| Some roadside pictures |   On the way to Tarangire, we saw this bus which had gone off the road |   At Tarangire National Park | An elevated platform at the entrance to the park - monkeys everywhere! |     Safari vehicles waiting for their entry permit | Tsetse flies are attracted to these black and blue flags, which are sprayed with insecticide |   Baobab tree with a big hole in it |   Kenny enjoyed standing up in the truck | Tarangire had many beautiful baobab trees |   Our first ostriches |   Hanging out in the shade |   Guinea fowl | The wood of the baobab tree is very soft |   The bark at the base of the baobab tree is frequently torn off by elephants |   A whole flock of ostriches | Our very first lion! |   The lobby of the lodge in Tangarire | Our little tent |   Inside it was quite comfortable, with a toilet and bathroom. There was electricity just a few hours a day, but there were a few solar powered lights | View of the valley from our tent |   I found this tick crawling on my body. Luckily it hadn't yet started sucking my blood | Yech - a monkey had gotten inside the tent, and pooped on the tank of the toilet! |   Zebra |   Beautiful clouds |   I think these were our first close-up elephants. |   Lilac breasted roller |   From 6 PM to 9 PM, you could charge cameras and phones in this charging area in the lobby, which was a hot mess of cables | The zipper to our tent lodges had these funny attachments, which were meant to prevent the monkeys from opening the zipper, which otherwise they were apparently good at |       In Tangarire there were many elephants, and very close to the roads |   Nursing baby elephant |   The elephants do this interesting move, where they brush off the grass, which is quite dusty, before eating it |   Kids playing cards in the lobby of the lodge | Evening at the lodge |   Morning view of the valley | There were baboons everywhere. |   Scary bridge |     The "sausage" tree. Kenny said the fruits were very hard | At an overlook of a river |   Jackson found a stick insect | We frequently saw zebras in this position. I think it allows them to see predators in all directions |   Lots of weaver bird nests | Peter took this picture of a giraffe |   Lots of birds picking insects off the giraffe |   Lots of oddly shaped termite mounds |     A classic |   More nursing elephants |   We got some Masai blankets | | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
