of whome we had seen previously in Uganda. The town of Arusha was just a haven of touts mythering you about oeverything under the sun, they even aksed you for money for showing you where the ATM machine is when you didn't ask for help in the first place! We didn't take to Arusha at all and eventually dived into a hotel in the centre of town and had a coffee just for some respite from the touts. On our first night at Masai there was thunder and lightening together with heavy rain which brought down a tree right on the top of a guy's tent. He was lucky as he could have been killed. The second night was just as bad and we decided to leave the next day.
