Tanzania; on various occasions we took
people with us on the hood of the car (we do not have space for
lifters in our car)
Tanzania; this boy was very friendly,
some others, we don't have pictures, try to hit you with their stick
if you don't give them something (money)
Tanzania, Lake Natron; We were invited at a Masai village. They build their houses with cow-shit and mud and of course we were encouraged to buy their traditional things.

Tanzania, Lake Natron; surprise after a
very bad and bumpy road (50 Km) the Masai wanted money to pass this
gate. We argued about the fee, but it didn't help. We had to pay 20
dollar. We continued on the still very bumpy road till we were
stopped by an other Masai gate. The first gate “forgot” to tell
us about this. Again we had to pay 20 dollar. At the end nearly at
our destination Lake Natron there was another gate. Here they wanted
us to pay a 50 dollar fee. So, in the end we paid 90 dollars for a
very, very bad and bumpy road.

Tanzania, Kilwa and Moshi; we were very
safe. The Masai was not further than five meters away from our car,
during the whole night.

Tanzania, Lake Natron; we found a
camp-site with a nice view, runned by the Masai. Very quickly after
our arrival we saw a lot of dust and dark clouds from a distance in
the air. We asked one of the Masai if the bad weather was coming to
this site. NOOOO, was the answer. It never comes to this location.
So, we unfolded our rooftoptent and within five minutes there was a
thunderstorm so big we had never had before. Syl survived in the car
and Jan saved the tent by hanging on to it. It took more than an
hour. We saw several small tents blowing away. Next morning, we
missed our tent cover. We found it at the other side of the
camp-site.
