Ngorongoro
While in Tanzania, we finally got to go on a safari! We went to Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Basically, you drive to the top of this mountain and then go down on the other side into the middle of a 'crater.' The crater is filed with all types of animals. We saw water buffaloes, zebras, a leopard, rhino, lions, elephants, and hippos!

It was pretty much everything I wanted to see in one place, and it was beautiful. We got to ride through in one of those cars that has the roof popped up and stick our heads out. At some points, we took the liberty of being our own tourguides with some nice "British" accents. However, the ride was bumpy, and I ended up with a large bruise on my side. The battle wound was worth it for the day.
Mt. Kilimanjaro!

We also got to climb a little bit of Mt. Kilimanjaro. Although we didn't get to reach the peak of Africa in a day, we did have a nice day hike. We started from the base and went up to the first hut and a little further up to this crater rim. Since we had been stuck in a safari vehicle for a few days, it was nice to finally get out and explore something, even if it was just a couple hour hike.
