Was für eine Nacht. Nach dem köstlichen Abendessen gehen wir ins Bett. Der Wind hat während des Essens aufgefrischt. So sehr, dass sich unsere Suppe teilweise verselbstständigt hat. Im Zelt angekommen kommen kurze Zweifel auf, ob es den Sturmböen standhält, aber klar keine Sorge. Der Wind wird richtig wild. Im Zelt dementsprechend laut und zu unserer Überraschung: sandig. Naja wir sind hier ja auch gefühlt in der Wüste. Das der Wind Sand mit sich bringt ist eigentlich keine Überraschung. Lena ist so geistesgegenwärtig und schließt unsere Koffer um bringt die wichtigen Habseligkeiten in Sicherheit. Am nächsten Morgen ist nach wenig Schlaf alles mit Sand bedeckt. Also alles: Böden, Zahnbürsten, Klobrille, Klamotten.
Egal: wir starten um 6:30 mit einem Kaffee. Es geht nochmal raus zu den Flamingos. Nach dem Ausflug erstmal Frühstück.
Danach Ausflug zu den Wasserfällen. Keine Ahnung wo es in einer so gottverdammten Gegend Wasserfälle geben soll, aber ok.
Die Wanderung führt durch hüfttiefes Wasser und dauert 30 Minuten. Wir finden uns in einer Oase wieder und gehen baden. Gemeinsam mit unserem Guide Samu genießen wir das frischwasser bei über 32 Grad. Pünktlich zum lunch sind wir zurück. Danach haben wir ein paar Stunden frei. Die nutzen wir für Podcasts und ein Mittagsschläfchen, umgeben von Zebras, Gnus und ein paar Flamingos.🦩
Ab frühen Abend geht es auf Spurensuche der ersten Menschen. Hier gibt es Abdrücke die über 120.000 Jahre als sind. Danach wartet eine Überraschung auf uns. Unser Guide und Samu haben eine Sundowner für uns vorbereitet. Auf einer Sanddüne mitten in nirgendwo genießen wir mit Samosas und Sekt den Sonnenuntergang. Nur wir und die Natur. Ein Moment der uns lang im Gedächtnis bleiben wird. Tansania ist einfach zu gut zu uns. Wir sind richtig angekommen, im Herzen Afrikas. Hakuna MatataRead more

Squeezing between Mt. Kitumbeine and old volcano Gelai I slowly descend into the East African Rift Valley where the Ngorongoro caldera builds up in front of me with the face of Ol Doinyo Lengai, the holy Maasai mountain! This active volcano is the world’s only producing natrocarbonatite lava. Don’t know what this means (Wikipedia knows) but it sounds pretty scientific and in some way I am part of it! :-P Grey soil is dominating the landscape due to the unique volcanic mineral structure. A small Maasai village pops up, surrounded by thorny branches as protection against lions and white invaders. The bushy vegetation vanishes and gives space to more of this thick, juicy grass and lower shrubs. Hazy hills – all having been small volcanos once – appear behind the next elevation and this is how I ride into the dusk. No human beings around for hours.
I turned south by now, paralleling the caldera and the further I progress the more mysterious the scenery gets! Black dots appear in far distance on the endless grassscape. I come closer. Wildebeests! Zebras! Giraffes! Thomson’s gazelles! All around the place! Whaaaat the heck? Whoever told you that you have to enter Serengeti National Park to see some of the famous wildlife migration didn’t tell you that, obviously, some of these beasts will probably migrate out of the national park at one point. Here we are. I find a hideout for the night under an acacia tree between the gravel road and a dry river bed, just under Mt. Kerimasi. My inner self is pretty satisfied, let’s call it “the turn of the tide”.Read more

Der heutige Upload ist erstmal ohne Bilder. Die werden nachgeliefert, sobald es die Internet Verbindung zulässt.
Unser Tag startet mit einem entspannten Frühstück. Wir checken anschließend wieder aus und um 9 Uhr wartet unser Fahrer auf uns. Unser heutige Vormittag ist dem Transfer gewidmet. Die Fahrt geht erstmal ganz entspannt dahin. Wir machen bei zwei „zufällig“ auf dem Weg liegenden Souvenirs-Shops halt und bestaunen Figürchen und Figuren, Masken und Kaffee. Enuk verspricht uns aber: das sind die einzigen! Schau ma mal.
Es geht die erste Stunde auf gut asphaltierter Straße gegen Norden. Wir biegen einmal recht ab und der Schotter beginnt. Aber hier sind es noch 100km Busch-Weg oder „African Massage“, wie die Einheimischen das hier nennen, für uns. Zunächst scheppern wir mit 70 Sachen über eine Straße die wir mit Max 30 bewältigen würden und machen gut Strecke. Im absoluten Niemandsland passieren wir zwei Dörfer und unzählige Massai Stammesmänner mit Ziegen und Kühen. Nach 2/3 des Weges ändert sich das Bild. Straße wäre ein zu großes Wort für das, auf dem wir uns hier bewegen. Wir haben Sizilien und Cuba hinter uns, aber das hier ist das schlechteste Stück „befahrbarer Weg“ den wir je erlebt haben. Unser LandCruiser muss zwischenzeitlich auf Schritttempo abbremsen um die Steigungen, verdörrten Flussbetten und Verschränkungen zu überwinden. Alles andere als ein richtiger Offroader hat hier keine Chance. Denken wir uns. Bis uns ein LKW entgegenkommt. Meiner Meinung hängt der da immer noch irgendwo fest.
Aber wir überstehen die abenteuerliche Fahrt und kommen in unseren neuen Unterkunft an. Zum ersten Mal für zwei Nächte. Das ist jetzt ein richtiges tented Camp. Wir haben unser eigenes Zelt mit einer Art Bad und Chemie WC. Es macht aber alles einen super soliden und vor allem sauberen Eindruck. Wir befinden uns am südlichen Ende des Lake Natron. Und direkt (keine 10 Meter) vor unserer Veranda grasen Gnus und Zebras. Der See ist hauptsächlich für seine Flamingos bekannt, die wir in der Ferne sehen können. Am Nachmittag machen wir noch eine geführte Wanderung an den Rand des Wassers (das aufgrund der aktuellen Trockenheit weit zurück gegangen ist) und schauen uns die Vögel an. Es sind tausende. Beeindruckend. Mehr fällt einem hierzu nicht ein. Wir verweilen etwas und machen uns auf den Rückweg zum duschen. Hier hatte es heute 35 grad und wenig Schatten. Auf dem Weg taucht plötzlich und erneut sehr zufällig eine Gruppe Massai-Frauen auf, die uns ihren Schmuck anbieten. Die hat unser Guide ganz heimlich angerufen. Hier wären Touristen, die sicher noch etwas Geld übrig haben. Wir sagen höflich danke aber kaufen nichts. Nach uns sind noch ein paar andere Gruppen zum See gegangen. Die werden mit Sicherheit die gleiche zufällige Begegnung haben wir wir. Tüchtige Geschäftsleute.
Genug für heute. Ab zum Abendessen im Beduinenzelt bei kräftigem Wind und dann früh ins Bett. Es ist mittlerweile so dunkel geworden, dass man die Hand vor Augen nicht mehr sieht. Morgen geht es um 6:30 wieder los.Read more
