ANTICIPATION IS THE BEST THERAPY

Traveling to Tanzania, Africa with OAT

“The idea of waiting for something makes it more exciting” 
― Andy Warhol

Come this October, it will be 17 months since Doug's AAA surgery and stroke. And after taking a successful two-week Caribbean cruise last February, we are now counting down the days to our next adventure to Africa. We will be traveling with Overseas Adventure Travel (OAT) on their tour Safari Serengeti: Tanzania Lodge and Tented Safari. 

We have also included the OAT pre-trip to the Foothills of Kilimanjaro and a post-trip to Zanzibar. In addition, we are taking advantage of the 3-night stopover in Amsterdam on our way to Africa, and another 3-night stopover on our return to the States. We like to get the most out of the time and money it takes to travel so far, as well as take time to re-calibrate our aging bodies in between the long flying legs of our journey.

While I usually post my own photos on this blog, these photos are from the OAT guide book which show what exciting adventures are in store for us. Come along as we anticipate this trip of a lifetime.




This is the Wildebeest migration that I hope we'll get to see.


I loved the nine summers I spent as a child at sleep-away camp, so this looks right up my alley.
In fact, it's probably more luxurious than what I was used to as a kid.
Except there wasn't the possibility of lions and zebras wandering through the campground at night.
