Safari

Going back in time a little....  After a fun-filled couple weeks with my family, we were blessed by a visit in March from Brett's mom and Aunt Carol.  They flew into the Kilimanjaro Airport so we drove to Arusha to pick them up.  On our drive back to Geita, we swung threw the Ngorogoro crater and the Serengeti.  I say that as if it were the same as going to Sonic for a cherry-limeade on the way home (can't say I'd turn down a cherry-limeade right now).  We actually camped for a few nights right in the middle of the park.  We slept listening to hyenas around us.   Not dangerous at all, I assure you.

We saw a lot of animals, especially in the crater.  We were so close to lions we could have been snuggling with them.  The only things we didn't get to see that we really wanted to were rhino, leopard, and cheetah.  People kept giving us directions to where we could see said animals, but alas, only more wildebeest and zebra.  It was a fun trip; not just to see the animals, but to get to spend time in the car with family.  I've also never seen a hippo so far from water.
