The next destination was Tarangire National Park. Camp Kuro. More in the south and more hot. The sun really stings here. Famous for baobabs, impressive trees. Very dense and very large. Leopards, elephants and TseTse flies. The latter are annoying, but nothing more. Godfrey, our guide, brought fronds with him. This was a good way of chasing the pests away. What's more, they were only in certain places in the park. We had to get through them, but it went quickly.

Before we got to our camp, we found our first leopard. To be honest, Godfrey found it. We wouldn't have seen it. Not until we stumbled over it. He (it was a male) was elaxing in a tree after a long meal. Leopards always feed in the branches of a tree. There they are safe from other predators or scavengers such as hyenas, which cannot climb so well, or even vultures, which annoy the leopards while they are eating, as the branches are in the way. But we also saw a leopard lying relaxed next to the road, just one or two meters from the car. In the days that followed, we were out and about among elephants, leopards, antelopes and guenons, had breakfast by the river and a sundowner on a hill. Unforgettable moments in a paradise.
