Roger's Safari Pix

              Roger Plumley and Carolyn's beautiful 2012 Safari trip.

     Last December my wife Carolyn and I spent two weeks in Tanzania, East Africa on a photo safari.  It's an amazing place and one of the most memorable trips we've ever taken.  We thought others might enjoy seeing some of the things we saw.
     Transportation was provided by a four wheel drive Toyota Land Cruiser with a pop-top.  It allowed an unobstructed view of the animals and scenery.

Fist Day we spotted this cheetah stalking a water buck.

Cheetahs are capable of speeds up to 60 MPH.

The kill was over pretty quickly.

We were safe in the Land Cruiser but she knew we were there.

A Lilac Breasted Roller, sometimes called a flying Easter Egg.

Elephants were a common sight but always fun to see.

A banded mongoose at home on a termite mound.

A Black Headed Heron.

A lioness doing what a lioness does most of the day.

Her twin cubs played nearby.

A young bush buck.

We watched as this leopard left his perch...

walked toward us ...

... and sat down in the shade of our Land Cruiser to have his picture taken.

A few of the local villagers.

A Masai tribesman in front of his house.
