  1. Nice video. You should have gone to Soni, then a short way to Maweni farm once owned by von Lettow-vorbeck, Commander Shutztruppe WW1. High above is the "Rock", about 1000ft straight up. Behind, a 'lost valley', primeval jungle – big buttress trees; lianas; columns of nasty siafu ants. Stunning! Probably logged now. "Kwamungu" ("To God") mountain nearby with the graves of the Kings of the Wa-samba, shrouded in cloud like heaven. Kwa heri, sasa!

  2. Thank you for your blog!!! Its amazing which hidden special places you have discovered in Tanzania- thank you so much for sharing <3 I really celebrate that you have done this trip from Lushoto to Mtae by your own. Every guide tells you its impossible to find the trail. Next time I will do it 🙂

  3. I visited Lushoto a few months ago. The views are breathtakingly beautiful and I enjoyed the cool temperatures also. Thanks for sharing such an incredible video! Safari njema!

  4. I grew up in Lushoto and despite living in Arusha for sometime, Lushoto still holds a special place in my heart. Such a beautiful and peaceful place. I am glad you enjoyed your stay! Great video,man.

  5. Can I just say, it was true joy to follow along on this adventure with you, Jackson. I so thoroughly enjoyed immersing in your Instagram stories. It almost felt like I was right there with you. I actually got quite emotional. I thought, now this is living. This is what life is about. That video of the kids on top of the mountain being comedic posers with the rainbow in the background and the subset in the distance… Magical, truly magical. Your anecdotes and uncontainable spirit are a joy to witness. Exploring the beauty of Tanzania like that must have been a one of a kind experience, and I highly commend you on your physical endurance, as well as your awesome skill with a drone and a camera (that shot at 0:25 is especially breathtaking). Keep it coming Jackson and don't ever lose your adventurous spirit!

    Sincerely, a happy follower and fellow Adelaide-ian 😉

They range the field and rove the flood, and they climb the mountain's crest; theirs is the curse of the gypsy blood, and they don't know how to rest." Jackson, you are a gypsy, I'm a gypsy. Epic video! Cheers, Domenico.
