Jambo
We have returned safely from our Safari. We had an amazing time. NgoroNgoro crater was our first destination and it was really beautiful!
We saw lions with cubs, zebras, elephants, baboons, wildebeasts, hippos, cheetahs, giraffes among many others. We all took many photos! Most of the animals were less than 5m away from our safari vehicle. Our cooks for safari did a fantastic job keeping us fed - it was a real luxury.
We went shopping at the Massai markets, which proved to be an interesting experience. We have now had a bit of practise at haggling, but it still proves to be quite stressful. They have lots of stalls, although they all sell the same thing. There are many beautiful paintings and wood carvings.
The Tanzanian people are very friendly and generally helpful.
We are currently in Arusha for 3 nights, awaiting our trek to start. We have a beautiful view of Mt Meru from our hotel and are all very excited to begin climbing!
We hope everything in Australia is well!
