How to get here by road - From Arusha or Dar by road to Tanga (paved road - 4.5 hrs from Dar and 5.5hrs from Arusha). From Tanga, take Horohoro (Mombasa-Kenya) border road , for 40km, turn right and follow signs to FEP, 10km away. The road from Tanga is presently being upgraded to paved status - an occasion we have been expecting/praying for, for decades!! Buses ply all routes from all major centers including Mombasa. PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE SUFFICIENT FUEL FOR YOUR RETURN TO TANGA.
