Having had a busy season this year, there has not been much time to post about our adventures (although I confess to a certain amount of procrastination too!). A subject of a delicate nature with those who have kept up with their posts!
Starting our safari on the night of a full lunar eclipse, we made our way from Arusha leisurely north. Starting with an afternoon in Manyara National park with some amazing close up views of elephant.
Overnighting in the wonderful Plantation lodge and taking in the Ngorongoro Crater the following day. Onward to the Serengeti, we found some amazing 'rock star' lions perched on the kopjies in central Serengeti on the way to our mobile camp, set up in the Western Corridor, specially to catch up with the migration.
Scores of wildebeest and zebra with the cacophony of noise that goes with the wildebeest at this time of year; rutting season.
A balloon flight, bush breakfasts and on to the northern Serengeti for the last few days of our safari.
What a pleasure to arrive there and experience untrammeled Africa without the crowds! Out of season is definitely the way to travel these days.
Leopard, lion and cheetah in our time here not to mention wonderful vistas of seas of grass with zebra and topi navigating their way across the plains.
