Some safari pictures

Okay, these aren't the greatest because they're from my phone, but here's just a little sampling of the safari!

Here's the big Land Cruiser and our driver, Eli. He was super amazing and knew a lot about the park and the animals. 

There's an elephant back there, but I don't think you can see it 

Zebras!

I felt a little like I was in Jurassic Park

This is a view of the crater 

Monkeys! But again, hard to see with this camera 

So. Many. Baboons. 

View of Mount Meru

We got so close to giraffes!!

Flamingoes!!! 

Right when I was taking this picture the car started to roll forward toward the lake. I calmly said "um excuse me Eli but the car seems to be rolling away" which he thought was pretty funny. Probably not if the car went in the lake, but we luckily avoided that :)

Our on-foot ranger. Sort of an odd fellow... Walked very slowly and kept giving us quizzes about animals and trees which we obviously knew nothing about... Which is why we were on the safari in the first place.. 

Acacia tree

Mount Kilimanjaro 

Mount Kilimanjaro again. For John Wayne fans- this is where Hatari was filmed 

All in all we had a really fun day and got to see and experience a lot of new things! We leave for Zanzibar tomorrow evening! We have a private room at our next hostel and we may have a chance to eat at this restaurant that's on a rock in the middle of the ocean. Pretty cool!
