Today's travel photo is of a giraffe eating from a tree in Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. You can't see it in this photo, but the tree that the giraffe is eating from is covered in lots of nasty thorns. The thorns don't seem to bother the giraffes though, which I guess is thanks to [...]
Today's travel photo is of a hartebeest on the grassy plains of Serengeti National Park, Tanzania. Hartebeest are one of the larger species of antelope found in Serengeti, and their large size means that they are a much harder prey for predators who prefer to go for the smaller antelopes. I took this photo on [...]
I hope you all had a good Christmas and are enjoying the holidays where ever you are in the world. Today's travel photo is a morning view of the Serengeti Plain in Northern Tanzania. I took this photo from my camp when I woke up in the morning. The rising sun was just lighting up [...]
Today's travel photo is of a Thompson's Gazelle in Serengeti National Park, Tanzania. The Thompson's Gazelle is one of the most numerous species of antelope in the Serengeti.

The stars of the show were definitely the four cute lion cubs that were playing by a waterhole with two lionesses. This photo is of three of them trying to have [...]
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 [...]
On our first day in Serengeti National Park, Tanzania, we had to stop at the head quarters to sort out our National Park passes. These beautiful Superb Starlings were all over the place here, and I couldn't get over how colourful they are. It took quite a few goes to get a decent photo as [...]
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 [...]
