Serengeti Travel Blog › entry 41 of 46 › view all entries

Welcome to my travel blog. We only live ONCE (unless you are Buddhist). And lately, I wanted to do something about that. So I decided to explore the world to make some kind of pilgrimage. So I left what I have to find what I don't. I'll be traveling for seven months to France, Germay, Turkey, India, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Etiopia, and Tanzania. I hope you enjoy my stories, photos and experiences. "All you touch and all U see is all your life will ever be."

The perfect African safari in the Serengeti.....

My African sunrise got even better!!!

I’m going to just let the photos do the talking here. Safaris are to see, not read. 

 

All I can say is that my safari was perfect.  The perfect guide.  The perfect 4X4 jeep.  The perfect friend to share it with.  The perfect path down each road.  I saw everything I could ever dream of seeing.  As a human, I began to realize that I am truly just a small part of this world - one creature in one lifetime.  I felt vulnerable camping in our thin little tent in the middle of the Serengeti and walking to the bathroom at night with animals all around, eyes piercing through the bushes, and noises screeching through the night.  It was amazing to see so many different animals living amongst one another - some enjoying every minute of their lives and others struggling to survive.  It reminds me of the rest of the world - the human world.  Why are some animals born to be lions with NO predators?  Why are others born as tiny and thin gazelle with dozens of predators lurking about…..?  Why was I born a healthy boy in California and not a poor Omorate tribal girl in the Omo Valley, Ethiopia?  Who decides this?  What decides this?

 

We had some very amazing and “legendary” encounters with two different lion families.  You’ll need to ask me about them!  For now, enjoy the photos.
