Tarangire

June 4
Tarangire Park- Elephants, baobab trees and the usual suspects. Our new critters were a wide variety of birds, banded mongoose, a tortoise I will have to look up- leopard tortoise.
Camp is within the park. Another family staying here. Light was lovely but driving through the tsetse fly area was not. Made for an amusing car ride though. Everyone swatting and batting.

So many animals we have seen that we have lost count-
Elephants Vultures Giraffes Baboons
Hippos Lions Ostrich
Zebras Thomson Gazelles Warthogs
Wildebeests Impalas Buffalo Weaver birds

The camp is much the same as the others so feels like home.They have huge baobab trees on site. This park is known for it's trees and elephants and we are not disappointed. It is both rally hills with low trees and wide expanses of swampland which show up as acres and acres of green grass. The presence of so much water is especially nice for birds and bathing guys- like elephants and water buffalo.
