Tanzania: February 2014: Day 4: Tarangire National Park

Tanzania

Another delicious breakfast at camp (special thanks to our cook!), a switch to a somwhat less broken Land Cruiser (keyword: somewhat... not too pleased with One World!), and then off to the last day of safari at Tarangire National Park.

Another dik-dik sighting to start the morning, then the first of not quite a dozen giraffes! Multiple herds of impalas, zebras, and elephants as well. Tons of baby elephants throughout the park, warthogs and hyenas, even a few banded mongoose, and just for kicks, a vervet monkey raided our Land Cruiser for snacks at lunchtime.

Kavya persuaded the driver to spend an extra hour in the park at the end of the day, which paid off handsomely-- we got to see a pair of cheetahs! Definitely a great way to finish off the safari, having seen 4 of the big 5: elephant, black rhino, lion, and buffalo-- we'd only missed the leopard, which are hard as heck to spot!
