The safaris in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater were great, we are now on our way to Moshi to see the Amani orphanage. A project started by the founder of Guerba. The orphanage is for the street kids from the region of Arusha, they accept anyone who is on the street. They give them a home, food, education until the age of 17, and most importantly, consideration and love.
The kids are great, very happy to see some new faces. We get a tour of the facilities and some info on history and how it's run. As well as some very moving stories about these kids, Africa can be a very cruel place.
Most of the kids are not around anymore, they preparing for something they have been waiting for more than a month: a football match against us!
These kids have amazing skills, even with flip flops they have a good ball touch, and we get trashed 7-1 (we had only 4 guys in the team, the rest was girls!!!)






We leave Moshi for Marangu, on the foothills of Mt Kilimajaro. Marangu is amazing, very green and beautiful, nothing like we saw so far. It' a much richer area of Tanzania, they live mainly from tourism, they are all guides or porters.

1 am : Emma loves this time to express herself in the most bizarre behaviours.

How well! Thank you Cyril! But true!

I am going to avoid giving you to much details this time...! Let's just say that I experienced that night, all that a foreigner has to experience going and eating bad food in Africa. You just try to survive a night evacuating from devant and derrière!!!
