on the road

leaving for Tanzania…

To reach the border of Tanzania from Nairobi is very fast… it’s amazingly close. exactly two hours on a very nice road passing gorgeous savanna landscapes with an amazing view of Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Meru…

The last time I came here was in March… in between must have been a looong drought – everything is awfully dry. dust everywhere, even quite a number of  impressive ‘wheat wheels’… and JUA KALI – the hot sun is burning…

Namanga… in between nowhere.

Well, even if you reach the border quickly, you’ll spend your time at the border crossing… going from this to that office. back and forth. and back again. stamp here. stamp there. money here. money there… until you finally set your first step into Tanzania…

But it is sooooo worth it!

I love this country… it’s Nature is stunning.

… and that’s why I came aaaaaaaaall the way from Europe. Lucky me.

I am finally here.
