Our chariots for the day.
Cheeky monkeys at the first pit stop.
Elephant skull.
Caged up! We had a picnic in a cage so the monkeys couldn’t steal our food.
Loved these beautiful blue birds.
Getting friendly as they were after our scraps.
Termite mound.
We saw lions, but everything we had spotted was pretty far away until a couple of elephants decided to cross right in front of us.
I got a little concerned, won’t lie! Amazing stuff.
Zebras.
Our trusty steeds.
Selfie.
Photo stop.
Arrival at our accomodation after a very long off-road safari.
No it’s not dirty water! We were greeted with tamarind juice.
I heard we were staying in huts, but this is about as luxurious as a hut gets!
Way wider than widescreen view.
Beer o’clock till the sun goes down.
We lost a day in transit, and it was a nightmare as our flight was cancelled which threw us into chaos as we had an interconnecting flight to catch in order to make it all the way to Tanzania. Our tour manager Benjamin is a christian man, he prayed his ass off, and somehow, with the help of an amazing airline hostess, we made it by the narrowest of margins.
We got to our hotel at midnight, had a quick meal and we were all in bed by 1-2AM, the next morning we were straight into these mighty Toyota Land Cruisers, and off on a Safari, which started out pretty damn slow as many of the animals were so far away (a zoom lens would really have been good…), but the pace picked up when we found a pack of lions, with one young female attempting to sneak up on some wild boar, but with no success, then, whilst watching a large group of elephants, the largest of the group decided to head straight for us and cross right in front of us, day made, that was quite an experience for sure.
