点评:With the 3 boys and 1 of the girlfriends, we visited Tanzania for 3 weeks. Just returned.
The Kilimanjaro climb was exhausting, most of all the long descent (3000m) immediately following the climb (1300m) to the top on summit day. An amazing experience, but be prepared and in good condition. Lemosho 7 or 8 days is definitely the preferable route, as well for acclimatisation as for nature's beauty, jungle, Barranco wall. The whole team -3x as numerous as the group of climbers itself!- of guides, cook, porters really did a tremendous job. And they do this over and over again. Deep respect.
2nd week we were really up to some more relaxing activity. We visited Lake Natron -the Masai region-, Ngorongoro, Tarangire (absolute favorite, the number of animals seems uncountable) and Mkomazi, with the rhino reintroduction centre. All very much worth seeing.
3rd week was for Usambara mountains, more walking, but also more relaxed, through local villages and in plain nature; to end in Pangani, at the cliffs continuously hammered by the Indian Ocean.
We proposed a whole program ourselves and Marion finetuned it to what became this unforgettable immersion in central African life. The local contacts, the beautiful nature, the hakuna matata (no worries) and pole pole (no hurries) way of living, you need to live it to understand it. Everything smoothly organised. We can but encourage all to go this way, local.
Thanks Marion, Ben, and all of you for guiding us in such an unforgettable experience!
翻译:我们和三个儿子和一个女朋友在坦桑尼亚待了三个星期。刚刚回来。
攀登乞力马扎罗山非常累人,尤其是在登顶当天,爬升(1300米)到顶峰后,紧接着是漫长的下山路(3000米)。这是一次很棒的体验,但一定要做好准备,保持良好的状态。在莱莫绍停留7到8天绝对是首选路线,不仅能适应环境,还能欣赏到自然美景,比如丛林和巴兰科岩壁。整个团队——人数是登山队人数的三倍!——包括向导、厨师和搬运工——都做得非常出色。他们一遍又一遍地重复着同样的工作。我对此深表敬意。
第二周,我们打算进行一些更轻松的活动。我们参观了纳特龙湖——马赛地区——恩戈罗恩戈罗、塔兰吉雷(我绝对喜欢,那里的动物数量似乎数不胜数)和姆科马齐,那里有犀牛重新引入中心。所有地方都非常值得一看。第三周我们去了乌桑巴拉山脉,徒步时间更长,但也更加放松,穿过当地村庄,感受着自然的自然风光;最后抵达潘加尼,那里的悬崖峭壁不断受到印度洋的冲击。
我们自己制定了完整的行程,Marion 对其进行了微调,最终成就了这次难忘的中非生活体验。当地人的交流、美丽的自然风光、“hakuna matata”(无忧无虑)和“pole pole”(不着急)的生活方式,只有亲身体验才能体会。一切都安排得井井有条。我们鼓励大家也来体验一下这种本地风情。
感谢 Marion、Ben 以及你们所有人的带领,让我们拥有如此难忘的体验!
