Eric and I were lucky enough to get to go on an incredible 2 day safari in Tanzania! We went to Lake Manyara the first day and to the Ngorongoro Crater on the second day! We were blown away by the kinds of animals we got to see and the beauty of the landscape! It was AMAZING! We got to ride in the most hard-core jeep I've ever been in, with the top up so we could look around at everything! We felt like little kids and were having so much fun spotting animals and bouncing around in the back of the Jeep!
This is a view of the lake from our picnic spot! It was breathtaking! There were over 20 giraffes and zebra, wildabeast, and tons of other stuff! In the lake, there are hundreds of pink flamingos, but they are too far away to see in this picture! The lake is actually salt water and covers over 1/3 of the park. It's crazy how perfect of an environment this is for all these animals!
My FAVORITE!!! This one is for you Acadia!! We drove through a family of 5 giraffe and got to see them so closely. One was eating off of a tree and this one eventually ran away from us...which was really cool to see!
The zebras were way cooler than I thought they would be! Their coats are so crazy and amazing! When there are a lot standing next each other, it's like looking at a crazy rug!
Of course, we saw some amazing elephants! They were enormous...way bigger than the ones in Thailand! We saw two families of them, but this one was by far the most impressive! I wouldn't want to get too close to that tusk!
We saw a ton of baboon! They could care less about us and made us drive around them! They are stubborn, but pretty cool. We drove up on a tree of them fighting...that was a loud crazy experience.
Awww... look at the baby! I think baboons are weird looking, but the babies are cute! We had an amazing first day of our safari! We have many pictures and will try to put more up soon! ...Katie
