Last month, my sister and I traveled to Tanzania, visiting national parks in the Rift Valley and beaches on the Indian Ocean. Here are a few pictures from our journey.
Elephant dust bath at Manyara National Park
Giraffes and flamingos on the shore of Lake Manyara
Family fun, baboon style
Herds of wildebeests, seen from the descent into the Ngorongoro Crater
Zebra in Ngorongoro National Park
Water buffalo
Rhino!!
Let it be known. Ostrich have huge dino-legs.
Amazing…
Again
The view from the bottom of the Crater
Cheetah, one of my top three favorite animals as a child (Cheetah because of speed, Blue Whale because of size, and Mountain Goat because of awesome head-butting on PBS)
Warthogs–sweet mullet
Goodbye, Ngorongoro Crater
Goodbye, Lake Manyara
Stonetown, Zanzibar
Dhow (traditional Zanzibari boat) and Stonetown sunset
White beaches and coral rocks at Jambiani, Zanzibar
Captain Chicken leading us over crystal waters to coral reefs
Seaweed farming on tidal flats
And finally, goodbye Jambiani
