Dag 7: Kimana ward, Kajiado County

Home Biota: what is it? Animals Plants Mammals Birds Insects NL EN

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.
