'Big 5' Safari

For those of you still interested in my blog....I've finally managed to make some semblance of life back to normality - well as normal as I can be after such a life changing journey.

When I had the weekend off in Moshi and did the Safari in Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara I managed to see the so-called "Big 5" - now that I'm back to a faster downloading internet connection here are my pictures of the "Top 5" from the Safari:  Rhino; Cheetah; Hippo; Lion and Elephant

This is definitely where I needed a good zoom camera so anyone who is going on a safari - definitely invest in a good zoom so you get great photo's. This cheetah and hippo were the only opportunities I had and they were too far away to get a decent photo........

This is the biggest male lion I've seen - he probably weighed about 250kg as that's generally maximum weight of a full grown lion. These two happened to be off by themselves 'enjoying' time together....quite rare to see.

And to top off a spectacular day, as we were leaving a family of elephants came out of the bush right beside the vehicle and there was a baby approx 1metre high (front) and a teeny, weeny one probs under 50cm in the background - so gorgeous!!
