moshi to Zanzibar

hi all
we made it through the safari feeling like shaken paint cans in a dust bowl but it was awesome! saw just about everything but a black rhino, which is pretty rare. we are at the airport right now waiting to fly to zanzibar. hopefully will have some internet access there. didn't have any at our lodges on safari and certainly not at our public campsite the first night. the truck only broke down 2 times on safari but lucky for us our driver/guide was also a top notch mechanic. the first time was after we made it to our campsite, so we were just delayed getting into the park. the second time a couple days later was in the Serengeti on our way back to the lodge after we had seen lots of lions! but no worries we are all here.
let's see, animals we saw: lots of zebras and gazelles; impalas, dik diks, a leopard lounging in a tree w/ her dinner, a gazelle hanging on another branch; water buffalos, heart beasts, many birds, hippos, giraffes, wildebeasts, hyenas, jackells, and 2 cheetas hunting and stalking a herd of wildebeasts. we got to see the chase but they were unsuccessful and eventually all moved too far away to see.
more details when we have more time.
off to the coast.
love to all!
