Tanzanian Alphabet.

As I mentioned, I took hundreds and hundreds of pictures.  The best way I could think of sharing the animal pictures with you was by putting together an alphabet of sorts.  I did have to stretch a bit on some of them, but I thought we did pretty good for such a short period of time.  Mind you, I have SO many pictures (especially of the elephants, giraffes, and lions)!  I'll try to limit myself.  Here goes...

A is for African Elephant



B is for Baboon





C is for Cheetah



D is for Dikdik

E is for Eland

F is for Flamingo


G is for Giraffe




H is for Hartebeest

I is for Impala

J is for Jackal

K is for Kori Bustard

L is for Lion, Leopard, and Lilac-Breasted Roller






M is for Mongoose and Blue Monkey


N is for Nile Hippopotamus


O is for Ostrich and Oxpecker


P is for a Pair of Green Fischer's Lovebirds

Q is for a Questing Jamie

R is for Rhino

S is for Secretary Bird and Stork


T is for Thompson's Gazelle

U is for bUffalo (I know...)


V is for Vervet Monkey and Von Der Delken's Hornbill


W is for Warthog and Wildebeest




X is for HyraX

Y is for hYena


Z is for Zebra





The End


Needless to say, I was taking pictures pretty relentlessly and I learned a lot about Tanzanian fauna.  There are many other animals that we saw that I simply didn't photograph, or didn't include in the "alphabet".  I'll try not to duplicate photos as I recap the trip some over the next couple days...
