Tanzania: the beautiful country that is home to Kilimanjaro, the Lion King and to many of the friendliest and happiest people you could ever meet. Here, music always fills the air and it is impossible to pass anybody on the street without them warmly welcoming you to their country and asking how you are.

It is known for its archetecture and its history as the the oldest and highest in rank of all the Bundela states. The town and it people were very laid back and friendly and it was nice not to fear for your life every time you were anywhere near a road. Our hotel was amazing.. static tents which were only metres from the incredible templ...
