Blues Arrive In Tanzania

Everton have arrived in Tanzania ahead of their pre-season friendly with Gor Mahia on Thursday.

The Blues travelled directly from Liverpool John Moore’s airport and touched down around 10am local time.

The players arrived at the hotel to be welcomed by a Maasai tribe, with plenty of locals there to greet the Blues as well. Leighton Baines says the players are excited to experience what Tanzania has to offer over the next few days.

"We received a very warm welcome,” he said. “It is very interesting for us as the Maasai welcome is not something we see at home.
