Safari

Hi all, apologies i don't have time to write much but just wanted to explain the pic on the right... I have been on a 2 day safari in Ngorogoro Crater and Lake Manyara, was amazing to be in such a beautiful area and see so many animals up close in their own environment - very different experience to seeing them in a zoo. We saw a black rhino (from a distance), lions (very very close - so close that one of the guys in the group nearly lost his arm when he stuck it out of the truck window!), elephants, lots of zebras, hippos, wildebeest, monkeys and baboons and birds.

Tomorrow I am going to Longido to start work, which I am very excited about - I will meet the homestay family and some of the school children. My kiswahili is coming along nicely, so I will be able to greet everyone which is a good start! It is winter in Tanzania at the moment, but the weather is what we would expect in england in late spring, so still nice and warm. Haven't needed my thermals yet!
