Tarangire National Park
As it said on one of the signs for the camp we stayed at, "awesome views" from our tent. Working on getting hydrated for the climb, but drinking lots of water can be a bit of an issue out on safari, as getting out of the car to answer the call of nature is a serious health hazard! Got woken up a few times during the night by lions - very loud and very close to our tent. Nothing like deadly animals in the vicinity to get your heart going! And woken ...
Back on the road

From exiting the park it took us only 2 hours driving to 'Discover the Source of the Nile' and arrive at Lake Victoria, a journey that took the great man years of trekking and ultimately cost him his life before ever reaching this point (Try using a Defender David.........must have had a ...

I looked up at one point to see the pilot hunched over, but he was just reading. It was actually amazing how ...
Hakuna Matata
... suprisingly they were all so skinny and lanky. One of the massai showing us around was particularly keen on Sarah, staring at her and totally ignoring me in conversation. They practice polygamy so I tried to at least get a couple of cows out of her. We also got to participate in traditional dancing (pretty much jumping as high as you can while chanting).
In my opinion, five days was the perfect length of time for a safari. We got to see three parks and ...
