After 6 months of travelling many things have happened. I saw whalesharks in Mozambique, heard lions roaring in Serengeti, smelled exotic spices in Zanzibar. Froze on the way to the summit of Kilimanjaro and sweated in the deserts of Oman. Met Xhosa people with painted faces in South Africa, sipped black tea with Pakistani workers in the Emirates and walked with Buddhist monks around stupas in Nepal...

Serengeti and Ngorongoro

March 25, 2009

tired from hunting, early morning in Serengeti

Game drive is the right activity after climbing Kilimanjaro. We spent the first day with choosing the right company (which was not very good) and driving to Lake Manyara National Park. The evening game drive was nice, we saw elephants, hippos, monkeys but no cats. The park is known for Lions that climb trees. The lake is part of the Rift Valley, the landscape is great.
Next morning we started early and left for Serengeti NP. On the way we had a first look down to 600m deep Ngorongoro Crater that has an immense density of animals. We just saw black dots from the distance. In the afternoon to Serengeti gate. The game drive en-route was amazing, Lions just 15 min after we entered the park. Before we arrived at the campsite we saw a cheetah, a leopard, herd of zebras, gnus, antelopes...
To be continued, have to catch the flight to UAE
