Ok, let’s get a little visual again. Over the past month or so, my Instagram gallery has taken my followers on a journey through Lake Mburo National Park in western Uganda; eating and socializing in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania; and on a road trip to the ruins of the ancient sultanate of Kilwa, off the southern coast of mainland Tanzania, crossing the Rufiji river which I had heard so much about but had never seen. With no further ado, here are some of my followers’ favorite pictures since my last Instagram roundup post. I hope you like them too!

Instagram Fave No. 20: The VIP Lounge at Julius Nyerere International Airport, Dar es Salaam

Do you ever use the VIP Lounge at Julius Nyerere International Airport when you travel from Dar es Salaam? I do sometimes (the first time being when I got a free VIP lounge voucher to use as I waited for a late night flight to Kinshasa—oh, the power of a smile! 😉 ). But increasingly, as the price of use goes up, internet costs in Tanzania go down, and their offerings become slimmer and slimmer, I am not so sure how good value it offers anymore. What do you think?

Instagram Fave No. 19: Sauti Sol Sings the Tanzanian National Anthem

When @Sautisol played at Escape 1 in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, they performed a beautiful rendition of the Tanzanian national anthem. We, Tanzanians, were so stroked. It was a really nice touch. And when the crowd was thoroughly blown away they hit us with Lazizi. It was a high moment!

Instagram Fave No. 14: Nyama Choma (Grilled Meat) at Rudy’s Farm, Dar es Salaam

It may not look like much, but the taste on these plates is out of this world. My favorite place to have nyama choma (barbecued meat) in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, Rudy’s Farm makes the best BBQ sausages I’ve tasted in the country! The pork chops are as delicious as any grilled pork you’d get in Kampala, Uganda. And the grilled chicken is worth the drive too. To cut all the grease, they serve this with fresh chili peppers floating in vinegar. My gosh, is it good! Happy Sunday!

Instagram Fave No. 13: High Spirit Lounge Bar, Dar es Salaam

And when the sun sets and it begins to get dark, the whole bar lights up. Really gorgeous place!

Instagram Fave No. 9: Lake Mburo, Uganda

The lakes of southwestern Uganda/western Rwanda share a similar quality. I don’t know what it is. Maybe it has something to do with their always being surrounded by hills. This could be Lake Kivu, Bunyonyi, or Mburo. Which is it? I’ll take you out of your misery: it’s Lake Mburo not far from Mbarara, Uganda.
