Day 6 - dar es sallam Michael turned up for bed at 1am, and we had to get up to put down the tent at 3.50am. He was surprisingly helpful! Was expecting to have to do it alone but he was fine. Got the tent down and grabbed a couple of rolls to have when we got hungry in a few hours, and headed off on our long travel down to dar es sallam. Michael fell asleep straight away but I was too uncomfy so watched some of the only way is Essex on my iPod. At about 12 we st...

Day 5 - ngorongoro craterOnce again, up at 5am. We were back in the cars and off to the crater for another early morning game drive.

After snoozing our alarms a couple of times we finally got up at 5.10am, way too early when your on holiday! It was pretty cold at that time of the morning and there was no hot water int he shower so it was a miserable and cold morning.

But we were hungry and had no where el...
