Leaving Snake Park Camp for Ngorongoro Crater we briefly met a German family who recently flew their bike and home-made sidecar into Mombassa and are heading south. Nice guys, but they’ve got a real task on their hands – they’ve … Continue reading
With our reconditioned axel in place we left Jerome in Lushoto, back down the Usambara hairpins to the plains and headed 280km north west to Moshi. We just did a quick overnight stop at The Keys Annex camping and accommodation … Continue reading
I don’t think either of us was disappointed to leave the Dar Es Salaam area and we were looking forward to some beach-time further north. Helene drove, as my leg was too raw to be able to work the clutch … Continue reading
