Serengeti NP and Ngorongoro Conservation Area

   Posted by: Ania Kelvin    in Trans Africa

We’ve had an amazing time on our 2.5 days safari in the Ngorongoro and Serengeti. We managed to see the BIG FIVE in 24 hours! The scenery added to the experience – the crater views are simply breathtaking. For animal viewing one didn’t even need to have binoculars or a big zoom lense. We saw lions when they crossed our path! I never thought we were going to have our wild animals encounter this close. AMAZING! We absolutely loved it.

If you have a spare moment visit this site: http://www.serengeti.org/

We hope to add some of our photos soon.

Today we’re in Nakuru NP and have already seen 20 rhinos, a lioness, water buffalo, zebras, giraffes and millions (I think!) of pink flamingos! Tomorrow we’re off to Uganda and then Rwanda. Then the long-awaited Gorilla trekking!

Kande Beach, Malawi

   Posted by: Ania Kelvin    in Trans Africa

Malawi and its beautiful lake will definitely be well remembered! Yesterday we went horse riding and the adventure was nicely finished off with a swim in the lake. The swim was a little extraordinary since we went swimming with the horses! All this while we’re on the horses’ backs (no saddle). A fantastic experience!

We’re trying to catch up with some overdue updates to this blog.  With current internet access it’s not very easy. However we will if we can.

On Friday we’ll be catching a ferry to Zanzibar and we’re planning on staying on the island for 3 nights. Until next entry. Xoxoxoxo
