On Safari in Tanzania means nights spent listening to lions and leopards growling as you go to bed, watching the annual 700-mile pilgrimage of 1.5 million wildebeest and zebra through the southern part of the country, and perhaps the rare occasion when you find yourself stuck in your vehicle during a thunderstorm whiteout with the fear that you’re going to be washed away and left as lunch for marauding jackals. Sounds fun, doesn’t it?<\/p>\n

Penny experienced all this and more<\/a> during her week-long safari spent sleeping in the bush in September, during the dry season (the best time to see wildlife but not the best time to see the the lush greens of the land associated with the wet season<\/a>).<\/p>\n
