We celebrated our winter solstice on safari. Matt was out in the bush with some TNC folks last week, so we decided to meet up with him at the tail end of his trip for a weekend safari. We spent one night at Maramboi tented camp just outside of Tarangire National Park and then we splurged and spent a night at Tarangire Safari Lodge. Did you hear that Tanzania was rated best safari destination in Africa? Come visit us!
Watching the sunset at Maramboi
Some of the many animals that we saw: impala, elephant, lion (after a tasty zebra meal), baobab, giraffe, zebra, and a super cute rock hyrax.
Hanging out at Tarangire Safari Lodge. There was a stand-off between the boys and a pesky baboon after Matt chased it out of the boys’ tent. And later the kids had a stand-off with some vervet monkeys that were following them hoping for some of their dried fruit.
The views from the lodge top just about anyplace we’ve been. We watched a herd of elephant and about 300 buffalo come to the river to drink. At night we heard several animals including a lion. So great!
And I love this picture that Anderson drew of a giraffe with a wildebeest.
The best of friends!
Anderson is drawing like a big boy now...
