Road trip to Mufindi

Because it is the Easter holidays we decided to take a trip to the Southern Highlands of Tanzania. It took us 12 hours to get there and we camped for one night in Iringa.
The children loved their first camping experience, in spite of the safari ants that invaded Joshua's tent. It's not actually that far on the map, but the road is awful, so it took a long time. All the broken down lorries blocking our way didn't help. We were very grateful for our four wheel drive as we drove through mud. Some of the other vehicles weren't so lucky or clearly judged the angle badly. I have never seen so many broken down lorries. On the way back we passed a big crash involving 3 lorries. Two had turned over and the other one had plunged down a ravine.

Forget counting red cars; we had a spot the animal competition and saw elephants, giraffe, zebra, baboons, impala and water buffalo. No lions though!

We camped again on the way back and spent the afternoon in Iringa.
