This weekend Peace Corps trainees got a taste of freedom! We left our host families and Peace Corps staff to travel to Mikumi National park. This is the Africa I dreamt about since watching the Lion King as a small child and I was not disappointed. We saw a bunch of animals including zebras, giraffes, hippos, crocodiles, impalas, etc. And we even got to witness a lioness devouring a giraffe for dinner. Unfortunately, my camera suffered a painful death on the day the picture of my hair was taken and I promise to go on another safari and take pictures before leaving Tanzania. Luckily, I have some great PCT friends and will share their pictures with you.
We spent the night at Mikumi so that we could enjoy the animals at sunset and sunrise. We had a lot of fun. There was a lot of drinking and dancing and it has been the highlight of training so far. It was definitely the break I needed!
