The trip to Arusha was smooth, roads great , stopped for a bite to eat on the fancy road up to a United Nations criminal investigation building and then reached Arusha -the difference in vegetation is very noticeable – a much greener surrounding
What a busy place Arusha is – the road entering was crowded with informal traders on the left and formal businesses on the right
The road busy with men pushing wheelbarrows of various designs, bicycles, motorbikes, bajajis, taxis, safari vehicles, buses and cars
We followed Garmin and maps.me and google maps and made our way through Arusha past the clock tower roundabout up to the main road to USA River looking for Twiga lodge – which was our destination for the night – we eventually got to a really bad gravel road on the border of Arusha National Park and started heading south – and by now seriously questioning all our navigation aids – and then we found Twiga lodge
What a delight – we met Paul & Erika Sweet and were immediately invited to have a cup of tea
We were in Little England with Tudor cottages and immaculate gardens
it wasn’t long before we had pitched camp and settled in
even got the guitar out
then we explored around Twiga Shaw lodge…
Just love this – the geet is open for business wherever you are.
