Tarangire National Park

Today we went to Tarangire National Park, which is 2600 sq. km. We saw: guinea fowl, zebra, water buffalo, impala, wildebeest, giraffe, mongoose, termite houses (huge!), white headed vulture, elephant, and hartebeasts. All of the national parks have been so big!

We spent the night at a campsite and were treated to some native Masai dancing and performance. There was a guy keeping watch at the campsite with a bow and arrow to protect against animals or thieves.

Vocab word of the day:
Twiga – giraffe
