With the trio down to two after dropping April at the Mbeya Airport, it seemed prudent to work through our grief on the road. We planned to leave early the next morning driving up the west side of the country along the east coast of Lake Tanganyika. It was a short 1,250 kilometers so the plan was to camp one night at the top of Katavi National Park and another night on the lake in Kigoma.

The plan pretty much worked. The roads were horrendous but Bubbles endured. The hardest part was keeping her within the legal limits when we actually hit tarmac. Despite our best efforts, we suffered two setbacks which we could not talk our way out of.

Welcome to Tanzania.
Thank you for visiting Tanzania.

Following our mom’s advice, we will not say anything else about Tanzania.
