I rubbed the sleep from my tired eyes and stared out of the window of my safari vehicle. The sun was just rising above the horizon, slowly illuminating the land around us. We stopped at the rim of Ngorongoro Crater as the sun rose higher. Before me lay the huge 260 square kilometre caldera of [...]
Today's travel photo is of a herd of wildebeest in front of a huge flock of flamingos on a lake in Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania. I was amazed by the huge herds of animals that live in Ngorongoro. Unlike other parks in Tanzania, there is water here all year round, so the animals never need to [...]
I saw quite a few hyenas while on safari in Tanzania, however it wasn't until I got to Ngorongoro Crater that I could get close enough to get a decent photo of one. There were several hyenas in this particular spot, mostly just lazing around in the grass near a herd of wildebeest. They were [...]
I'm not going to say where I took this photo, but this was certainly a very special moment while on safari in Africa. We had been watching this black rhino off in the distance for some time and had then come across a pride of lions hiding in the grass further along. The lions were [...]
While on safari in Serengeti National Park, Tanzania, I quickly noticed that the safari drivers often stop to share information and wildlife sightings. It was because of this that we learnt that there were two lions mating nearby. When we got to the site, there were already heaps of other safari vehicles there watching the [...]
While on safari in Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania, we spotted some lions hiding in the tall grass. While stopped to take photos, this lioness walked right by our vehicle, not even caring about us at all. This was yet another amazing sight during my time on safari in Tanzania.
I was excited when I woke up on my first morning in Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. The day before had been eventful with lots of wildlife sightings as we drove through the park on our way to camp. Today however, we would spend the entire day on safari. I took this photo of this [...]
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 [...]
Like most people going on safari in Serengeti National Park in Northern Tanzania, I was thinking only of the amazing wildlife that I would encounter when I ventured there a few months ago. What caught me by surprise was that the Serengeti Plain is just so much more beautiful than I could have ever possibly [...]
My first African safari experience was in the small Lake Manyara National Park, located on the shores of Lake Manyara in Tanzania. I had spent the morning driving from Arusha with the rest of my safari group, before exploring the small town of Mto wa Mbu where we had set up camp. The afternoon was [...]
