Safari Day at Arusha National Park


We went out on a self-guided safari (well really we just followed our friend Charles in his car) on Sunday to Arusha National Park. David, Joey, Birch and Cole also went. It's only about 30 minutes away and so nice to have such a great resrouce so close. The kids loved it (as did Matt and I). We saw all sort of animals: giraffe, hippos, baboons, colobus monkeys (super cool b.c the have really long, fluffy tails that look like a skunks), buffalo, waterbuck, zebra, a chameleon, warthogs....I'm sure there's more. It was a driving adventure on total 4 wheel drive roads. Charles and his family have spent a lot of time in the parks, so he knew all the fun spots to go. We had several river crossings and some very steep roads. The weather was cool (needed long sleeves for most of the day), but it was great.
School starts tomorrow (Wed) - yeah!!!! And yes, our air shipment finally arrived. It was like Christmas all over again.
