Tanzania 6: Parting thoughts. If you go…

Tanzania 6: Parting thoughts. If you go…

If you go:   We organized our trip through Expert Africa, who have teams on the ground throughout Africa. We stayed in Nomad Tanzania camps in the Serengeti – Migration camp in the south and Lamai in the north near the Mara River. Lamai was a highlight of the trip – Read More

Tanzania 5: Zanzibar

Tanzania 5: Zanzibar

Is there a more exotic-sounding destination than Zanzibar? We hop on the tiny Coastal 12 seater plane and skip from the Northern to Central to Southern Serengeti, on to Arusha and over to Zanzibar. After 5 hours of this, the plane is no longer cute and is just a flying tin Read More

Tanzania 4: Hunters and Gatherers

The Lamai Lion Pride of 22 lions, including two adult males, lords it over the northern Serengeti on the Kenyan border of the Mara river.  We come upon them twice in two days: once having devoured an eland, the largest African antelope, so full they could barely waddle 10 steps Read More

Tanzania 2: Ngorongoro Crater and Southern Serengeti

Tanzania 2: Ngorongoro Crater and Southern Serengeti

Eastern edge of the Ngorongoro Crater, collapsed caldera. Jaw-dropping. Elevation 9,000 feet. We leave Gibbs Farm (reluctantly) and head up, up, up to the Ngorongoro Crater and the rough “outback” road carved into the rim to access the few lodges scattered on the perimeter, offering stunning views of eternal primitive Read More

Tanzania 1: Arusha, Lake Manyara, Gibbs Farm

  “Can I hold the baby?” A baboon offers her friend a helping hand so she can eat her stolen snack. We arrive in Arusha, at the foot of Mt Kilimanjaro in Tanzania after escaping showstorms in Boston and  Amsterdam.   It’s dark and steamy and blowing hot wind as 350 Read More
