We were in 4 countries in 24 hours and a quick stop in Zanzibar in order to get to Tanzania, but we made it. Much more modern than the Asian countries, and much more expensive.
The only real noteworthy thing we did with our week there was go on an awesome two day safari near the Serengeti. We went to Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarengeri National Park which were both beautiful.
We saw (up close) tons of animals including zebra, giraffe, leopard, elephant, lions!, baboons, waterbuck, hyena, hippo, etc. etc. It’s amazing how close you can get to the animals (in a truck) without them being afraid. What a great experience!
Big ole' fat baobab trees (with a giraffe!)
Hyenas with flamingos in the background.
Lots of hippos submersed in the water with a bunch of white egrets.
This bull got pissed off and was starting to charge our jeep!
So close we got. This guy is eating the bark.
It was dry season so many animals were having a hard time finding water. All these animals are together here because of the water.
Horrible photo but that's a jaguar up in the tree!
Some sort of giant bird in a giant next up in the trees.
We ended up with our own private truck and driver.
Wildebeest and flamingos.
Wildebeest migration - wow!
We saw tons of zebras.
We kept wondering if they feed the lions so that the tourist get to see them. Either way, pretty cool.
