TANZANIA AFRICAN SAFARI - First Stop Tarangire !

Africa is so amazing...it's hard to decide where to start. First stop was Tarangire National Park, followed by Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater, and Serengeti National Park. So many animals roaming. It's so difficult to describe the vastness and wildlife, but hopefully the pictures can give some ideas. We have over 900 photos and wish we could share them all.

We are extremely lucky to have such a vacation. All guides and camps were wonderful. Our favorite camp was Oliver's Camp located in Tarangire. More postings of animals from each park to follow...check in periodically to see...well, you'll just have to wait! Below is just the beginning.

Dune Bashing

It's not an official visit to Abu Dhabi without a trip to the desert for Dune Bashing and dinner. It was a great day to be in the desert. Our last stop on Troy's visit after the dune bashing was a trip to Ferrari World located on Yas Island. Unfortunately the fastest coaster in the world was not operational on that day, but the facilities and other rides were quite amazing. Next postings...Tanzania African Safari! WOW!
