From the mountains to SAFARI!

I'll have to make this quick as our internet at the Safari Lodge is extremely spotty!

2 nights ago, we spent the night at the Irente Cliff View Lodge! It has amazing scenery overlooking the Usumbara Mountains. The young girls and I took a 2 hour hike with a guide named Joseph. He took us all over the mountains, up and down, and all around! We got to see some of the most breath taking views and even met some kids that had caught a monkey and had it on a leash! The little stinkers wouldn't let us capture a picture unless we paid!!!

We then enjoyed a meal and headed to bed for our early morning 6 hour drive towards Arusha and then it was on to Safari.

After stopping in Arusha for some snacks, money exchange, and phone minutes we made the 2 hour drive towards Taragire National Park. So far we have seen giraffes (twigas) zebra (punda milia) wart hogs, ostrich, water buff, wildebeest, and up close and personal LIONS (simba)!!!!! Today we are headed out for an early morning jaunt around Taragire and then heading off towards Boganvilla Resort after our box lunches :)

Picture are to come as soon as we have some good internet connection!
Stay tuned!
Badiah (BYE)
