  • Driving in Ngorongoro National Park

    Our super friendly tour guide allowed us to drive his Toyota Landcruiser on the final day. I wasn’t too keen on breaking his vehicle, so let Basia take over the driving duties. She did an awesome job and didn’t break the truck ๐Ÿ™‚

  • Hot air balloon above the Serengeti

    We didn’t fly in the balloon, but it was fun to see it whizzing over our heads.

  • Me at Tempelhofer feld

    Mo took this slightly artsy photo of me during a walk around Tempelhofer feld in Berlin.

  • Rhino

    This stunning piece of photography is of the only rhinoceros we saw in Tanzania. It was in Ngorongoro National Park and it was a really long way away. This photo was taken through binoculars and cropped into oblivion. The blur of dark grey pixels in middle, is the rhino ๐Ÿ˜‰

  • Leopard

    During our safari tour, we found all of the “big five” animals, lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino and … not the last one, the leopard. We were still happy, but after exiting the park area our tour guide suddenly hit the brakes and told us to look out the right hand side. Sure enough, slowly meandering along the road was this epic looking leopard. He gave absolutely zero fucks about us whatsoever. I wound down the window and extended my arms as far out of the window as possible to get this photo. After very slowly plodding past us, he just walked on up a bank and disappeared into the green bush.

  • Basia and I in Zanzibar

    Shot from the beach in Zanzibar. The water there was incredible. I spent ages just floating about on my back. It was the perfect temperature to just relax in the water.

  • Giraffes in Tarangire National Park

    A beautiful herd of giraffes we spotted meandering their way across Tarangire National Park.

  • Monkey in Tarangire National Park

    This little rascal was running around a picnic area stealing bananas. Our tour guide said we could eat bananas when he was at the table, but that if he left or we walked away from him, that the moneys would attack. I was confused. Why would they avoid him, but not us? The answer was simple, the monkeys there are racist! He explained that they do not steal bananas from black people, but they do from white people. Sure enough, we looked over to where some white people were eating lunch without a black person at the table, and the monkeys charged over and stole their bananas. Our table was safe ๐Ÿ™‚
