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.

Las Salinas de Maras, Cuzco, Peru
In the Sacred Valley of the Incas, 40 kilometers north of Cuzco there is a town of Maras. The town is known for its salt evaporation ponds, in use since the Inca times. The salt ponds cascade down the side of a canyon while the warm to hot water source flows out the side of the mountain. The water is very salty and you can taste it on the site. It is an extraordinary place to see and in definitely worth the visit. I have never seen such salt ponds so high in the mountains.
Colors in Paradise, Philippines
Being at the right place at the right time, capturing exactly the right moment and using the right exposure are one of the key elements of capturing great shots.

Rice terraces, Philippines
Asia is filled with rice fields, but nowhere are they as spectacular an art form as on Philippines. These giant stairways are best seen if you hike on them. It can be tricky sometimes to hold your balance. These fields extend for as far as the eye can see and they truly are one of the “Wonders of the World”. Philippines have 7107 islands, but I say that every village has at least 7107 rice terraces and I have probably seen all of them. So next time when you cook rice at home, remember from where it might have come.
Postcards from Philippines
After 35 hours in transit, I am finally home. Philippines were great, people are friendly and the scenery is amazing. For now, here are just a few images I took during my 3 week long trip. I have been hiking in the northern Luzon, diving on Palawan and much more… Stay tuned for more…
