Just finished with our first day of safai at the Tarangire Game Reserve and we're staying at the Taragire Sopa Lodge at the park. Amazing day! Saw lots of elephants, giraffes, impala, warthogs. Also a few ostriches, dik-diks, and the highlight at the end of the day- two lions snoozing very close to the road. As I'm writing there are some monkeys and hyrax (small rodents) running around just before sunset.
The monkeys are very agressive - one stole a bit of Paula's lunch at a picnic area! We viewed all the wildlife from a open roof Land Rover- took many pictures. Picked up a few souveniers along the way- some tingatinga art and such. Also saw many Maasai and their herds of cattle on the way from Arusha. Still very hot and dry here. Can't believe the trip is almost over! We'll get up at 6 am and go another safari when it's cooler, and then leave for Arusha and go the Heifer International offices, and then head for Kilimanjaro airport.
