Welcome to the Serengeti

We drove for 4 hours, maybe even more, to get to the western part of the Serengeti. Although you can fly from Arusha, you would miss all the amazing scenery along the way. We knew that this was going to be exciting as we already started to see big cats, even before we reached the gateway.

I dream of Tanzania

In the coldest of winters, my mind seeks respite in far off places in search of new adventures......

I visited a Flight Centre a couple of weeks ago and spoke to a travel agent about the best places to do safaris. He recommended Tanzania. Where else could you experience guaranteed sightings of the "Big 5", namely elephant, lion, leopard, buffalo and the rhinoceros? So I looked into this option more closely and discovered other wonderful bonuses: Game drives in the Serengeti, observing the famous wildebeest migration along the Ngorongoro Crater and paying homage to Olduvai Gorge, known to the intellectual world as "The Cradle of Mankind". I became convinced that this was going to be my next destination. Stay tuned as I begin preparations for an East African safari adventure!
