I changed my flights a couple of days before leaving for Tanzania and the only seats available were in business class so Mini Bear and I flew in style!
We had the most incredible view flying over the green waters of the Mediterranean and the dusty brown landscape of northern Africa. The light through the clouds was intense and dramatic.
I went to my guest house upon arriving in Dar es Salaam and my bag met me there the following day having been mistakenly offloaded in Nairobi during a brief stopover there.
I spent a couple of quiet days walking around my neighborhood which was outside of hectic Dar before I caught a bus north to Moshi. I had been told it was a seven to eight hour bus ride so I expected it to be eight to nine hours and it ended up being much closer to ten hours! The ride was as comfortable as possible; everyone told me Dar Express was the best bus company around. It wasn’t nearly as nice as South American buses but it was good enough and my seat mate was a great conversationalist so you can’t ask for much more!
