After coming down from the mountain, about two hours or so, Nalan Shiqi and Yun fell to the Kentan border town of Namanga. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info The town is not big, but it is very lively, and there are many large trucks resting here.

Although the safari itinerary of Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo is undertaken by Kiboslope, after entering Tanzania, you need to change cars and drivers. You can apply for a visa on arrival directly at the border, 50 US dollars per person, which is very fast and can be done in 10 minutes. When applying for a visa, the landlord Yunluo suddenly felt dizzy and wanted to vomit.

The outdoor temperature was more than 30 degrees that day, and after staying in the car for a long time, it was estimated that he was suffering from heat stroke. Yunluo lay down on the bench in the visa hall and rested for a while, ate some Rendan, touched some cool oil, and after 20 minutes, it was obviously much better, so it is better to bring more heatstroke medicine.

While lying down and resting, James also came over to visit Yunluo and asked Yunluo to drink more water and rest more, which moved Yunluoxiao. is about to be separated from him, Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi are very reluctant to give up this middle-aged man who is serious and responsible in his work and has rich experience in safari, and they will part after leaving each other's mailing addresses.

The driver who accepted Lan Shiqi and Yunluo was a young man, who looked simple and didn't talk much, and to be honest, he was a little disappointed at the time.

Because most of the trips of Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo Safari are in Tanzania, and according to everyone's previous experience, the drivers in Tanzania are not as good as the drivers in Kenya. Especially when Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo met such a good person as Jamal again, Yunluo was worried that the gap in Tanzania would be too big.

It takes about an hour and a half from the border to Arusha, and the road conditions are very good, and when they were on the road, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo knew that the driver who accepted Lan Shiqi and Yunluo was not the driver who took Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo to safari in the next few days, he was only responsible for accepting Lan Shiqi and Yunluo to Arusha.

At around five o'clock in the afternoon, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo arrived in Arusha, the third largest city in Tanzania. Although it is the third largest city. But in terms of scale, it is about the same as the average county town in China. The city is mostly bungalows, the whole city looks very quiet, and the pace of life is very slow.

Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo first went to exchange foreign exchange, the exchange rate was 1:1610, and then found a telecommunications business hall to apply for a phone card. The phone card is 5,000 shillings, and 20,000 shillings are charged for a 500 megabit data package. The local area is a 3G network, and the speed of Internet access is quite fast.

The place where Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo live is called Impala Hotel, which is a relatively large international hotel. This hotel basically accepts all foreigners, a bit like the foreign-related hotel in China that specialized in receiving foreign guests a few decades ago. The hardware of the hotel is decent, the house is a bit old, but the room is big and the hot water is very good.

After Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo settled into their accommodation, they saw that the sky was still bright, and they planned to go shopping on the street. Given security considerations. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo didn't bring anything when they went out, so they brought some change and a card machine.

After walking around the street for half an hour, it was getting dark, and Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo returned to the hotel. On the way back, I met two young men who took the initiative to greet Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo.

Also enthusiastic from the cloud to introduce very friendly. On the same day, I also met a 40-person Chinese team in the hotel, and the restaurant was full of Chinese people at that time, and it was as if I had returned to China at that moment.

Eight o'clock in the morning. Meet Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo's new driver, Benson, at the door of the hotel. Benson is a 30-year-old guy who looks very energetic. And very talkative. The first impression was very good, and the previous worries disappeared in a flash. It takes about three hours to get from Arusha to Ngorongoro.

The road conditions are not very good, and the new road is being built, which makes the already difficult road even more bumpy, and the road is dusty all the way. However, the new road will soon be completed, and it should be much more comfortable for everyone to go to Ngoro by then.

At around eleven o'clock in the afternoon, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo arrived at the gate of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, and there were not many people. From time to time, there are monkeys roaming around the door.

The driver explained to Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo the origin of the name of the Ngorongoro Reserve: Ngorongoro's English name is Ngorongoro, which is almost pronounced gelonggelong. This area has always been inhabited by the Maasai people, who carry bells around their necks and make a gelonggelong sound when they walk, hence the name.

Today's itinerary is mainly to the crater of Ngorongoro. The crater is fertile with water and grass all year round. Animals do not need to migrate, so animals are more concentrated in this area, and it is easier to find predators such as lions. What's more, the scenery here is simply like a fairyland.

At first, I was deeply poisoned by watching a few pictures of the crater taken by others in the early morning. Originally, I wanted to live at the NgorongoroWildlifeLodge at the top of the crater, and the room there overlooked the entire crater, which was quite magnificent! But in the end, considering the budget, I had to reluctantly part my love. (Many friends who have not been in the past have reported that the cost performance is not high).

I attach a few photos I took, but I don't show a tenth of the real beauty, so let's make do with it.

The animals in the crater are indeed dense, and here Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo finally saw the lion! It's a pity that these guys are lazily sleeping there, without even raising their heads, which is really shameless. In the end, I looked at the animal world and realized that lions are resting for more than 20 hours a day, and it seems that their state is the norm.

I didn't go to Nakuru to see the flamingos, but I didn't expect that there were so many in the crater, but it was too far away. Flocks of flamingos, really spectacular! Benson explained to Yunluo that the reason why flamingos are red is because they are affected by the food they eat, and if you put flamingos in Huaguo, they will be white, so amazing!

It should be reminded that you need to buy a separate ticket to enter the crater, which costs $200 per car and lasts for 6 hours, so you must control the time. Make sure you have enough but don't overtime, or you'll need to pay another $200! Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo entered around 12 o'clock that day.

