ARUUUUSHA

From Kenya, to London, to Johannesburg and Viljoenskroon...my journey over the past two years has landed me in... in Arusha, Tanzania, let the adventure begin!

While I have a way to go in establishing myself and finding my feet in Arusha, there are a couple of things I have learnt in my first week here:

Cuisine: Chicken and chips seems to be an all out favourite!!!

             A couple of good curry spots, pizza, breakfast paninis and lots and lots of braais

Beer: Tusker is out, Kilimanjaro is in

Wine: Mmmm, put it this way, the wine you can afford requires plenty of ice!

Places to eat: Nicks Pub (chicken and chips....or chicken and chips!), its a must, its local, fingers only...and dont forget to wash your hands. 

Curry Pot - same sauce, different meat

Blue Heron - Pizza

Little caravan up the road - beans and rice, delicious :)

Nicks Pub

 

Places to drink: Anywhere, everywhere...but very important, The Oscar Bar. Only by invitation and only with a captain morgan and crate of beer. Have also found a fairly swanky Mt Meru Hotel, which serves cocktails, have yet to sample...but kind of like a Westcliff treat I think. 

I have the Serengeti on my doorstep and Mt Meru on the way to work. There is a rumour Mt Kilimajaro is just next door too, but I have yet to see it - so watch this space x

And...Karibuni Arusha any time!!!
