I felt the rains down in Africa!

I had a "once in a lifetime" journey through parts of Tanzania including Kilimanjaro, Arusha, the Serengeti, the Ngorongoro Crater, and the island of Zanzibar in May.

I was there during the long rains and when it rained it poured!

Literally thousands of migrating Yellow Billed Storks

Lioness resting after a meal and kill. The females (as is the case with the humans) take care of dinner. 

I was doing some work at two colleges as well as being a tourist.

I have so many stories but the highlights are summarized here - the people, the animals and the land and sea in that order.

I hope to return to Africa one day and see and learn more.
