Today ended up being a whole day of traveling from Uganda to Tanzania. We left Sanctuary Gorilla Forrest Camp @ 7:30AM for a 1 1/2 hour drive to Kihihi airport to catch a flight back to Entebbe. We had lunch at the VIP lounge during our transit at the airport prior to our flight out to Nairobi International Airport* in Kenya. We then flew out of Nairobi down to Kilimanjaro airport in Tanzania. From there we were met by the Sanctuary reps to drive us 2 hours to Arusha. By the time we got to the Arusha Coffee Lodge, we were done. Skipped dinner and went straight to bed after a quick shower.
*Silly incident at the Nairobi airport. As we were going through security, the guards said, “Jambo!” The two of us looked around confused thinking that the lane was only for Jambojet passengers. Then the guard said, “Nihao!”. It took us a while to realize that ‘Jambo’ meant ‘hello’ in Swahili. We looked like clueless tourists.
