Tanzania

We have returned from a remarkable tour to Tanzania. Eight of us took the Kenya Air flight to Kenya with transit in Nairobi to Arusha. 

Well I say 8 - with one couple not realising that we had to be at the airport on Friday night to leave in the early hours of Saturday.  No wonder I don't do gym!

Once everyone was settled we arrived in Arusha to be met by David and Eluid who would be out drivers and guides for the following days.

What a time we had - from Lake Manyara to Serengeti [where grasslands cover horizon to horizon and where we did see the wildebeest migration begin going back into the Mara.

We had great sightings of leopard - so close that one of our passengers cold almost touch her.

Photography was challenging, but David captured some wonderful images.

We are now in the final stages of the Masai Mara planning with George of custom safaris and Shiko of andBeyond. Another wonderful adventure awaits.
