And just for a change a 7:30am departure. Leaving the Ngorongoro coffee farm and getting to another coffee plantation just outside Arushu at 11:30am for lunch. Then another 5 hours to the border crossing just after Moshi.
The crossing was fairly painless and customs guys quite friendly. They even had a mission statement on the wall to be the best customs/ immigration office in the world. Quite achievable it is the thought of being the cleanest toilet that would be the challenge. It was also here we changed cars to Kenyan drivers, our little family of six got broken up to three, us and our new Belgium lady friend. The road followed the base of mount Kilimanjaro and quite scenic. From then, 2 hours to our next tent for the night. This place was magic, all the tents having a view of the snow covered mount.
Satao Elerai camp, tents with no fences around.
