Marc went on a week long safari with driver and guide, Loma. The safari started in Arusha National Park where they saw many birds and the black and white colobus monkey. In Tarangire National Park they saw many groups of elephants. As Marc was interested in the birdlife of the area, Loma and Marc dedicated a lot of their time here looking for birds.
