Day 4 – Trip to Ilula to visit the IOP

Blogging from my mobile phone… (later updated from LapTop)

This morning we are heading for Ilula.

Transport by NCA who is sponsoring the construction of houses with integrated water harvesting solutions at the Ilula Orphant Project (See also separate page for IOP supporters).

The 8 hour Journey was in itself a valuable experience for me. To see with own eyes how business/industry changes as we move out of the city.

We also passed through the Mikumi National Park (the smallest one in Tz). Just as we saw the fist elephant, my mobile (camera) died. Flat battery. Managed to catch a giraffe, though. See it?

Team in the car was Einar Gjernes, Pablo Paez, myself and Three NCA reps. (Goodluck, Francis and the driver)

Arrived IOP after dark, but not too late to get a warm welcome:
