2 weeks of a dream in Tanzania

My first solo trip was to Tanzania, and while I was veryyyy scared, after I got done crying in my Airbnb, I opened the door to what would be the most memorable 2 weeks of my life.

Photo 1 @ Lushoto:

I met a local man in Dar Es Salaam and actually became good friends with him over a few drinks. He was headed back to his village which was an 8 hour local bus into the village of Lushoto. What I didn’t realise was the journey there would be incredibly dangerous.. but on the other end of the journey I was welcomed with love and care.

Photo 2 @ Tarangire National Park:

I did a group joining safari which is a budget way to experience the safari. You join random people who are your jeep buddies for the new few days. We spotted so many elephants in this national park, and it’s no wonder taranagire is called the elephant capital of the world. I actually cried when I saw the first elephant, I’m not sure why but it was quite heavy!

Photos 3-7 @ Serengeti National Park:

The Serengeti is obviously the iconic national park and I was so excited! Started the day with watching 2 hippos fighting which was awesome, and then had a packed lunch to keep us going. Saw lions on the top of a mountain/rock (not sure lol) which I’ll genuinely never forget, it felt like I was in a documentary. Oh, and with like half an hour left in the Serengeti, literally as we was heading to the exit we saw a cheetah in the long grass grooming herself and the whole safari jeep was in awe

Photos 8-12 @ Ngorogoro Crater:

This was what I was most excited for, it fascinated me more then the Serengeti by a mile. The remains of a volcano, and it was so dense with wildlife!! We saw a hyena with blood all over its neck which was a real eye opener that the circle of life in wildlife is truly real and unforgiving!!

In the photo with the tents, can you see the wild buffalo?

Photo 11 @ Moshi:

I actually went to Moshi to see killimanjaro, unfortunately it was too cloudy so I went and made coffee from scratch with some locals, it was nice to meet and have genuine chats with them!

Photo 10 @ Zanzibar:

The only way for me to end such a jam packed 2 weeks was to sit on the white beaches of Zanzibar and do absolutely nothing 😎

Oh yeh, I also sky dived over Zanzibar to end my trip which was wicked
