Weekend 2, 2nd safari

In a nutshell: left Friday morning for a long drive. First to Arusha, to pick up the cook (John, nice bloke, great cook), then to a masai village, where we were invited for a sunset walk (breathtaking views), a meal and some masai dancing and singing. Yes, we were invited to join and believe it or not: I was jumping with them. It felt awkward, but somehow good as well. 2 beers, a good conversation with Benny and a long night sleep.
Saturday: sunrise walk to the same spot, learned about herbs and plants from Ruben (masai, who did speak English), breakfast, drove to the next campsite, setup our stuff quickly and than to Tarangine national park. We saw it all: elephants, dikdik’s (a deer with the size of a small dog), lions, giraffes, zebra’s, well you mention it, we saw it. Great day.
Back in the camp: some relaxing, good food, a beer, and again a long night sleep. Sunday: early walk, but not that much to see unfortunately, long drive back to Moshi. Great site seeing though. Bought small stuff at a masai market, lunch at a ridiculously expensive touristy spot, then moshi again. All in all a great weekend. Nice dinner with the 3rd kisii guy (David), Liesbeth, Benny and Alxandra (friend of Liesbeth, also from Holland) at Venture Africa (one of our favourite restaurants). Slept like a rose (dutch expression?) again. It’s Monday morning now. Beginning of our last week. Time flies!! About to have our weekly meeting.

Movie is to follow soon.

See ya all, Jan.
