SAFARI

Matt and I went on a safari this weekend to some of the prettiest places on earth! It was breathtaking....

Our Safari took us to Lake Manyara, the Serengeti, and the Ngorogoro Crater.

Last summer was so busy that we never got to camp as a married couple, so this was our first time! And what a way to start it off.....in the Serengeti!

Watching the sunrise in the Serengeti. Life doesn't get much better than this!

Camping on the rim of the Ngorogoro Crater. It was freezing!

Looking down on the Ngorogoro Crater.

Our cook made Spaghetti one night. I was so happy!

Meanwhile, in all these places, we saw hundreds and hundreds of animals. We felt like we were right in the middle of The Lion King! You name the animal, we saw it.....

RHINO

LION

BABOON

ZEBRA

GIRAFFE

MONKEY

OSTRICH

You can't really see it, but CROCODILE.

HYENA

ELEPHANT

WILDEBEEST and WARTHOG

There are so many other animals that we saw, but to upload more pictures of them to this blog with our slow internet modem here in Tanzania would take another FOREVER. But we also saw: HIPPO, CHEETAH, WATER BUFFALO, IMPALA, GAZELLE,  CRANE, STORK, JACKEL, VULTURE, PELICAN, LIZARD, FLAMINGO, VARIOUS LARGE AND SMALL BIRDS, etc. It was an amazing weekend trip!

Our Safari Truck

They drive on the right side of the car on the left side of the road. It is so strange.

I can't believe we are finally here in AFRICA! A dream finally come true!
