We were up before the sun at Lokisale, our tented hotel in the outback of Tarangire.  It was wonderful to sip coffee as the baobab trees took shape with the rising sun.  Some heard a lion passing near to camp.  The great staff put out a fine and fast breakfast for us and then we said goodbye and hopped into the Landcruisers for one final morning of safari.  We cruised the “swamp” -a vast expanse of grass- with no other cars around.  There were herds of zebra and elephant, wildebeest and Cape buffalo stretching for miles and miles. Eventually, Saiman and Izach pointed our vehicles toward the distant park entrance, but on the way, we saw the good stuff… a leopard climbing a tree, a lion hunting, hyenas crunching the bones of a kill… some final scenes to sustain us during endless airplane travel homeward. 

It was a few more hours back to Rivertrees Inn, and then showers and packing for travel.  We had time for a last dinner together out under the big trees, and then we were headed to the airport and a million lines and our goodbyes to each other. 

It has been a fine two weeks of seeing the world together.  Thanks for following along.
