Our day to day life as a MAF family. We started out working with MAF in Dodoma, Tanzania. We lived there from November 2009 until January 2014. We then waited in "Limbo Land" in Nairobi, Kenya for around 6 months, whilst waiting to move on to our new posting in South Sudan. This blog mostly relates tales of our time in Tanzania, so I have kept its original title to reflect the majority of the blog content! :-)

A Drive on the Wild Side
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:
