Lake Manyara.

2009.01.01
Mt. Meru.

Arusha Santa.

Omg, it's a wild ca-- ! Oh, you just want some of my chicken, don't you?

Wild drive-by shot of Maasai and cattle.

A real cow town.

Woohoo! Flush toilet!

VERY fast baboon, about 2 feet from me. Wow, we were all really startled. Didn't know if they were people-aggressive or not as 2 of them came thundering out of the underbrush at us at the visitor's center. Turns out they were just having a territorial dispute, whew!

Fascinating stones along the path. Need to show pics to someone who knows rocks. How were they formed?

Closeup of one of the stones, held by Sean.

OMG, SAUSAGE TREE! Is there a bacon tree, too?!?!

Have to double check, but think this is a blue monkey.

Warthog!

Holy crap, it's a real, live giraffe!


OMGAGAIN! A young, male elephant -- right next to the road! Ignored us, didn't care, kept eating, WOW!


Hippo pool!

A strange and beautiful sculpture made of giraffes!

Running giraffe!

Ostrich mit bebes!

Zebrazebrazebra!

Need to check, but believe these are impala. Much nicer than the Chevy.

If you look closely, there is a pink horizontal line in the center of the pic -- it's made of flamingos!

Woohoo, sausage tree! Baboons can eat the fruit, humans can use it for medicine. Alas, not an accompaniment to ostrich egg omelette!

Ah, Lake Manyara!

Dario relaxes on our HUGE triple king sized bed at the Highview Hotel after a hard day of safari-ing. Tomorrow? Serengeti!

kathi Incredible sites and photos! I wish I had been there. Why is Dario on OUR triple king sized bed? Is he your boyfriend? Or does everyone from the tour share the bed?
