The teachers were just as happy as the kids and they got into our vehicle to take pictures. The couple with us from India actually met one of the nuns that came from his birth place back home as he heard them speaking his regional language.
A few pictures of the safari and camp....
Above are pictures of a bush baby that was feeding out of my hand at night. This doesn't do it justice as they are really cute and they pull your hand closer to them to gently take the bread or cracker......so cute.

Our guide, Frida, was knowledgeable and friendly. She is supporting her mother, 20 year old brother and 16 year old sister. She comes from a village outside Iringa and she gets home twice a year. She is working towards getting a camera, computer and a school course in computers. She is hard working and the manager at the resort said that she achieves better scores in guide trainings than all the men in the course. She is an inspiring woman and I hope she reaches her goals.
Does the hippo have a body? The coolest animal and I have never seen one out of the water. There was five floating around in the pool and this is the best picture.

The video........
Yes. That was me.
This big fella may have been the same one that woke us up at 3am .
It was a great day and we saw a lot of animals and colorful birds. Mikumi is the 5th largest park in Tanzania. This brochure is typical for this country as there are different prices for different people, prices in dollars and half way day the page under other fees it says etc.... so they can charge a fee for what they feel is wrong. It is the way in many parts of the society here.
