Our last full day in Tanzania had us being driven the few hours from Ngorongoro Crater back to Arusha for a second overnight at the Arusha Coffee Lodge before our early morning flight.
On the way we spent a few hours at the Manyara National Park for a last chance to see Elephants, Zebra, Monkeys – and loads of Pelicans! We had a nice picnic lunch there, too. And so, here’s the last safari video:
Grumeti Balloon Flight
One early morning during our stay at Singita Faru Faru in the (private) Grumeti reserve, we experienced the incredible views of a balloon flight over the reserve. Mostly the views were of the open plains, occasional trees and streams, and distant hills; but the most amazing views came at the end when we drifted over a herd of more than 100 Elephants! They were clearly bothered by us up in the sky above them – you’ll see a few turn to look and then begin moving away in the opposite direction …
Ngorongoro Crater
While much of our recent Africa Safari was in the expansive Serengeti, we spent one day driving into and around the much smaller but extremely beautiful Ngorongoro Crater – here’s a video tour from that day:
