Day 5. Maweninga, Tarangire

Woken at 4am to the sound of smashing plates and glasses – turned out it was a honey badger, clearly desperate for a drink. The night camera we placed out actually caught the naughty culprit and also a leopard less than 5m from our room.  Fuel arrived so we felt happier with a fuller tank of diesel. 

On our morning drive we saw two young cheetahs followed by two “Tree Climbing” lionesses lying in the branch of a tree.  We then drove to Salima Swamp where there were massive herds of wildebeast and zebras plus hundreds of elephant.  After lunch, I ended up driving on the road less travelled – we soon realised why as it had been washed away in places so my 4x4 skills were severely tested.  Eventually Ian had to come to the rescue when I finally got stuck in a ravine and get us back on track- with landrover intact.
