Usambara Mountains
December 2, 2011 — Tanzania
Locate on the map 
Falls on the road toward Lushoto.
The Usambara mountains are less visited and also not well known compared to the busy sites such as Kilimanjaro, Serengeti or Zanzibar. However, I found this place to be absolutely fantastic.
Villagers were very friendly and they (especially the kids) were quite curious. As soon as they were seeing me, they formed a small group just to see me.
Sometime, they were shouting « jambo » ('hi' in Swahili), from their houses a few hundred metres away from where I was standing.

This picture has been taken at the Irente viewpoint.
A few metres beyond the feet of this young Tanzanian, it is emptiness and a valley some 1500 metres below. No fence, no warning, only the scenery in all its glory...

The roads between villages were wonderful.
I was often stopping every few metres to take some pictures.
