Tanzania #1: Safari (December 2008)

"Safari" means "journey" in Swahili, and is one word that has found its way into many other languages. A Safari now commonly means a trip to Africa to see and photograph wildlife. Possibly the two best places to do this and see plenty of big game are found in Tanzania: the Serengeti plains and the Ngorongoro Crater.

Tanzania #2: Kilimanjaro and Zanzibar (December 2008)

The final 2 weeks of 2008 I spent in Tanzania. During the first week I joined a traditional safari, and the second week was to get to know some other aspects of this country. From Marangu I did a day hike up to the Mandara hut of Mount Kilimanjaro. And on Zanzibar I spent many hours roaming around in Stone Town and visited Jozani Forest (a tentative WHS). This was my first visit to Eastern Africa, and I found it a worthwhile new experience in general.
