From the Amboseli National Park we go to the border with Tanzania, where we get another guide. On the way we visit a Masai village. Many of the Masai villages earn money from tourists by selling souvenirs and giving demonstrations. After the show we go to a small border crossing, where it is very quiet. We are picked up by a driver for the long drive from the border to Lawns Hotel Lushoto. The ride goes through beautiful landscapes, on the way to the Usambara Mountains.
