Stayed at Mbeya overnight on the way to Ruaha Reserve. There was a good vegetable market where we stocked up on food. Some local knowledge is necessary to know that an Avocado should be 2 1/2 pence and not an ‘extortionate’ 10 pence! ‘Mzungu’ (White person) prices persist, double it and then double it again! The ‘problem’ being that difference is small but we need to improve our bargaining skills!
Some thunder and heavy rain yesterday perhaps indicating the start of the short rains. But the rain didn’t last long.
