Africa Travel Question

Sat in Dar airport waiting for my flight to Nairbobi and hopefully getting my flight back to London tonight.

Had the most amazing trip. Saw all the big 5 plenty of times and;

1) Migration of Wilderbeast
2) Cheeta kill a gazzelle - have photos of it and its cubs eating it
3) Lion stalk, use our bus as cover, then hunt and kill a baby wilderbeast. Lion looked injured and was so hungry it didn't properly kill the poor wilderbeast and started to eat it alive. I have a video of it stalking and making the kill and plenty of photos as it dragged the animal into the shade of the bus infront of us.
4) A large bird eating a snake (i hate snakes)
5) A female lion doing a mating routine infront of a huge male in the road right in front of our bus. I have loads of pics.

I saw so much, but these were highlights. Spent the last week on Zanzibar in a huge bungalow on the beach.

Despite it being rainy season, we had rain for over night once and the rest was beatiful sun.

Oure guide said it was the best Safari he has done in 5 years and he hadn't seen a kill in 5 months !!!

Even met Bill Gates last night through my gf's uncle as he works for the Gates foundation to help Africans with banking and techbnology.

Now to get home.

 

Got about 600 photos, but put a few up on this link !

We actually spotted the Leopards kill in a tree nearby in the morning, but couldn't see the Leopard. It was probably asleep in the long grass really close to us. We returned early evening and found him chillin in the tree. About 4 more vans turned up and he woke up and got down and hid in the grass. So glad i saw it though.

 

Huh ?

 

Flew into Nairobi, had a day and a night there and then caught a bus to Arusha in Tanzania. We then started the Safari there. Started in Lake Manyara, which was a nice gentle start but didn't see anything that amazing here. Then two days in the Serengeti and the last day in the Ngon Gora Gora Crater.

We then flew from Arusha to Zanzibar for a week and back to London via Dar and Nairobi !

Loved every minute !

Going back to climb Kilimanjaro in Sept next year. Going to attempt the toughest route and maybe see if i can raise some money for charity.

 

Funny, couple of guys we did the Safari with had just done Kili and were talking about Everest base camp and that is deff something i want to do !

Kili has become very popular, especially the 'Coca Cola' route, but the toughest route up im told remains quiet.

You doing Base Camp Nige ?
