Hotel Kipepeo

... hatten wir immer noch nicht so viel von der Stadt gesehen. Und durch eine Verkettung einiger Zufälle sind wir dann gestern wieder im Hotel Kipepeo gelandet, in dem wir im Februar schon mal waren. Heute nach dem Frühstück haben wir uns dann auf den Weg ...

... tourists so these guys were relentless!  When I got back to Dar I picked up Claudia and we headed over the South Coast, Kipepeo beach, this time when the cows passed by I had my camera! Saturday night I hung out with the international group of pilot ...

... also understand why Tanzanians would want those priceless items to stay in Tanzania. Side trips: Last last weekend I took a trip to Kipepeo (butterfly) beach right outside of Dar es Salaam with a few friends from Swahili class.  It took us a while ...

... when my journey was over and wouldn't jump at the opporutnity again...only in a different country of course.    I quickly found myself a hotel as i arrived at midnight so wasn't too picky with my choice....in the morning i asked for some tp (toilet ...

Another night in Kipepeo beach in Dars and then off to Lushoto in the Usambara Mountains. Its a really beautiful region – lush and green and the mountains seem to have a constant mist. We went on mountain hike through the villages and forests today ...

... our lovely room. We drive in the truck all day long to Dar Es Salaam. We stop in the town on the way to our accommodation at Kipepeo beach. At Kippepeo we stay in a bunda (beach hut) to avoid the tent again and its very cute. We get very excited about the ...

... braided. Good fun. Zanizibar Day 4 We are now heading back into Stonetown for a few hours before we catch the ferry back to Kipepeo Beach for the arvo. Tomorrow we start heading inland toward the Serengeti. You may not hear from my for 7-10 days as I ...

... and rent for a VERY basic old dingy one room apartment costs between 10,000-30,000 shilling a month. I caught a taxi & ferry to Kipepeo Village which is where I join my tour group. It took us half an hour of sitting in a traffic line to get to the ...

... SMELLY (did I mention that?) ferry brought me to the southern land of Kigamboni where I caught a taxi to drive to Kipepeo, the sister camp to my hotel. The beach was AWESOME. For nearly an hour I just floated on the waves - wondering why no one else ever ...

... is called Mathungu. (not to be confused with 'Mzungu' which means 'white guy' in Swahili!) That night we camped back at the Kipepeo campsite in Kigamboni where we had stayed before going to Zanzibar. We've 'gone soft' with the new truck - it's just ...

... and we had a 3 day wait in Dar. After a night in the lovely Econolodge we took a wee detour 20km south of Dar to Kipepeo beach. Amazing! Its known as the less touristy Zanzibar. White sand, cold beers and wooden bandas to sleep on right on the beach. The ...

... bit of history... just to keep my brain in functional order ... holidays are cool but a bit of intellectual stimulation is a must!  Kipepeo Butterfly farm: for the few who know me well (Is this possible???) I am a butterfly fan... and I'd like ...

Although I was only in Nairobi for a day the first thing you realise is how manic the place is.  The main road into the city has between three and four lanes of traffic in each direction (depending on how many cars can squeeze in) and during rush ...

Our first stay is in Nairobi for a few days.... The mosquito story starts. There are only two in the room and I manage to kill one and don't bother about the other. I am attacked in my face 5 times and look terrible the next morning. That's why I can't ...
