Hi, I was just in Tanzania camping with our friends Brian and Jenny. We go camping with them every summer and each year it gets better, but nothing will beat this!   

This camping was the best kind because we were on safari. Our tents were right smack in the middle of the bush with lions, leopards, cheetahs, and other wild creatures. We weren't scared because we didn't actually see any of them at night, but we certainly heard them. Once we got into our tents for the night, we couldn't and wouldn't come out until morning because most of the animals hunt at night.

My favorite part of the trip was when we had a "kids only" jeep for the safaris.  It was really fun in the kids' jeep because we'd tell jokes and stories and play around when we weren't looking at animals.

Another thing we did in Tanzania was go visit some native tribes. One day we visited two different ones. With the first tribe, the Hazabe, we went hunting for animals and food. They didn't catch anything, but did get honey from a bee's nest, which they shared with us. It was the best honey you could ever get, fresh from the honeycomb. The tribe trades the honey for arrowheads and that afternoon we saw the tribe that makes them. They are called the Datoga tribe, and we played with their kids, giving them piggy-back rides and dancing with them. At the end of our visit, the people who were making the arrowheads let us make our own. We all decided that we're going to let the pros make the arrowheads because ours didn't exactly come out how we planned. Our friend Brian bought a bow and some arrows from the first tribe. And that's when we started trying to hunt birds at our camp. We didn't catch any, but it was really fun to try.
