Tanzania and Zanzibar

Hi Everyone

We're typing this from a posh hotel on the coastline of beautiful Zanzibar. Hope you're all jealous!

We've just finished a week long safari on the mainland which was incredible. We started off at the Ngorongoro Crater where we were lucky enough to see a Black Rhino amongst other things. Then it was on to the Serengeti for lions (including cubs), giraffe, zebra, wilderbeast, cheetah and the elusive leopard. At Lake Manyara Sharon was pleased to see an African Fish Eagle at close quarters and we were almost trampled by a pair of elephants who came out of the forest right in front of us (OK, so we were in a jeep but that's not the point).

Now we're in Zanzibar, enjoying a few days rest before we fly home. Our hotel is lovely with palm trees and a beautiful white, sandy beach leading to the turquoise sea.

Sorry there aren't any pictures this time - we can't upload them here. No doubt we'll put some up when we get home, but on past performance it might not be until December!!
