Making our way towards the Zambian border we stopped at Kisolanza Camp between Iringa and Mbeya. Everyone we have spoken to raved about the place so we were looking forward to seeing it as we missed it on our way up.
 
 
Beautiful laid out camp sites amongst indigenous trees.
Lovely clean ablution facilities with HOT WATER.
 
 
 
For the first time we could feel were getting closer to home as this camp was more what we were used to in South Africa.

The next stop over in Tanzania on our way to Zambia was at Morogorro.
 
 
Once again Tracks-4-Africa on our GPS helped us to find a nice grassy camp site in one of the lodges. We had a beautiful view of the mountains in Morogorro.

We were getting quite used to Isiolo as we stopped there twice during our taxi expedition to Nairobi and back.
 
We found a nice little camp site just outside Isiolo. Lovely grass, hot water and we even had dinner delivered to our camp.
 
 
 
We took advantage of the grassy area to clean the tents and equipment after the mud & dust of Northern Kenya.
