Hello one last time everyone!
Today the team headed to Tarangire National Park know for its abundant animals and plentiful elephants, and it didn’t disappoint. Not sure how many elephants we saw, probably several hundred, possibly more than a thousand. It wouldn’t seem like we could get tired of seeing elephants, but there were so many that eventually we had to keep driving so we could see other animals.
There were lots of giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, Cape buffalo, impalas, monkeys, ostriches, and many others, including 6-8 lions which was a highlight.
We are spending our last night here in Africa at Nyikani Camp, which has beautiful tented rooms with screen windows to allow the sounds of the African night in. If you’ve ever heard the term “Glamping” that’s exactly what we are doing.
Everyone is doing great and we hope to catch a sighting of a few more cats on our way out tomorrow. Then we will head back to our main lodge near Arusha for a quick shower before catching our evening flights home.
I asked everyone for a single word that would best summarize their experience for this trip.
So in no particular order here are our words.
Overcome
WOW
Perseverance
Transformative
Humbling
Determined
Indomitable
Connection
Fulfilling
Simple
Transcendent
Come join us for an adventure sometime!
