Up close with a pride of lions in Serengeti National Park, Tanzania

I shielded my eyes from the dust kicked up by a passing safari vehicle as we drove along the rough dirt track. As the dust quickly cleared I stared out of my window at the huge expanse of the Serengeti Plain. The mix of golds, browns and greens of the grass contrasted beautifully against the [...]

Photo of the week: Wood Worker in Arusha, Tanzania

Experiencing Village Life in Mto wa Mbu, Tanzania

The heat of the midday sun beat down upon me as I walked out of the bright green rice fields I had been exploring near our camp site. Waiting for a tuk tuk to pass by, I crossed the main road and entered onto a dusty dirt street on the other side. The sound of [...]
