So many great places!
I loved my time in Tanzania!
I started at Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro crater, which had a really good balance between catering to tourists (plenty of places to see the animals from, established camp sites) and still being genuine wildlife reserves (no paved roads, animals walking free). I got to see quite a few lions, hippopotami, and giraffes, as well as more zebras and gazelles than you could count.
Next stop was Dar-es-Salaam, and then I took the ferry to Zanzibar. The whole island is beautiful, and Stone Town is like a time warp.
The people I met were all really friendly, which made it so much better, and I was really sad when I had to leave to get back to the real world.
