Safari

As a true mzungu in Africa I, of course, had to go on a safari to take a look at the amazing wildlife.
So while back in Tanzania I met up with the Danish girls and we set out for 3 days of watching wild animals in their natural habitat... from the convenient safety of a safari vehicle, of course.


Day One: Tarangire National Park

Zebras.

Getting up close with the elephants.

As we were on the way to our camp after leaving the park we passed a giraffe hanging out by the the road.


Day Two: Ngorongoro Conservational Area

Beautiful view on the way to the Ngorongoro Crater which is an old volcanic crater surrounded by mountains and a couple of still active volcanoes. Since this is a conservational area - as opposed to a national park - the Maasai are allowed to live and graze their cattle here.

The Ngorongoro was full of animals. Mostly gazelles, wildebeest and zebras.

More zebras with hippos in the background.

Buffalo.

Lioness.

The girls.

Amazing view of the crater from above.


Day Three: Lake Manyara National Park

Baboons cleaning each others fur.

Giraffes.

Hippos.

Zebras rolling in the sand while uncle wildebeest watches.
