Hiking in Lushoto

---

We decided to hire a guide for the following day, as we didn’t want to have to rely on the manual again and there are no way markings anywhere. After breakfast we met Francis, a tiny 70 year old man, who was going to be our guide. Despite his age and small statue, he was like mountain goat, climbing faster than any of us young ones. The scenery was breathtakingly beautiful, we hiked through the Magamba rain forest up to Hakwelwa viewpoint (1850m), where we had a nice picnic lunch with amazing views. In the afternoon we drove to another village, Kwefingo, and went up to Kiwuga Peak (2050m), with a very different setting - walking through banana plantations.
