Safari!

After the Kill

We had an amazing time on Safari. The Serengeti is beautiful. The above picture was taken in the early morning, after the female lion had killed a zebra (we didn't see that part of it). The way the whole animal kingdom was alerted to the kill was amazing. Hyenas, jackals, vultures, and other smaller animals surrounded the lions at a respectful distance, just waiting for their turn of the spoils. It was fascinating to watch!

We are now back in Arusha. Tomorrow, four of us leave Tanzania. Jenny will stay behind. She will live at Makumira University until October, tutoring a young Tanzanian girl and volunteering at an NGO.

The rest of us will continue on to Ethiopia where we will meet up with the Haines' for a few days and get to see the orphanage they will be the house parents for for the next two years.

We will be back in the U.S. in six days. We are all feeling sad that our time is nearing an end, although we are beginning to look forward to some things we have been missing (on my part, coffee that is not instant coffee and hot showers!).

Blessings to all,
Sue
