Kigoma - Tanzania

We had a  quiet day of sleeping , snorkeling, with a short visit to the Livingstone museum in Ujiji.  

Brent Wibberley arrived late afternoon with Bill and Robyn Geech from Mwanza. Brent drove through from Kenya to Mwanza and from there  the three of them spent almost two days to get to Kigoma in a 4x4 with the kayak. It took Brent in excess of 25 hours to do the 1200 km, as the crow flies, (according to Google Earth as measured on the internet), to get to Kigoma. In this part of Africa they do not measure distance in kilometers or miles, but in time travelled.

The good news though is Robyn and Bill brought some boerewors and steak along, and we are looking forward to a South African braai tonight.

We changed our strategy and will now only leave on Tuesday morning. Tomorrow we will do the paperwork at customs as we will soon cross the border into Burundi. Supplies for the last stage of our trip will be re-evaluated and adjusted if necessary. That,  and a visit  to a local clinic to hand out mosquito nets , will take most of the morning.  And very important, we will spend time with Louis's friends, Bill and Robyn.

Gr8 going, Guys. You deserved the weekend break.
What's the temp and humidity like?
Is it true that they have 2 summers every year?
You're almost home- hopefully this last stretch will not be too difficult.
Take care.
