Shortcuts Tanzania - Arusha National Park

In January 2020 I visited Tanzania in a guided tour. I rented a Toyota Landcruiser and two experienced local guides to travel to several National Parks in Tanzania, like Arusha NP, the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. This was the first time I was not driving myself, in contrast to my other Africa travels. I expected to be in Tanzania in a pretty good time in a shoulder season, well before the start of the rainy season, which usually starts end of February. But this time was different. Tanzania got a lot of rain already in early January, and during my visit conditions got much worse. Many streets were flooded, houses and hotels were under water - and the National Parks and Conservation Areas like Serengeti, Ndutu and Ngorongoro Crater were badly affected as well.
Many tracks were filled with deep and greasy mud or flooded with water. Cars were stuck in mud or water. Just a few days later in early February the local tour operators stopped to bring visitors down to the Ngorongoro crater floor as conditions got too bad.

Luckily, we were traveling with probably the most reliable car in the world: the Toyota Landcruiser GRJ7 Series. This legendary car is the workhorse in East Africa - build like a tank. With hardly any electronics on board it is well maintainable in the African bush.

In this short video I compiled the footage of of my Canon C200 and EOS R taken in the Arusha National Park to the foot of Mt. Meru, near the city of Arusha.
