Safari

After an early breakfast we were back out for a morning game drive as we were only checked into the park for 24hrs. 

Our tented lodge accommodation for the night

Lunch was back at the Lodge then we headed to Ngorongoro. Since leaving Arusha at the start of our Safari most of the farming we have seen on route has been nomadic with the Maasai all along the way out grazing their precious animals on the bare dusty landscape.

A typical scene of this nomadic farming. This was a big herd many with young boys out watching over them.

More surprises as we go

Baboons & gazelle by the water

We drove through the Great Rift Valley & into the red fertile farmlands of barley & wheat to our accommodation in the Ngorongoro Highlands where we overnighted at the Acacia Farm Lodge

On our arrival we were welcomed by a line up of the staff clapping and singing the most beautiful African songs that brought tears to your eyes. 

Before dinner we all sat around a big fire burning in a wheelbarrow and chatted to the staff & other visitors then dinner & bed.
