The Serengeti – African Safari
I am running behind with updating my blog with photos. I have some more photos from South America and a lot from Africa, where I was in february/march. So I decided to show you some photos from Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. I will be be posting more photos from my safari in the following days/weeks so be sure to come back.

Acacia trees on the Serengeti plains
The Serengeti is located in north Tanzania and extends to south-western Kenya and it spans some 30.000 km2. The Serengeti hosts the largest mammal migration in the world, which is one of the ten natural travel wonders of the world.
Maasailand has East Africa’s finest game areas. The governments of Tanzania and Kenya maintain a number of Protected Areas: parks, conservation areas, game reserves, etc. that give legal protection to over 80% of the Serengeti.
Altitudes in the Serengeti range from 920 to 1,850 meters with mean temperatures varying from 15 to 25 degrees Celsius. Although the climate is usually warm and dry, rainfall occurs in two rainy seasons: March to May, and a shorter season in October and November.
The Serengeti was used as inspiration for the animated Disney feature film The Lion King and subsequent theatrical production.

I have been to a few parks in Tanzania during my trip, but the Serengeti was the largest. Every park has its own advantages, animals, secrets…but more on others later on.

AFRICA – Nature and Wildlife
Going on a Safari was a dream for me for a long time. This dream finally came true this year.
I can’t describe how amazing it is to see wild animals in their natural habitat. I remember all of those amazing shows on National Geographic and other channels, but this was soooo much better. It was phenomenal!
Scenes from the following movie were shot in Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Manyara and Tarangire national parks in Tanzania.
Remember to turn on the speakers, watch it in HD and please let me know what you think:) (leave a comment or hit tweet or like). Thanks!
You can also watch the movie on my video subpage. Click here.
Postcard from Serengeti
I am back home from a Safari in Tanzania. It was a great experience and I would go back in a heartbeat. Currently I am fully occupied with my college so it may take a while for me to edit and post some more photos. I will do my best. In the meanwhile…

South American Llamas
The llama (Lama glama) is a South American camelid, widely used as a pack and meat animal by Andean cultures since pre-hispanic times.
The llama and alpaca are only known in the domestic state, and are variable in size and of many colors, being often white, brown, or piebald. Some are grey or black. The guanaco and vicuña are wild, the former being endangered, and of a nearly uniform light-brown color, passing into white below. They certainly differ from each other, the vicuña being smaller, more slender in its proportions, and having a shorter head than the guanaco. The vicuña lives in herds on the bleak and elevated parts of the mountain range bordering the region of perpetual snow, amidst rocks and precipices, occurring in various suitable localities throughoutPeru, in the southern part of Ecuador, and as far south as the middle of Bolivia.

Peru’s Andean Condors
As the sun’s first rays slant into the depths of Colca Canyon in southern Peru, Andean condors begin to ascend, riding morning thermals on outstretched wings as they scour the landscape for a meal of carrion.
The species is listed by the World Conservation Union as “vulnerable.” One of the world’s largest flying birds, the condor soars on three-meter wingspans and can weigh up to 15 kilograms.
Today, one of the best places to see the Andean condor is the semi-arid Colca Canyon, a marvel twice as deep as the Grand Canyon located about 160 kilometers north of Arequipa, Peru’s second largest city.
