As we finalized the details for our safari in Tanzania in January it dawned on us…”WE NEED 7 PAIRS OF BINOCULARS!!!”  Yikes!

You can’t exactly commit to a safari in Africa and then cheap out and not give everyone binoculars.  I can just imagine the sibling rivalry that would ensue when the guide says “over there is a lion!” and we only have 3 pairs to share between the 7 of us!

Luckily we figured this out before we left for the trip, but procuring 7 pairs of binoculars is not easy.  We searched our camping gear and house and found 1 sandy pair of binoculars we use for surfing that are impossible to focus and a pair of bird binoculars that were scratched L

As for safari, we used Safaris.com which is headquartered in Bainbridge Island, WA!  They came highly recommended by several people we spoke to. We went to Bainbridge to visit John Davies, you runs safaris.com and he was great at helping us plan!  Can’t wait!  Going on safari is definitely on my bucket list so I am excited to experience the Serengeti with the kids and my parents!!!
