Out of Africa

Mommy and Daddy went to Tanzania while I stayed with Granny and Grandpa. They were helping people who don't have electricity to get lights. They stayed most of the trip in a small town called Kayanga on the Rwanda border, west of Lake Victoria, but also went on a safari through the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara. They say it was their most amazing trip ever!
