Sunday Drive...Tanzania Style

Last weekend we were blessed to be able to travel with some friends to Mikumi National Park.  The park is about 4-5 hours from where we live in Dar.  The main road actually runs through the park, and often you can see animals just off the side of the road.  Driving through the park itself, we had an excellant guide who really had an eye for spotting animals off the path.  If it hadn't been for him, we would have missed the lions, leopard, and lizard.

The giraffes really seemed to like to pose.

We saw this guy before we even entered the park.

I love these baobab trees that are all over Tanzania!

There were many elephants throughout the park, we even saw some babies.

One of the highlights for me...you can't even see the smallest cub hiding behind the mother in the center!
