Today's travel photo is of a group of elephants in Lake Manyara National Park, Tanzania. I was so happy when we spotted this group of elephants during our safari in the park, as before this I had only seen one other elephant and that was at a distance. There were actually quite a few elephants [...]
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 [...]
Getting up close with a pride of lions in Serengeti National Park, Tanzania, is one of the highlights from my travels in the country. 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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
While camping at Flanagan Reserve in South East Queensland, Australia, we managed to enjoy at least a few hours of beautiful sunshine. It turned out that we weren't the only ones who were over the wet weather as several large Goannas came out to wonder through our camp and enjoy the warm heat of the [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
I was recently asked by Groupon if I would like to try out their services. I had heard of them before, but had never actually visited the site to see what it's all about. Groupon offers huge discounts on local products and services in your city, from restaurants to leisure activities, and when I visited [...]
