Awesome African Safari Animal Photos

By  | 

Since my foot was hurting more each hour, I decided to take as many photos as possible to take my mind off of the pain. For some reason the more I took pictures, the less I noticed that my foot was killing me. These are my best African safari animal shots from the trip.

These are my best African safari animal shots from the trip. These photos were my pain medicine. In hindsight, these amazing animals were my salvation. The provided diversion, but, more importantly, the view was breathtaking. I couldn’t contain, how happy the animals made during a terrible situation. I think they upped my endorphin level which was the best pain medicine.

The birds when I saw them were among my favorites photos and animals to spot. I say this, because, birds are actually pretty hard to find and photograph in Tanzania.

The animals were so close. Until I came home and saw what I had in my camera, I didn’t know what I had experienced.

Honestly, if I hadn’t been hurt, it would be a great location. The animals and staff at the hotels were very nice. The accommodations were good. You can spend more with better accommodations, such as tents over rivers and along riverbanks, than we had. I would be careful who you travel with in Tanzania, Africa. I recommend this tour company because they have great accommodations. Additionally, if you get hurt, be able to leave immediately and find medical help. You might not even have to go home if you find medical care immediately after you are hurt.
