Our Safari

---

Well-off we went to our long awaited Safari. There were six of us and we had the best time. We started out by flying into Nairobi on a Friday evening. Once there, we stayed in the Safari Park Hotel for the evening and were off around 0800 the next morning to the bus that was scheduled to take us to Aursha, Tanzania. This trip took about 5-6 hours. That evening we stayed at the Impala hotel and woke Sunday morning to be driven to Sunni Safaris (our tour giuide for our safari). Hence our vacation began. Our safari lasted three days (Sunday through Wednesaday). We went to the Ngorongoro Crater, the Serengeti, Hippo Lake and some other places. The hotels (lodges) were incredible. Watching the native dancing was interesting as well. There was one occasion on the rim of the Crater that we ran across Massai warriors who were willing to take a picture with me. Then later in the excursiion we saw two African children dressed in black. From what I understand, the Chief of their tribe had chosen these two among others that we did not see, to be circumcised. They were left out in the wild for several months to fend for themselves with the exception of some food being brought to them in the evenings by their parents. I have attached several interesting pictures and hope you enjoy them.

On Thursday we were back in Nairobi and just relaxed. We went to the Carnivore restaurant. (awesome place) and Friday we went into town to the market to shop and then home to our humble abode (Djibouti). It was well worth the trip. I only wish that my family could have enjoyed the moment with me.
