Today's travel photo is of a Thompson's Gazelle in Serengeti National Park, Tanzania. The Thompson's Gazelle is one of the most numerous species of antelope in the Serengeti. In fact, there are about half a million of them - so you will see them everywhere if you go on safari in the park. Obviously, they [...]
Today's travel photo is of a group of elephants in Lake Manyara National Park, Tanzania. I was so happy when we spotted this group of elephants during our safari in the park, as before this I had only seen one other elephant and that was at a distance. There were actually quite a few elephants [...]
Today's travel photo is a view of the long trail across the desolate alpine desert landscape on Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania. I took this photo on day four of my trek to the summit of the mountain. We had stopped for a short break on a rocky ridge, which gave me this view of the path [...]
Today's travel photo is of a tinga tinga artist in the village of Mto wa Mbu in Northern Tanzania. Tinga Tinga is the traditional paintings in Tanzanian art. I took this photo at a work shop while wandering around the village and I was really taken away by the colours put into their paintings. These [...]
Today's travel photo is of a herd of wildebeest in front of a huge flock of flamingos on a lake in Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania. I was amazed by the huge herds of animals that live in Ngorongoro. Unlike other parks in Tanzania, there is water here all year round, so the animals never need to [...]
Instead of putting up a travel photo today, I've decided to put up a photo of this amazing painting of a lioness and her cub by talented artist Jane Delaford Taylor. Titled "Wild Mother", Jane used one of my photos from my Up Close with a Pride of Lions post from Serengeti National Park in [...]
Today's travel photo is a silhouette of a porter watching the sunset at Shira Hut on Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania. I took this photo while taking a short acclimatization walk from our camp on the Shira Plateau. The sunset from here was amazing, and this porter seemed to be enjoying it as well. The porters on [...]
Today's travel photo is of a lone Baobab Tree in the grassy plains around Lake Manyara in Tanzania. I spotted this tree first at a distance as we zoomed along the grassy plain towards a Masai village, but it quickly grew bigger as we drove past it to this point where we parked to get [...]
Getting up close with a pride of lions in Serengeti National Park, Tanzania, is one of the highlights from my travels in the country. The stars of the show were definitely the four cute lion cubs that were playing by a waterhole with two lionesses. This photo is of three of them trying to have [...]
I saw quite a few hyenas while on safari in Tanzania, however it wasn't until I got to Ngorongoro Crater that I could get close enough to get a decent photo of one. There were several hyenas in this particular spot, mostly just lazing around in the grass near a herd of wildebeest. They were [...]
