Maybe you didn’t realised it but we feel as if we travel, as if we breath again since we landed at Dar es Salaam last Monday. We met our beloved friend Costas Coucoulis here and all his staff at the HQ of Saadani Safari Lodge.
On Tuesday we joined Mark Evans, the General Manager of Saadani Lodges and drove together to Saadani River Lodge, 110 km. north of Dar. It was a nice drive after Bagamoyo, a former slave trade center and fishing village today and a tricky one at the last section towards the lodge, which is built in the pristine jungle of Wami river.
This is a fabulous place which we are honoured to run with Vula as soon as it gets inaugurated, hopefully in the next month. We stayed three nights there in one of the hi end cottages overlooking the river and took an idea of the huge effort to create a lodge in this remote heaven of Africa.
We already feel excited and stressed with our new job. Our people here welcomed us in the best possible way, so hard work is the only way to please them for the trust they show to us. One of the most inspired, exciting lodges in all Africa is created here and we are already part of a great team that worked for a year or so.
A success story is in front of us, which means a great effort for both of us but the opportunity to live in the African bush is the best reward. We will keep updating the site from time to time till the new “theworldoffroad” will be inaugurated. Vertigo Studio works on the phase II of our site in Greece, so stay tuned folks!_A.Temperidis
