Day 7: Olmoti Crater

Waterfall in the Olmoti Crater Originally uploaded by gubbex. We left the Ngorongoro lodge in the morning to go to the Empakai Crater. Later on it turned out that the destination had been changed and we stopped much, much earlier at the Olmoti Crater after a long ride around the Ngorongoro Crater on the rim of it. The Olmoti Crater’s …

Day 6: Ngorongoro Crater

Ngorongoro Crater: Hippo Pool and then some… Originally uploaded by gubbex. Today we left the Serengeti National Park to go to the Ngorongoro Conservation and through the unique Ngorongoro Crater.

Day 3: Lake Manyara

Baboons in Lake Manyara National Park Originally uploaded by Jakob. On the third day of our two weeks here we went all the way from Moshi to Lake Manyara National Park.

Moshi – by the foot of Kilimanjaro

So we’ve now pretty much enjoyed our first day here. I’m writing now, since we’re probably not going to be in touch with any kind of connection  whatsoever over the next couple of days. We arrived yesterday at Kilimanjaro International airport and went straight to the hotel on the outskirts of Moshi. Yesterday evening when we arrived, Moshi looked pretty …

We’re going !

So… Tanzania is currently 25 hours away – or at least the airplane going to Tanzania is.
