Safari to Tanzania – June 2010

Here are a few of my favorite photos from my safari in June 2010!

Probably my most favorite safari-experience happened on this trip… when a family of 6 cheetahs came up to our vehicle (a momma and her 5 sub-adult cubs).  To my dismay and delight, two of them actually jumped up and used our vehicle as a perch!  Talk about getting up close and personal!  I’ll never forget their gentle curiosity and sweet conversation as they “chirped” to each other about the *contents* of the vehicle (aka *us*, the people inside!)  Since cheetahs are my absolute favorite animal, this was a very special experience I will never, ever forget.
