6 day Safari in Tanzania. Day 1-3

We just finished our 6 day safari. It was a crazy week. We were picked up on the first day by our safari guide Jolis and our cook Yusa. We had our own land rover which we pack a few changes of clothing into and everything we figured we'd need for 6 days tenting. We couldn't take much as we also needed all the tenting equipment and food along to. 

We drove for about 4 hours to our first stop Tarangire national park. We spent the day in the protected park in search of the large herds of elephants and Africa's Baobab trees. It didn't take long till we spotted our first herd of elephants. There were babies and many adults elephants. Watching a herd of elephants does not get old.

We also loved seeing all the rest of the animals. 

Our driver was amazing, he took care of everything we needed the whole 6 days helped spot the wildlife in between. 

That evening, we headed back to the campsite where we would spend the next 2 nights. The Twiga campsite had hot water and electricity. Little did we know that we would not have that luxury in the following days.

The next day we started at 6:30 am with a hot breakfast cooked by Yusa. He made amazing meals with very little supplies. We ate crepes, toast, eggs, sausage, fruit, tea and coffee most mornings. 

We ate very well.

The second day we left for Manyara national park. This park is know for its tree climbing lions. We were so excited to see the first lion. It was really far off in the trees and we zoomed in our cameras and thought that this might be the only lion we might see all week. Little did we know, but we ended up seeing 50 lions in 6 days! 

I was really looking forward to seeing giraffes. We saw so many! It was amazing!
