I was lucky enough to travel to Tanzania and experience  a safari on the Northern route which covered the Serengeti, Ngorogoro Crater,  Arusha, Tarangire and  Lake  Manyara. It was so amazing to see so many animals  in their natural habitat. Even though I was there for a limited time, it was such a thrill to gaze upon and be so close to  these magnificent creatures that I had  seen previously only  in books or at a zoo. I also saw  and learned about many new animals, birds and plants.

I have many more photos that may be posted in a later blog. I hope you enjoy viewing these photos as much as I had taking them.

Africa and its wildlife  has  truly captured my heart!
