safari

there are elephants behind me

this is lake manyara national park. it was our first day of safari and the sun beat down on us like it was tanzania in the summer time... the shade provided by the 92' land cruiser we blasted thru the countryside in was not sufficient

there arent naturally camels in tanzania but this maasi man explained to us that they were given to his family as a gift from a british family who lives on some maasi land

a good spot to have lunch before the storm 

wildebeest crossing

going into ngorongoro crater on day 4. nothing but wild life down here

camping on the crater rim and waking up to a mist-laden crater below us

maasi women welcoming us to their village 

making new friends 

maasi warriors jump and grunt to display their strength to the maasi women 

maasi warriors running across the open ngorongoro to relieve the young boys that normally watch the cattle and donkeys as a massive african storm sets in

giraffes literally just chilling on the side of the road

dirty, wind burnt, tired but not wanting to leave a moment early
