wildlife tour serengeti/ngorogoro crater

Despite the high costs, visiting the Serengeti plains and the Ngorogoro crater was considered as a Must. Travel with my Landrover wasn’t affordable, so i booked a tour by group. With bad maintenanced cars we drove the long was from Arusha into Serengeti area. First rule; never trust the words of a tour agencies. I’m not gonna start a list of all false promises and failures this overpriced tour brought me, but just tell you, that there was no tour group at all, which get what they told them.

The wildlife, landscape and experience of „real Africa“ was given. The following pics was chosen in a hurry. Sorry for not editing (at all), but just put it on my blog. I hope you still enjoy and get an idea about Serengeti and Ngorogoro Crater

Marangu’s village life

Marangu. There’s not much to say, but only to enjoy that calm, tranquil village on foot of Mt.Kilimanjaro. For a long weekend i could enjoy the hospitality of these friendly people and had a little inside of their daily village life.

Coffee from Kilimanjaro

Early morning. Cool, pure air surrounds the highest mountain of Africa. With the first sun rays, light clouds start to gather around the peak. In the next hours the clouds get thicker and hiding Kilimanjaro behind it. The climate here is just perfect for coffee plantages. We learned the process after harvest coffee beans, peel the skin off the beans, roast it over fire and grind it to fine powder. Much fun, but also hard work and very interesting to see.

flight over africa

A small crappy vid made by my cellphone from the flight from Schiphol/Amsterdam to Kilimanjaro airport/Tanzania
The view over mountains, sea and deserts with all its colors and formations was just stunning.

Tanzania: Ruaha National Park

On early morning we spotted a zebra with a big, fresh wound. Certainly from a recently predators attack. It looks still strong and wanders with the herd. A young elephant had less luck. Five lions killed it and have a big feast when we arrived at that spot. We weren’t there alone for long as more and more safari vehicle found out about. Lucky we had a fine view from our place.

Frühmorgens entdeckten wir ein humpelndes Zebra in einer Herde. Auf der hinteren Flanke klaffte eine grosse, frische Wunde. Offensichtlich entging es diesen Morgen einem Angriff nur knapp. Weniger Glück hatte das Elephantenkalb, das bereits von fünf Löwen ausgeweidet wurde. Nach dem Festmahl, umstellt von mehreren „Safari“-Fahrzeugen, legten sie sich satt und schwer in die Büsche.
