Safari Day

Today was safari day. We left the hotel around 6:15 and headed to Tarangeri Nation Park. It was about two hours away from Arusha.




(George with Sarah and Brian)




Once we got in the park, we saw a bunch of animals close up.

Elephants




Giraffes




Zebras (My favorite. They are so beautiful)




Wildebeests (One of the strangest looking animals I have ever seen)




Lots of birds






Warthogs




Cheetah


Monkeys





And a leopard! (This was extra special because they are difficult to see. There are a group of animals called the Big 5 that you want to see in a safari – Elephant, Lion, Rhino, Buffalo and a Leopard. On previous safaris I had never seen one. Now I have seen all 5.)


Safaris are a lot of fun. I enjoy just riding in the safari car and taking it all in.




We feel so blessed to have been able to join the team for this fun experience.

  1. Okay, the pictures are beautiful and so amazing that you were able to get that close but I have to say it...who goes on a Safari at 35 weeks pregnant?! My friend you should write a book about the adventures of Stacie and George. You will have some very cool stories to tell Eli. Some amazing stories of God's protection and guidance. WOW is all I can say! LOVE YOU!
