6th February - Day 6 Safari - Tarangire National Park

We were up bright and early. We were escorted by the Masai warrior to breakfast and on the way he showed us lion footprints just feet from the door to our room!! I didn't have my camera on me to record these and later I forgot. By the time we returned from game driving they had been washed away by the rain. 

We packed up the Land Rover and headed out. As we went down the hill, we could see how minimal the impact of our lodge was on its surroundings.

This was to be another memorable 'day of the cats'. We followed 3 cheetas we found as they moved from mound to mound. They are truly spectacular to watch.

When we got back, I was really interested to read the strategic plan for the Lolkisale Biodiverity Conservation project that the lodge itself is part of. There are a few of the early development documents still on the internet, including the original Project brief @ http://www.gefweb.org/Documents/Medium-Sized_Project_Proposals/MSP_Proposals/Tanzania_-_Lalkisale_Biodiversity.pdf
