Kilimanjaro: Hahn & Team Complete Safari Days, Going Separate Ways

Ok we didn’t get eaten by lions that last night in Tarangire National Park. There were fresh overnight Hyena tracks in the dirt where we were loading up the Landcruisers though, so we’ll count it as a close one. It was still dark when we ate breakfast at Nyikani Tent Camp and just beginning to get light when we drove away -on the prowl again for a final morning of wildlife viewing. Our excellent naturalist guide/drivers Johnson and Chacha kept finding (and explaining) the good stuff, including a big python on an overhead branch, and “strangular“ fig trees taking over baobobs. Safari couldn’t last forever though, so at 10:30 we left the park finally and began making our way back to Arusha. We made a final stop for shopping, some culture and a picnic lunch before returning to the familiar Rivertrees for the afternoon. By evening the team was going separate ways; some to Zanzibar, some to the Serengeti and several of us back into uncomfortable airplane seats. We shared a fun and memorable adventure on the roof of Africa…more than making up for airline/airport tediousness.
Thanks for following along.
