Photo Friday: Boys at Work in Iringa, Tanzania

I am always looking for photo opportunities. On a stroll through the town of Iringa in Tanzania, I met these two boys at work.

Photo Friday: Tanzania - Safari in a Bus Seat

Many tourists come to Tanzania to go safari. Few go on safari in a public transport bus seat. – Iringa is 500 kilometres west of Dar es Salaam and an eight-hour bus ride along the Tanzam Highway. The largest town on the way is Morogoro. Some 150 kilometres west of Morogoro, the highway runs through Mikumi National Park for 50 kilometres.

Two Good reasons to visit Iringa, Tanzania

Iringa looked interesting on the map: a small orange square, meaning small town. Next to the square it said colonial buildings, Mkwawa Memorial Museum, and Isimila Stone Age Site and Gorge. Two excellent reasons to go to Iringa, although at that point I did not know what to expect. Another recommendation was its altitude of 1,600m. Coastal regions in Tanzania can be quite hot.
