Safari Day One

JAMBO!(hello in Swahili!)

We arrived safe and sound in Tanzania. We were all surprised to have internet, as we were told that we would not, but we are fairly certain that tonight is the last internet night!
We got in last night, and I was immediately surprised at how cold it was here! I could see my breath when we were outside. We woke up at 7 this morning to start our safari. It was amazing. I do not know if there are words to describe it here. It is everything and nothing like I imagined it to be all at the same time. We saw lots of giraffes, zebras and warthogs! We went on a canoe trip today also where we were able to get really close to three hippos. We spent the rest of the day touring Arusha National Park. We saw a lot of baboons which are such funny creatures. The look like they are fighting half the time!
We have also been working on our Swahili. Everyone here speaks excellent English, but for common phrases they respond in Swahili, and we wanted to be able to keep up.
Caribou=your welcome
Jambo=hello
Tomorrow we are touring the rest of Arusha National Park and then off to Oliver's Camp for two nights.
There are places that look just out of the Lion King!
