Lions and tigers and bears!!!

Okay, well no tigers or bears, but plenty of giraffe, elephants, zebra and baboons!!! As mentioned below, part of my delinquency in keeping my blog updated can be blamed on my 3 week trip to Africa this summer. After hiking Mt. Kilimanjaro we headed out on safari with Safari Images http://www.safari-images.com/ While not the most luxurious of companies, we definitely got our money's worth!! Tom, our guide for 4 days, was incredibly knowledgeable and we stayed in the same places as the other high-end companies for a MUCH lower price!! The trip was awesome and we saw the big-5! Couple pictures below:

First day in Ngorongoro Crater - this was the only time we were allowed out of the truck!

The lions have figured out how to use the caravans of tourists as "cover" to sneak up on herds...
smart kitties.

Meow...

Just pure awesome.

This was the only time our guide told us to still/quiet... we were SO close to the elephants!


Gorgeous cheetah right after she killed a gazelle.

Last night on safari at the Manyara Serena Lodge... the infinity pool overlooked the park below.

Wish we had more time to relax by the pool!!

Not your normal traffic stopper!

Happy travels!
