Episode 1: NAIROBI KENYA 🇰🇪 TO ARUSHA TANZANIA🇹🇿 BY ROAD//Nairobi - Arusha roadtrip 2024

[@allenmaa7064]

Thank you my Kenyan sister. Hongera! We need to create more people-to-people ties between our two nations. We enjoy one of the most peaceful borders in history actually, the kind that the USA has with Canada, two peoples that are cousins with destinies combined. 🇹🇿🇰🇪 Forever!

[@beckywanyonyi]

Absolutely. I totally agree. I enjoyed visiting Tanzania. Asante sana. Na Kiswahili chenu ni kizuri sana.

Thank You very much for sharing with us your amazing adventure ,my plan was to cycle from Nairobi to Mombasa and enter Tanzania via Lunga Lunga border,but unfortunately the coastal rd is very dangerous 😞,so now have to use the Namagna border .Cheers 🙂🙂

[@beckywanyonyi]

Wooow...now this is quite THE adventure. Approximately how long will it take you to cycle from Nairobi to Arusha? I hope you won't be cycling at night.

[@RobertMrki]

Thank you for the video. It helped me see the road condition when I was planning a drive to Arusha.

[@vita4017]

@@wakilikioko did you self drive there?

[@aurelienjoelondoaatangana712]

Tres belle aventure

[@beckywanyonyi]

Merci beacoup 😊

[@globallibran378]

In December 2020 i took this trip and i recall paying about $25. The exchange then was about 100 Kshilllings to $1US so I guess they retained the 2020 rate in Shillings otherwise an adjustment to todays exchange would be 4500 Kshillings. I wonder if they are still turning a profit at this cost. Beautiful drive and as you stated the Namanga border does slow the trip a lot for the border checks. A memorable trip which i hope to take again one day. Thanks for sharing!🎉

[@beckywanyonyi]

Thanks for watching. Perhaps it will also depend with your mode of booking. If you're booking through online apps, the rates tend to be slightly inflated. Just curious to know, did you use the normal 22 seater shuttles and how did you book it?

[@globallibran378]

@@beckywanyonyi hi Becky. Yes I took a very similar coaster bus and maybe from the same bus station in Nairobi. I booked online, and paid online too.

[@reagan7890]

Tz is beautiful

[@binodkhadka4991]

Thank you for this video. Is there another city in Kilimanjaro to stay for someone who wants to have small trek around Kilimanjaro mountain, or stay in Arusha?

[@samurai1234-d4t]

I like this,how much did t cost from Nairobi to Arusha

[@beckywanyonyi]

Thanks for watching. I paid KES 2,500 to travel from Nairobi to Arusha with a 22 seater shuttle. You can get the shuttles at the Junction of University way and Muindu Mbingu street in Nairobi city CBD

[@globallibran378]

Nice looking place ;Brightstar. Was it reasonably priced compared to Nairobi?

[@beckywanyonyi]

Considering that Arusha is a gateway to safari destinations and to Mt.Kilimanjaro, the locals are more tourist aware and prices are slightly high compared to Nairobi which is a huge city with numerous accommodation options i.e hotels, lodgings, airbnbs etc to suit your budget. So I'd say it's reasonably priced compared to other accommodation options within the Arusha area.

[@vita4017]

Thank you for your video. My partner and I are going to drive from nairobi to Arusha. It’s the roads ok to drive in December? It’s safe? Thank you 🙏

[@beckywanyonyi]

Hello. Thanks so much! The trip was smooth, with no security issues, but please note that I used public transport and we traveled during the day. The roads are excellent. I truly enjoyed the drive. Please take note of the time of travel, it's better to travel during the day, and please observe personal security measures.

[@selineadhiambo9028]

Which is the best hotel you can recommend in Tanzania then how will my passport be stamped if I have one please answer

[@beckywanyonyi]

Please check out Bright Star Hotel.

[@selineadhiambo9028]

Hey how much did you spend on total and for how many days please and did you change all the money at the boarder to TZ shilling

[@beckywanyonyi]

@@selineadhiambo9028 I'd suggest you change your money at the border. Please note the price range depending with season. I visited during high season hence prices were on the higher side.

[@sijisiji8100]

Hello Becky, for European travellers, can you get a visa at the border?

[@charlesmutunga6952]

Lunga Lunga border?

[@selineadhiambo9028]

And also how can I book hotel there like let’s say for 3 staying days

Which Hotel do you recommend for 1st timers

[@beckywanyonyi]

I recommend Bright Star Hotel. The hotel is near the CBD and easily accessible. The food is great and the staff are extremely helpful. Prices are also very reasonable. Instead of checking in through online apps, i suggest you call them directly for better prices

Yes. You need a yellow fever vaccination. You can get it from the border.

Tanzania has a lot of green cover compared to Kenya,we have destroyed all our forests

[@beckywanyonyi]

So true. Tanzania is sooo green and beautiful. I feel like the country is quite underrated.

You do realize a larger part of Kenya is the savannah so there aren't many trees in such vegetation , it's not always because of deforestation that's just how it is
