Day 4—Safari Day Two (5/24)
We left for the safari at 6am but this time we had two open jeeps/range rovers. We drove around the park and saw pretty much the same animals as the first day. Our drivers tried looking for lions but with no luck. We definitely saw a lot more animals the first day than the second day. But we did see a beautiful sunrise over the park. We came back at around 10am and had breakfast (banana, watermelon, papaya, eggs, hot dog, baked beans, toast, tomato, and some juice). We then left for Dar Es Salaam at around 12pm and as we were passing the national park, we saw a bunch of baboons hanging out on the side of the road. We had lunch/snack halfway through the trip at the same hotel restaurant that we stopped at the first time. There were really tall hills on the way there and back, with some as high as the clouds. There were also a lot of small villages off the side of the road. The car’s brake disc broke and so we had to stop at a gas station to get it fixed which only took about 15-20 minutes (really fast!). On the ride back, the van picked up a police officer and gave him a ride a couple of miles down the road. That was definitely interesting.
