Itinerary description
Second day of the Lushoto - Mtae hike. The route has been done without a guide.
We have started the track in Lukosi, where we ended the last day. There a several places to have breakfast. The track starts right in front of a popular local place where they serve tasty Chai-milk, chapati, soup and some other things.
The track goes by very easy and well preserved paths. Only a couple of little peaks are on the route. In case it's raining, they might be a little bit slippery.
The hike passes through many rural houses and crops. You'll find tons of children and friendly on the way. Also, during the way you might fins a few small shops and places to get a snack if needed.
Before getting to Rangwi town, you'll pass next to the Christian Sister's Convent, where you'll find accommodation. The price is 30.000Tsh per person.
We opted for a local guesthouse in Rangwi, just 5-10 minutes by walk from the Convent. The place is located right in the end of the track, and they offer very very very simple rooms for 5000-7000Tsh. The place is very simple, just according to its price.
