Date 7th April 2012
After weeks of preparation we started our Easter excursion to Lusoto and Pangani in Tanga region. Enjoying the nature and people beside the road we reached to beautiful accommodation Maweni Farm. It is located at Soni, 18km before Lushoto town.
It took about 6 hours to reach Maweni due to some technical issues in our vehicle. Before we had our lunch, we spent about two hours at the beautiful Mwani Farm garden. It was really a good place to relax, enjoy nature and photography.
Lunch was served at about 1:30pm. Soon after enjoying delicious fried fish, chips and fresh salad, we started our tour to Irente view point. Due to heavy rains, road was slippery and muddy. Therefore we stopped our vehicle about 1km before the view point and hiked to the point.
After spending some time at view point we return to our vehicle.
Guess what happened then? Our vehicle was struck in the mud. With the help of villagers we were able to take the vehicle out of the mud. I will never forget the help of innocent and cooperative villagers there.
On our way we didn't forget to stop at Lushoto church.
Next we drove to find good food for dinner. We had our dinner at Lwans. Thereafter we returned to our accommodation to have a good night sleep. I really liked the luxury tented accommodation.
Highlight of the day : stuck in the mud.
