I’ve always thought of zebra’s as majestic animals. I never thought I would think of them like sheep on the side of the road, but after four days of plodding through the Tanzanian wilderness, they had just become the standard animal that see everywhere. It seemed that no matter where you looked, there were zebra’s! They are still majestic animals though 🙂
Basia and I went swimming with dolphins on Zanzibar in Tanzania. I definitely want to try this again some time. It was super fun.
I have no idea what this bird is, but it was a giant graceful thing which just slowly meandered into our camp site near Ngorongoro Conservation Area. It seemed to be very tolerant of humans and only backed off when I got right up in it’s face with a camera.
EDIT: David Lockie pointed out that this is probably a Caribou stork.
We got to hang out with some Bushbaby’s at the Cheetahs Rock animal sanctuary in Tanzania. Bushbaby’s are small primates which are native to Africa. They were very friendly and seemed to enjoy getting to hang out with humans for a bit.
I’ve seen elephants all of the world, but they have always been tortured animals kept in captivity. But when visiting Tarangire national park in Tanzania, I saw more elephants than I’d seen in the rest of my life, but they were free! These huge graceful animals were just plodding about the countryside and didn’t seem to give a damn about all the tourists driving around in trucks to come visit them.
Some photos from a recent trip to Magdeburg.
