A Drive on the Wild Side

Happy Travellers off on our big drive!

We have just returned from our family holiday. We had a wonderful time away from the work, heat and dust of Dodoma. Since travelling to our holiday destination involved an 11 hour road trip, door to door, we decided to break the journey and spend 2 nights at a guest house near to Mikumi National Park, giving us a day inbetween to explore the game reserve.

A few photo highlights from our visit to Mikumi National Park:

A lioness with a recent kill of buffalo, moving her dead prey into the shade of the tree...
... and after eating her fill, resting happily without taking any interest in us nearby:

We startled this group of giraffes as we came around a bend- what an amazing sight as they gracefully loped away:
We found a few more giraffe, as well as other animals, happy to pose for the camera in various places around the park:
