点评:I visited Usambara Mountins several times . Two years ago with a big group, this year with three young Tanzanian friends. I cannot hike very far, my friends do. we did the hike to Irente view Point and this time there really was a view and not only clouds like last time. Even without the view it is a lovely hike through villages and secret shortcuts along shambas and little streams. On the way back I felt that I could not really make it back all the way to Lushoto and Christina our guide was quick to arrange a boda boda to pick me up.
We did another trip to KIasa waterfalls and it helped that this time I brought my hiking poles. Christina is a good guide and we had good conversations during the walk in Swahili and English. Back at the office at the bus station Kisavoi made us delicious local coffee and we arranged for a nyama choma all together. Christina also advised us a very good guesthouse in town the Castaway. Nothing really special just good, clean and with a good breakfast, central in Lushoto. All in all we had a very good experience but haggle a bit about the price with Christina!
翻译:我去过乌桑巴拉山好几次。两年前和一大群人一起去,今年和三个坦桑尼亚的小朋友一起。我不能走很远,我的朋友可以。我们徒步去了伊伦特观景点,这次的景色真的美极了,不像上次那样只有云彩。即使没有美景,这也是一次美妙的徒步旅行,我们穿过村庄,沿着香巴斯河和小溪走秘密捷径。在回来的路上,我觉得我真的无法一路回到卢绍托,我们的导游克里斯蒂娜很快就安排了一辆小汽车来接我。
我们又去了基亚萨瀑布,这次我带了登山杖,这很有帮助。克里斯蒂娜是一位很好的导游,我们在徒步旅行中用斯瓦希里语和英语进行了愉快的交谈。回到基亚萨汽车站的办公室,基亚萨为我们煮了美味的当地咖啡,我们一起安排了一次nyama choma。克里斯蒂娜还给我们推荐了镇上一家非常好的宾馆——卡斯特韦。没什么特别的,就是很好,干净,早餐很美味,位于卢绍托的中心位置。总的来说,我们的体验非常好,但是与克里斯蒂娜在价格上讨价还价了一点!
