Summer 2019 for my kiddos will be one of the memory books. Before we embarked on your Family Safari, we created a checklist of what we wanted to see on our Safari. Happy to report that not all did we successfully check all from the lists below, we have created more lists as the kids are hooked on Safari.
Spend time with the Maasai Tribe in Ngorongoro.
This experience was an eye-opener for all. We started our walk from lovely Entamanu Ngorongoro with our Maasai guide. On the way, he explained the flowers, fruits, bushes, etc. that they use on a daily basis for food, curing illnesses, pains, etc. We then arrived at the village where we were welcomed with songs and fire lighting. We were encouraged to participate. The mamas lead us to their boma [homestead] and a quick run-through of their home. That night, my kids were so thankful for running water to brush their teeth, light in the room to read, and space in general. An evening we still talk about at home.
Enjoy the sunsets in Mara and Serengeti.
This was not hard to do at all. We were blessed with glorious sunsets in Masai Mara, Kenya and Serengeti, Tanzania. The evening game drives were extra special when we had some drinks in hand as well. The kids thoroughly enjoyed Tangawizi [gingerale] and I enjoyed Kilimanjaro beer or a lovely glass of wine. Amazing African Sunsets, a drink, good company … not a bad way to end your day on Safari, eh?
See all the beautiful elephants in Tarangire and Amboseli.
Elephants are magic! Whether it is your first time or multiple times, being with them in the wild and in their own landscape is pure bliss. We had the pleasure of seeing huge herds with lots of babies. Once you have spent time with them, you can not fathom a world without them.
”The say an elephant never forgets. What they don’t tell you is, you never forget an elephant.”
- Bill Murray.
And we also got to recreate this image originally taken in 2014 [see above]. We can’t wait recreate this again in the near future.
