This majestic beast caught a gazelle right in front of us (I didn’t catch it on camera unfortunately). Our friendly tour guide drove over to it so that we could have a good look. It seemed a bit grumpy at us for being there though. I think it thought we were going to take away […]
Some hippo’s we saw in Ngorongoro National Park.

Our super friendly tour guide allowed us to drive his Toyota Landcruiser on the final day. I wasn’t too keen on breaking his vehicle, so let Basia take over the driving duties. She did an awesome job and didn’t break the truck 🙂
We didn’t fly in the balloon, but it was fun to see it whizzing over our heads.
Mo took this slightly artsy photo of me during a walk around Tempelhofer feld in Berlin.
This stunning piece of photography is of the only rhinoceros we saw in Tanzania. It was in Ngorongoro National Park and it was a really long way away. This photo was taken through binoculars and cropped into oblivion. The blur of dark grey pixels in middle, is the rhino 😉
During our safari tour, we found all of the “big five” animals, lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino and … not the last one, the leopard. We were still happy, but after exiting the park area our tour guide suddenly hit the brakes and told us to look out the right hand side. Sure enough, slowly meandering […]
Shot from the beach in Zanzibar. The water there was incredible. I spent ages just floating about on my back. It was the perfect temperature to just relax in the water.
A beautiful herd of giraffes we spotted meandering their way across Tarangire National Park.
This little rascal was running around a picnic area stealing bananas. Our tour guide said we could eat bananas when he was at the table, but that if he left or we walked away from him, that the moneys would attack. I was confused. Why would they avoid him, but not us? The answer was […]
Monkeys at Cheetah Rock wildlife sanctuary.
This is one of the worlds only domesticated zebra’s. We saw it at the Cheetah Rock wildlife sanctuary.
We got to see this stunningly beautiful tiger at the Cheetah Rock wildlife sanctuary. The first image was taken as close as it looks, and no, there was no cage protecting me! We had to sit with our butts firmly planted against the edge of his cage, while the sanctuary worker took this majestic beast […]
We saw this amazing lions at the Cheetah Rock wildlife sanctuary.
This amazing little puma was locked in a tiny little cage at Cheetah Rock wildlife sanctuary. This looked harsh, but his carers explained that he had been injured when sent from a zoo to their sanctuary as he didn’t cope well with being caged like that. So they were training him to be around humans […]
We saw this adorable lemur at the Cheetah Rock wildlife sanctuary.
Up close and personal with a hyena at the Cheetah Rock wildlife sanctuary in Zanzibar.
It’s weird seeing products you’ve worked on show up in Facebook ads. I had a similar experience with MitoQ too.
My first attempt at making sushi. It tasted great ?
Basia and I visited Cheetah Rock, an animal sanctuary in Zanzibar. Unsurprisingly, a cheetah is the main attraction. This particular Cheetah will never be able to return to the wild due to being too domesticated, but this thankfully meant that we were allowed to pet him. I took over camera duties rather than petting the […]
One would think that when you’ve driven past a bunch of lions, cheetahs, hyena’s and other scary animals, that one would panic when your vehicle gets stuck in the mud. But our trusty driver had no hesitation in hopping out to assist another stricken vehicle. After a while, we got bored just sitting around, so […]
The Undiecar Championship will be ending soon. Many little boys dream of becoming a racing driver. I had that dream, but I also dreamed of running my own race car series. I was always frustrated with how major racing series were run. I always felt they took themselves too seriously. Isn’t the point of sport […]
We got to see these cool little tortoises in the Cheetah Rock wildlife sanctuary in Zanzibar.
I stood on something in Zanzibar, and yelped when I saw I’d stomped on this little dude. Thankfully he seemed to take it pretty well and just kept on trucking.
I have no idea what this little dude was, but he landed directly beside me while staying at a beach side hotel in Zanzibar.
I assembled a pile for cushions to block the air conditioner from hitting Cassienne, and we decided it looked like an art exhibit ?
View of the lush green hills surrounding Ngorongoro national park in Tanzania.
We visited a spice farm in Zanzibar. If you ever go to Tanzania, then I highly recommend this for an afternoon activity. The people running the spice farm were super friendly and excited to share their knowledge of the spice industry. They also farmed a lot of fruit, which was a lot tastier and more […]
Check out this giant termite mound we found in Tarangire national park in Tanzania!
A beautiful herd of zebras came plowing over this hill in Tarengire national park, to come drink from the river.
We met these little guys at the entrance to the Serengeti national park in Tanzania. Documentaries I had seen explained that baboons would tear your face off at the first opportunity, but we were surrounded by swarms of them and they were mostly quite standoffish around us. They were more interested in breaking into cars […]
Food isn’t a strong point of Tanzania in my opinion. But while there, Basia and I did manage to track down a couple of restaurants with decent food.
Near the entrance to Serengeti national park, I found a large number of chameleon’s hanging out on rocks. Unfortunately, they usually ran away whenever I tried to get near, but I did manage to snap this picture of one of these little beauties before it took off.
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! […]
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 […]

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 […]
Some photos from a recent trip to Magdeburg.
Tanay was making a video of our trip back Magdeburg on the train, so I snapped this picture of his setup with my new camera.
