While on Safari we drove around in a 4x4 vehicle complete with a open top, so you could stand up and look out and take pictures. There were 7 of us in our car, plus our driver Lawrence. Lawrence has been driving and guiding folks on safari for over 10 years now and was great at picking out and identifying the animals we were seeing - even from a distance. He helped us find the "Big 5" and more.

Our safari took us from Arusha, Tanzania into Lake Maynara National Park, the Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater Conservation Area and Tarangrie National Park and back to Arusha. We spent between 1-2 days in each of these places, driving between 1-5 hrs each day to get to the next park. Each park was a little different with the terrain and the animals that we saw. Some parks had larger herds of animals, some had more Elephants or Lions, some had a watering trough where animals visited and we got to see them up close. We stayed in our vehicle throughout the game drives, but were definitely close to the animals, at times with the lions just right below us, or the Elephants crossing right in front of our vehicle.