Play until almost five o'clock in the afternoon and start to rush to the hotel. Along the way, the driver called a wild biao, and arrived at the crater gate at about half past five, and Benson said at the time: wearesafe!

In the evening, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo stayed at a Rhinolodge not far from the crater. This hotel can't see the caldera, and the area is not big, but the value for money is quite high. And it's cozy. This hotel is the kind of open, without fence protection nets or anything, and the balcony of the room where Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo live is directly connected to the outside, isn't it exciting?

The big bird in front of the hotel, I saw a lot in the Serengeti later, I forgot what the name was.

What I especially recommend is their restaurant, which is beautiful and the meals are delicious. There was a soup, green, I don't remember any name. It was very delicious, and Yunluo drank several bowls. This is also the only place to eat with the driver during Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo's safari, and Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo and Benson talked a lot in the evening.

There are many aspects related to the politics, culture, education, customs and habits of the two countries. Benson was a Maasai man, his father was very wealthy, married nine Nalan Shiqi, sold cattle for him to go to college, and now he is working, in turn buying cattle for the family. Benson is also a person who worries about the country and the people. Since the Maasai are not allowed to hunt and farm in the reserve.

So their only source of income is the fees paid by tourists to visit their villages. But for those who are far from the road, tourists do not go. Some Maasai people will starve to death, and their eyes are full of tears when they say this.

He also talked about the politics of their country, and he felt that the country is very good now, the president does not care about the life and death of the people, but only collects money for himself, and many people hope to promote political reform through war. Speaking of which, Yunluo only knew. Tanzania has never fought a war since its founding.

Speaking of which, there is a particularly interesting history. In the 60s of the last century, there was a national liberation movement throughout Africa**, and Tanzania was a British colony at the time, and their founding leader, Nyerere, led everyone**. But their ** way is peaceful. In Benson's exact words.

At that time, Nyerere ran to the queen and said that she wanted to **, and Elizabeth could not stop the situation, so she asked: "Can you feed your own people?" Nyerere was very adamant that he could do it, and the UK signed an agreement to agree to Tanzania**. After a while, the Tanzanian government found that it could not handle it, so it asked for help from the then Huaguo.

Hua Guo selflessly helped them with a lot of food. Yunluo told Benson that at that time, Huaguo was actually very poor, and he couldn't eat enough, but he still saved money to support his African brothers! Finally, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo wish China-Africa relations a long history!

During this period, Benson asked Yunluo how many people there were in Huaguo, and Yunluo told him that it was nearly 1.4 billion. The guy's expression collapsed at that time, and he asked Yunluo three times in a row, "Are you sure you're right!?" He couldn't imagine what that number was, and the whole of Tanzania had a population of about 40 million.

Speaking of this, Yunluo hurried to follow up on the issue of war that he had just said, saying that it was better to be peaceful. China has experienced many, many wars, and the wars were very cruel, and the Japanese killed 37 million Chinese during World War II alone.

(Yunluo deliberately wanted to say this paragraph, so that the people of the world also knew that Little Japan was not very polite as they saw, and it was all brutes in its bones!) Benson was shocked to hear that the number was quite far from slaughtering their country.

The room was still a little cold at night, and there was a Western-style fireplace in the room, and if you needed it, you could ask the waiter to light it, and it was a large piece of wood burned. I was going to set the fireplace on fireplace, but I didn't think it was safe, and it wouldn't be good if I got a carbon monoxide poisoning hanging in Africa. However, the blankets in the hotel are quite thick, and I can sleep more soundly at night.

Today's itinerary starts with Ndutu in Ngorongoro, where Ngorong and Serengeti meet. In February and March every year, a large number of animals are concentrated here, especially wildebeest, which will come to this place to give birth to baby wildebeest. Benson says that when wildebeest is in labor, they can hold it for up to two weeks.

Until they arrived at Ndutu (which was really suffocating). When I first walked to Ndutu, I met several Maasai teenagers wearing black clothes with white faces, and the driver said that this was a rite of passage for Maasai men.

When they are almost adults, they will dress like this, and after three months they will be adults, and they can marry and work, and so on. The three teenagers were three brothers, and Yunluo took a photo with them and paid each a dollar as a tip.

When they arrived at Ndutu, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo found that the animals they had seen a few days ago didn't dare to call too much, but there were quite a lot of them here! Wildebeests, gazelles, and zebras are everywhere. And the cars here are basically driving inside the grassland, which is closer to the animals.

Deep in the ndutu is the low forest, which is the coolest place for the clouds to feel safari. Cars are weaving through the forest, with low acacia trees everywhere and animals running around you, which is completely different from safari in the endless grasslands.

Just when Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo were safari, they were pleasantly surprised to find that there was a small wildebeest that had just died on a tree next to Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo, which should have been the trophy hunted by the jaguar not long ago. If it weren't for Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo being in a hurry, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo could hide and wait for the jaguar to come back.

Sure enough, when Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo passed by here on their return journey again, the little wildebeest was gone. Although Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo had seen jaguars in the Serengeti after Yunluo, they were very far away, and Nalan Shiqi regretted that he did not stick to it this time.

The lunch stop is at the Ndutulodge, which is not next to the lake, but you can see the lake shore from afar. Here, Yunluo finally understands why the lakemask tent hotel located on the lake is so expensive.

After eating at noon, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo need to go back the way they came, exit the ndutu and enter the Serengeti. On the way back, it was pouring rain, and the driver said that Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo's luck was too good, and if they had encountered this heavy rain earlier, then Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo would not have been able to go deep into the forest of Ndutu. (To be continued.) )
