Photolog: Tarangire NP, Serengeti, & Ngorogoro Crater (Tanzania)
After I had completed my climb of Mt. Kilimanjaro I decided to take a relaxing 5 day safari through the 3 major National Parks in Northern Tanzania. Experiences that will never be forgotten. Below are a few of my images. Any comments & criticism would be welcome.
I will be posting one new photo to my website each day. So if you like these, feel free to view others.

6. Let sleeping kitties sleep, Serengeti National Park
7. Tree climber, Serengeti National Park
8. Ngorogoro Crater
9. King of the Serengeti

I've never even heard of Tarangire, Ngorongoro crater is incredible, the Serengeti was interesting. Likewise, Kilimanjaro was incredible.
Unfortunately something happened to all our film, the images were blue-fogged to uselessness.

Thank you DiMAn0684!
I had never heard for Tarangire until I got there. It's a beautiful park just to the west/southwest of Arusha National Park just before you reach Lake Manyara. It's best known for it's Baobob trees and for it's high density of elephants...
I was less impressed with Ngorogoro than I thought I would be. But I think I'd been watching too many documentaries on the Discovery Channel. I found the Serengeti to be my favorite of all the parks visited.... Kilimanjaro, well, I climbed it but not once did I ever see its peak from Moshi as it remained under cloud cover almost every day I was there. But above the cloud line it was always clear -- save for two days where there was rain, but fortunately after I had made camp...
