It is reassuring to be back on the Mainland or at least to the wallet.
Tanga is a laid back town with a small market and cheap accommodation and restaurant prices. There is not much to keep a travellist here but does offer some good food options.
The Food Palace offers good quality curries and kebabs for Tsh5,000. Patwas offers fresh fruit juices (from Tsh1,000), lassis from Tsh2,000, snacks from Tsh1,600 and mains from Tsh5,000.Next door to Patwas is Rusharoho’s Swahili fusion restaurant with mains from Tsh5,000 – Tsh6,000.
For a caffeine fix you can do worse than the Cafe Espresso coffee shop. Their samosas are pretty tasty too.
I’m installed at New Upands Hotel with rooms with net and fan for Tsh10,000, but the water supply is erratic.
From Tanga i am heading to Moshi close to Mount Kilimanjaro. With costs over US$800 to climb the Africa’s highest peak, i am just going to take a few photos before continuing towards the Serengeti.
