When I was a kid, I was utterly obsessed with animals. I was never the girl who would play with Barbies and dress up as a princess, nor was I the one who'd beat you at penalty shoot outs and constantly be climbing trees. I was the girl who could list you 25 facts about dolphins from memory. I was the girl who played Zoo Tycoon religiously. I was the girl who'd watch Walking with Dinosaurs three times a week.
So as you can imagine, I've dreamt of going on safari ever since I knew what the African savannah was, which made visiting Lake Manyara National Park and Ngorongoro Crater Conservation Area the highlights of my post-Kili adventure.
