Dar es Salaam, Tanzania to Honey Badger Camp, Tanzania.
Warned by Will the previous evening, we knew today would be another long haul. The additional two hours of driving time because we couldn’t use the harbour ferry only compounded the misery. The entire day was an unending kaleidoscope of villages and countryside whizzing by at highway speeds.

The highlight of the day came near dusk when the snow capped peak of Kilimanjaro suddenly appeared out from behind its usual shroud of enveloping clouds. Will pulled the truck over and we climbed out for this uncommon photo op. Even Brett said that he has only seen Kili’s peak three or four times. It was our reward for enduring another numb-bum day.

We pulled into the Honey Badger Lodge (http://www.honeybadgerlodge.com/) a little while later. The grounds and amenities were quite nice with a pool, bar, and well manicured grassy area for camping. However, we chose to upgrade to a room in anticipation of a long, hot shower in our own en-suite. The room itself was cozy and private, being located at the other end of the compound. Our only real disappointment was the complete lack of hot water. Oh well. A quick, cold rinse, and off to bed.

Well it has been some time since I commented, so here we go. You and Eron seem to have picked an excellent group to travel with in such harsh conditions. The travel bumpy and long would wear out a normal 65 year old like me. The fabulous colors and changing scenery are reminiscent of my travel to Marrakesh in Morocco. Your photos have been amazing and I am certain you could make a book of these treasures when you return. Keep safe and we will see you soon on your return.
Stunning country side…wow..great pics…sorry to hear of the “hotel blues”…least you had an option!
Seeing Kilimanjaro like that truly was a bonus. Glad you got the shot,
Really nice shot of Kilimanjaro. I’ve only seen it “out” by moonlight. I too had an “interesting” shower – at a hotel in Kasane. NO cold water, only hot. So hot I had to turn it down to the lowest setting and dance between droplets to avoid a scald. And just when I got soaped up – no water at all. I had to wipe off the soap with a wet, cold towel!
