Mary's Favorites
1. What is your favorite African animal? Why?
My favorite African animal is the Hippopotamus. It has been a favorite of mine for as long as I can remember. They appear to float around in the rivers and sun themselves on the surface, however they play a very important part in the ecosystem. They are very intelligent and can move very swiftly when needed.
2. What is your favorite African destination? Why?
My favorite destination in Africa is the Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania, for the Natural Wonder of being the world’s largest caldera supporting its own ecosystem. South Africa is also a favorite, from the cosmopolitan cities, filled with culture, history, and flair, to the wonderful National Parks.
My favorite safari package is Tanzania, In the Footsteps of the Migration because what would be better than witnessing the amazing spectacle of the great migration and seeing Tanzania's abundance of wildlife.
