I have travelled to Arusha via Dodoma through the central heart of Tanzania. The rainy season is arriving and the days have been wet. Nevertheless, arriving in Arusha has been exciting.

Visiting the Neema Craft workshop was a highlight of this section of the trip. Supported by the adjacent Anglican church, the vocational training centre provided employment and ongoing training for staff all who were either deaf or physically disabled.

I had a smooth crossing across the border into Tanzania today and was issued a visa on entry. On route I came through the flooded lands of northern Malawi. Whole villages were under water following heavy rain.
