Fri, February 13th - Tarangire Nat'nl Park

Peter, the kids, Suzanne & I (Tammy enjoyed a day to herself at home!) left early in the morning to get to the park early so we could have a good chance at spotting animals. It was a great time of many firsts for me which is amazing as I grew up going to game parks:
1) seeing a Leopard
2) seeing the Leopards kill up in the tree
3) Baboon in a Palm tree (see if you can find him below )
4) baby elephants nap'n within a circle of adults
5) 2 impala males fighting for a llooonngg time
6) seeing Sianna & Leighton 'driving' :-)

To the right is a rare picture of a Leopard!
Its kill hanging in a tree in the pic to the left

Nap time for the young ones. It's hard to see, but the baby elephants are laying down as the older ones have surrounded them like a protective wall.

Baobob that we had our picnic lunch under. It provided a nice cool place to refresh ourselves!
