Travelogue Tanzania 2009
Programme Day 3 – ­Tarangire National ­Park

A whole day game drive to Tarangire National Park, again we see many elephants. For lunch we can leave our vehicle the first time, there are special picknick places, here we can eat our packed lunch. Close to us there are elephants, the grass looks like a perfect place for snakes and from the trees huge ticks fall down on us. It was great, apart from the ticks, but luckily they did not bite us.

Tarangire National Park - picknick close to elephants
What a marvelous place for a picknick. Elephants in the background and hopefully no lions hidden in the grass.
Tarangire National Park - big orange tick
The ticks were less romantic.

This day was probably our Monkey Day, we stood for ages watching them.

As many tourists feed the monkeys they are not afraid at all.
