Serengeti National Park - June 2015 Safari - Images

Serengeti Western Corridor

I would love to share with you a few pictures I took yesterday in Western Corridor of Serengeti National Park in Tanzania, while on the short day trip with my friends visiting me. It was a nice day, though not without problems. Our safari vehicle broke down early in the morning in the park, we had to wait more than two hours for a replacement. Tse-tse flies feasted freely on us the whole day and I cam back home beaten more than a hundred times, I guess. Still, it was a good photo opportunity, even if in this time of the year, migration is far away and one can spot only a few residing animals which do not move with herds. Click here and enjoy the beauty of the land of wonders of Tanzania and its flora and fauna.

Sunrise In Serengeti

The last day of our safari from Arusha to Kiabakari was in Serengeti National Park. We spent the night at Lobo Wildlife Lodge in the northern part of the Park. I could not sleep after the whole day of trouble with the vehicle and struggle to get my visitors to safety of the lodge. So, after the sleepless night I went out early in the morning to take some pictures of the lodge at the dawn. Check the photos here...

Ngorongoro Conservation Area

Having spent the night in Karatu, some 14 kilometers from the Ngorongoro Conservation Area gate, we drove early in the morning to the Crater for a half day tour. A few pictures from the trip (click here)...

Lake Manyara National Park

Today we traveled from Arusha to Lake Manyara National Park. It took us a while to find Malarone tablets for my friends in Arusha, but we managed to get hold of them in two hours time. We reached the gate of the Lake Manyara National Park by midday and spent some five hours in the park. Then we climbed up the Great Rift Valley escarpment and arrived safely to Karatu town where we spend the night. Tomorrow morning we drive to Ngorongoro crater, then to Serengeti and will arrive, God willing, to Lobo Lodge by the nightfall. Some photos from today safari (click here)...

Safari Pictures

After thirteen hours long safari from Kiabakari to Arusha, with numerous breakdowns of our safari vehicle and brave struggle of our driver to fix broken shock absorber, leaking radiator etc, we finally got home to Moshono, to our SMA hosts' parish. As a pictorial of our journey, please visit the following ink to the pictures I took along the way (click here).

Sub Tuum Praesidium...

Sub tuum praesidium confugimus, Sancta Dei Genetrix. Nostras deprecationes ne despicias in necessitatibus, sed a periculis cunctis libera nos semper, Virgo gloriosa et benedicta. Amen. / We fly to thy patronage, O holy Mother of God; despise not our petitions in our necessities, but deliver us always from all dangers, O glorious and blessed Virgin. Amen...
