We left tangarire park at about 8 ...drive slowly i to Arusha. had a funny BBQ lunch ...wonderful BBQ pit, it was a huge circular affair, with masses of hot coals and very long iron rods /squear s of lamb, beef, chicken, sausage etc
this was served with a series of hot sauces and a potato anf some slaw. Our flight was called early somwe had a cheery farewell nto our drivers and the rest od the group who were on their way to
Rwanda da via Nairobi. Another two were leaving for London so there were eight going to the Big Apes.
We Arrived half an hour early, having been kept in the plane for 45 unairconditioned minutes on rhe ground at Zanzibar air port. We finally flew the twenty minutes to Dar es Salaam We had ordered a driver but as he was expecting us after six he was not there and we were HOUNDED by the other taxi drivers, more or less lying to us about our driver etc. eventually David from the hotel came, But It took 95 terrifying minutes to drive through amaš°zing traffic. ten lanes where two was the reality. It was i ncredible how polite the drivers were inthe melee. We saw more people than ever equally crowding the streets, selling everything....from red warning triangles to dvds.
We are now at breakfast having walked the beach beyond the limits of the hotel and inabout ten mi utes one of the Masai from the hotel caught up to us and encouraged us to return. he walked us back to our beach and gave us a thumbs up as he climbed back onto hotel grounds.
