An hour after our flight landed at Kogatende Airstrip we were on the banks of the Mara River watching a wildebeest crossing. We couldn’t believe our luck. Our safari was already a success and everything else would be icing on the cake. And, boy did we get a lot of icing.
Ten Days Of Amazing Wildlife Encounters!
Observing These Animals In The Wild Was Just Incredible!
A Tanzanian safari, and specifically the great migration, had been on our bucket list for more than 30 years. When we finally started planning, we knew we wanted to do it right. For us, that meant a private safari. We did our research, and decided to go with Africa Dream Safaris, and Dawn helped put together an itinerary that covered our extensive wish list! After 18 months of looking at photos, the ADS website, Facebook page, and ADS handbook, it was finally time for our safari.
Beauty And Violence Side By Side, One And The Same…
Serengeti. In the Maasai language it means “endless plains”. But it is a land of deception. Born from a volcanic eruption three and half million years ago, she has not forgotten her past. She harbors vast savannas, wetlands, and forests. From the heights of Kilimanjaro and Mount Meru to the river Mara. You cannot trust your own eyes. Beauty and violence side by side, one and the same. As the day begins over the river, you don’t see the hippos and crocodiles just below the surface. The shadows and reflections hide the danger.
Bill and Cyndi’s Safari Story!
We’d had a Serengeti National Park safari on our bucket list for several years, but we weren’t sure if it was ever going to come to fruition. However, one of my wife’s good friends booked a safari through Africa Dream Safaris (ADS) and was thoroughly impressed with the results, so we decided to give it a go. We were not disappointed!
