Our safari to Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Lake Natron

Experiencing the wildebeest migration and especially the crossing of the Mara River in the north of the Serengeti in August has been high on our wish list for some time. We had already been to the north of the Serengeti eight years ago, but the travel organization we had booked with had not built enough […]

May is a beautiful month to go

Tanzania is very welcoming and everyone is friendly. Not for a moment did I feel unsafe. You can eat tastefully here. At the places I visited, the cuisine was very hygienic. Thus, I did not get any intestinal problems! The Serengeti was special, fantastic and intense. Not expecting to see so much wildlife from so […]

Only the images

“Pictures speak louder than words…” says Hanno, who went on a wonderful safari in northern Tanzania with his son Felix; Arusha, Lake Manyara National Park, Karatu and Serengeti. Check out some of his beautiful photos here and judge for yourself.

Adventurous self drive

We love active holidays and like a bit of adventure. When we understood that you could also book a self-drive safari through Explore Tanzania – without a guide and without someone to arrange the food for you – we quickly agreed that we had to do that. Although the latter was still a thing. I […]

Where our primal mother Lucie lived …

Dear Marjolein and Paul, I think it was  pretty obvious iced that I attached great importance to this journey, which was to become and has become a reflection of the warm bond I have with my sons. The seed of our interest in the African wilderness and its wildlife was planted when we were invited […]

Not a single corona problem

Thanks to your perfectly arranged, but not cheap (together $ 230), Covid test, we didn’t have any corona problem during our vacation. All Tanzanians were very happy with our appearance. Guide George had not seen the Serengeti since February and was happy with this ending to the long idleness. He spoiled us with game drives […]

The Great Wildebeest Migration at Mara River I

Tanzania, Arusha and Serengeti September 15-16, 2020 Eef’s life expectancy is so bad that next Christmas has become a challenge. So we don’t have time to wait for a corona vaccine. Tanzania or East Africa may seem like a crazy choice, but for us a well-considered choice. To be clear, we are not going to […]

Solo in de Serengeti

After weeks of deliberation, we decided to go on safari in August. From the landing at Kilimanjaro Arport where the plane was “blessed” with water by the fire brigade (it was the first KLM flight since the covid outbreak) and we were welcomed by dancing Maasai on disembarkation to passport control leaving the country – […]

Driver’s skills

Knobel stuurmanskunst

Hello Marjolein! We have been able to make a wonderful journey. We finally let Selous pass – the reports about the accumulated wetness and blubber were too dramatic to want to go there self-driving. We “did” Mikumi and Ruaha the first half of the trip. We saw an incredible amount and variety of game, plus […]
