After green and also quite rainy Uganda (and after having found out that white water rafting on the nile is too exciting for me), having a three hours break between the trip coming from Uganda and picking up new passengers going down to Victoria Falls from Nairobi we made our way to the Serengeti and Ngorogoro Crater. Amongst lions, zebras, a python, an eagle owl eating a hedgehog, a leopard chilling out on a tree, elephants, giraffes…., we had a fantastic cheetah sight. Early in the morning this fellow was sitting on a big rock, first very sleepy, then getting up, looking around…. we all got very excited as it seemed that he was looking for food. He started to drink from a puddle on top of the rock, nervously looking around. Elephants walking in a far distance, gazelles but nothing very nearby… Eventually a grand gazelle pops out of the bushes near the rock. The cheetah looks, climbs down, starting to chase the gazelle…. 10 seconds later the gazelle made its way and the cheetah is giving up… what and exciting morning!!
After a long drive down from northern Tanzania to Dar es Salaam we hit the ferry to Zanzibar. Now enjoying ourselves relaxing in Stonetown and nearby white sandy beaches with crystal clear blue water… Pictures to be followed as soon as possible…
The great cheetah sight…
Ngorogor Crater…
an eagle owl…
Zanibar… half an hour rain in Stonetown… the rest of the days we had great weather, but I couldn´t be bothered to take any pictures…
and after three relaxing days on Zanzibar, back to work…:)
