July 17, 2008 – Huffines are on Safari

Our safari vehicle

Jambo! Yesterday we experienced our first safari in Tarangire National Park in Tanzania. This park was established in the 1970’s and is a sanctuary for many different animals. Some of our favourites include; Giraffe, Baboons, Zebra, Impala and Elephants. The elephants, unlike the other animals, came extremely close to our vehicles, a family walked between our vehicles and at times we thought they were going to charge.

We continue our quest for the big 5; Elephants, Lions, Leopards, Rhino and Cape Buffalo. We hope to see many of these animals at the same park tomorrow.
