We returned from our 5 day safari yesterday and we’re still reeling from how amazing it was! We visited Tarangire National Park and Lake Manyara on days 1 and 2. Where Tarangire was all savannah, very dry and vast, Lake Manyara was lush and green. At Tarangire we saw elephants, giraffes, zebra’s and lion’s close up and also witnessed a herd of wildebeest running towards a watering hole. Also at one point our driver, Bariki, drove us into a family of elephants which was great but a bit scary when the mummy elephant started flapping her ears and trumpeting at us!
When we got back to Moshi (foothills of Kilimanjaro), we took a guide to Marangu wich is at the gate to the national park of Kilimanjaro and where your trek up the mountain begins. We walked around the town and visited some Chagga caves (Chagga is the local tribe) and some beautiful waterfalls with another couple from S. Africa and Scotland. Really like the north of Tanzania but its really expensive - Martin will have to get the credit card out before long…
