We spent the day getting a tour of Dar Es Salaam, but unfortunately we had a bit too much down time and ended up getting to the airport early and having to wait for several hours for our flight. We made it home safely, but not before our car engine blew out on us 30 miles from home.

Today we visited the big tortoises on Prison Island. We had a lot of fun, and we got some snorkeling in afterwards as well. After this it was time to take the ferry back to mainland Tanzania which meant our trip was soon coming to an end.

Today we did the infamous Spice Tour in Stone Town which I would recommend to anyone traveling to Zanzibar. We learned about a bunch of spices and got to see them in their natural habitat and then had to chance to eat some spices and fruit. We also walked around Stone Town today and got some food at the local markets.

Today we took a dhow to the outskirts of Mnemba Island to go snorkeling. We had a great time, although we wished it lasted longer. Both of us got a little sea sick, but it was still a great time!

Today we went to Kiwengwa to go horseback riding! We spent some time relaxing on the beach and guarding our stuff from local toddlers who were trying to steal our stuff, and then I went horseback riding on the beach and swimming bareback in the ocean. After that we walked down the beach, made friends with a herd of cows, backtracked to search for a missing shoe, and then ended the day back in Nungwi to watch a boat full of crazy drunk Russians come and party at the restaurant we were eating dinner at.

Today we flew from Kilimanjaro International Airport to Zanzibar. Our hotel wasn't expecting us, so we had to sit around and wait while they got a room ready for us which ended up being beautiful. We stayed at Langi Langi Beach Bungalows in Nungwi. Today we walked around the local villages, explored the dhows on the beach, and ate lots of good food.

Today we spent the day at Ngorongoro Crater and saw a bunch of lions! This was by far my favorite place to visit on our safari. We learned more about the disappearing black rhino population and were even lucky enough to see a few rhino from far away.

We spent another day in the Serengeti today and saw a lion, cheetah, and leopard! We also made a pit stop at Olduvai Gorge which is a famous archaeological site. We finished the day with a broken car after some wild rides.

Today we drove over to the Serengeti. On our way, we had to get our car repaired by a guy with a sketchy setup that involved plugging his homemade contraption into live electrical wires. We visited a Massai Village, and Charlie got to do the "jumping dance" with the tribe members. After that we saw some more wildlife including the cutest baby baboon

Today was day 1 of our camping safari with Ahsante Tours. We met our safari guide, Elvis, and drove over to Tarangire National Park to view some wildlife. The roads would have been difficult to navigate if we didn't have a guide. We saw many animals today, including elephant, zebra, giraffe, water buck, buffalo, baboon, wart hog, impala, ostrich, and even two cheetah at the end. Our day ended at Karatu Forest Tented Camp, which was much more luxurious than we were expecting!
