Habari za safari? Nzuri sana!!

We just got home from our weekend safari and it was FABULOUS! We visited Lake Manyara National Park, Ngorongoro Crater/Conservation Area, and Tangierie National Park. Ngorongoro was incredibly and spectacularly FULL of animals...we saw all of the "Big Five" except for the leopard. It is amazing to view the animals in their natural habitat, and quite surreal to round a corner and see a herd of elephants or a group of giraffes just chillin'. We were in THEIR HOUSE! At one point there were several baboons on the truck and at lunch each day sneaky monkeys would jump into the vehicle to steal food. Today we were nearly charged by an angry elephant - all of us were freaking out and our guide was just laughing. It was one mad elephant and she sure seemed bigger than our truck!!! I took over 300 pictures but will have to wait unti I'm home to post them. An amazing and unforgettable weekend....

Just remember, no kibble in your pockets! Every moment, know you're doing a wonderful thing. Even if you just raise awareness, it's enough. Even if you only help one person, it's enough. Even if you only raise $1, it's enough.

Know that your contribution of "enough" is likely to raise awareness of hundreds, help scores, and find wayward funds.

Tremendous hugs, chud
