Tarangire

A male impala.
Baboon with her young baby.

Road block! Baboons everywhere.
We almost passed by this elephant because it was hiding
behind a large bush. He was not too happy to see us and trumpeted.
at us.
Following the trumpet, he almost charged us which was
really cool and quite scary at the same time. It allowed for
this really close shot though!
While we were hunting for simba Charlie decided to turn around.
Obviously that didn't work out so well for them...they got stuck!
And there were some angry elephant not too far away. Lucky for
them our rover came to the rescue and pushed them out. Daudi actually
did all the work but Sarah, Tommy, and myself were cheering him on!

This was a really fun safari! Over our three days we stayed at the Ngorogoro Sopa Lodge which was absolutely incredible. The showers there were amazing! Best shower I've ever had in Tanzania, hands down! We also spent a night at the Tarangire Safari Lodge which is always an experience because we stay in bandas. Basically it's a delux tent with a bathroom attached. Our group of 7 had a fun, relaxing few days though and enjoyed the company of each other and our new friends Charlie and Daudi!
