I just got back from my safari and it was AMAZING! I'm pretty sure we sang the entire soundtrack to The Lion King from start to finish. I was surprised at how easy it is to find the animals and that they are totally used to the big "animals" that drive around and make a lot of noise.
We saw just about every animal and got into a few interesting situations...Don't worry nothing dangerous... There was a fresh wildebeast kill by the side of the road with a lion in a post-lunch coma and we watched two lionesses stalk a herd of wildebeast, hoping for a snack. Sadly, they spooked the herd and there was no kill.
The three parks are all incredibly beautiful in their own ways. Tarangire is full of foothills with winding roads and animals around every corner, while the Serengeti is vast and beautiful with unique architecture of trees and watering holes, and Ngorongoro is a giant crater that is beautiful from above and below and has the best of both worlds with its lush jungle and wide open plains. Camping was quite interesting since our last night had a few uninvited guests... hyenas and wild boards invaded our campground. I stayed put until they were long gone and got up to see the African sky at night. Sunrise was pretty impressive as well. I saw the sun rise over the Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater. I will post more pictures later, but I wanted you to get a taste of wild Africa.
