Last December, we had a chance to visit Africa. The first stop was the climb of Mt. Meru (4,650m), then a safari to the Northern Parks of Tanzania and finally an outback adventure to Southern Tanzania game reserve and national parks.
Each park visited is very unique and well worth a visit. Our true favorite was the Serengeti, with sighting of leopards at Seronera, the wildebeest migration at Ndutu and prides of lions devouring a kill at Lobo.
The eighth wonder of the world, Ngorongoro Crater, came as a close second. We spotted the last animal of the Big 5 family (Black rhino, elephant, hippo, lion and leopard).
In third place comes Ruaha National Park. Today, you can still experience the “old time” safari, with animals displaying their wild behaviors and hiding from cars and humans.
Arusha, Lake Manyara, Tarangire and Selous game reserve were outstanding for viewing and photography opportunities.
If an African safari is on your future travel list, feel free to contact me for advices and trip planning. This is an experience of a life time not to be missed.
Until the next adventure, travel safe (more pictures).
