a pleasant tuesday to you all.
we just wanted to check in to let you know that our mini-safari circuit yesterday and today was amazing. yesterday we were in ngorogoro crater, and today we visited lake manyara national park (we're in tanzania by the way).
along the way we picked up on a bit of safari lingo - mostly just that some animals are more important than others. specifically there are 5 animals that get the title "The Big 5". these include: elephant, water buffalo, lion, rhino and leopard. the other animals (i.e. giraffe, hippo, impala, zebra, wildebeest, etc.) are not very important to seasoned safari-goers. well, we are not seasoned, and so we soaked it all in (yes, even those fat-sack hippos got us pretty excited). anyway, we did see the big 5 (4 of the 5 at the crater, and our keen eyes picked out the leopard today). we really did have a lot of fun.
the other reason for the update is that we wanted to let everyone know that in a couple of days we will be making it "the big 6".....yes, that's right - we'll be hooking up with the big brandon thiessen in zanzibar for a week of paradise. we really can't wait to see brandon, and would choose no other place than zanzibar to spend our r&r time with him.
be jealous......be very jealous.
check back in a few.
love,
mambo and jambo

So am I getting my 'foot stools' then???
Yes....we're jealous, very jealous! Sounds like you guys are having a truly great adventure. We wish we were still out there. Since you're heading to Zanzibar, does that mean you're not heading to Kigoma or Lake Tanganyika (or do you plan to backtrack)?
HEy guys! It sounds like you're having a blast! Wish i could be there and see all the animals and stuff...wow it must be unreal! Man after traveling for 6 monthes of my life i'm deffantly getting a little restless! Well i hope you guys are having a blast and that you are....at least kinda... keeping safe.
that anonymous blog was from Karissa...just thought i'de add that
how does hooking up with brandon make 6? you guys didn't major in math did you!?
anyways, the trip sounds amazing. unreal really. i think you may actually just be kooped up in a rat infested motel somewhere sleeping with one eye open to watch for man-hungry lizards. enjoy zanzibar. it's on my list of places i want to be.
SOOOOOOOOOOOO JEALOUS!
Hi Guys,
The trip sounds great.
Say HI to "the big...6" (my favorite nephew)
