Headed away from Arusha on our journey towards Zanzibar, we passed Mount Kilimanjaro- although you couldn't tell because it was so cloudy so we couldn't see a thing! Our base camp for Zanzibar was in Dar Es Salaam, where we left the truck, Steve and Moses (our driver and cook), while we disappeared for a few days R and R. Dar Es Salaam was a bit of a sweaty dump, but the campsite was just outside and was lovely, right on the beach! Had to catch the bay ferry fr...

Said my goodbyes to the guys on the Gorilla truck and hopped back on board to meet everyone that will be travelling down to Vic Falls with me. The first stop was Arusha in Tanzania, which we used as a base camp to go into the Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti. The Ngorongoro Crater was absolutely stunning, by far one of the most gorgeous places I have ever been to! It was a steep climb up to the Crater, we even drove through the clouds, and then when we came o...

Left Jinja very early again for another long drive over the border! As it was another long drive we arrived at our campsite just as it was going dark again, so we set up camp and had dinner. After dinner we went on a guided chameleon walk, was actually a lot more interesting than it sounds! They are really cute! I loved this campsite as it had a dog quite similar to Snoop, so had a few cuddles! Was very tempted to kidnap him! Left this campsite after a lie-in: 7...

After leaving gorilla base camp we headed for Lake Bunyonyi. Unfortunately we didnt see much of the lake because we didnt arrive until the sun was just going down. We were supposed to spend 2 days there but the itinery had been changed slightly so was just an overnight stop. We set up camp and headed to the bar! Sat around a campfire and didnt leave the bar until 3.30 am, not such a late night until I realised I had to be up at 5.30! Headed to Kampala the next d...

Left Kampala at stupid o clock in the morning (4.30am start!) and, after picking up 6 people who were joining us just for the Gorilla Trek, we set off on a 13.5 hour drive to Kisoro! In two days we had spent 25.5 hours on the truck! The roads were shocking too, so it was not a good drive! However, we did drive into Ugandan countryside which was stunning, really lush and green and full of lakes and hills, and little hillside villages! We also passed 3 volcanoes wh...
