'lucky I had as much time to spend ...'

Get ready to be inspired by the stunning wildlife photographs taken by our guest Alex Fine on his Safari through Tanzania.

Alex zig-zagged through Serengeti, Tarangire, to wild Katavi, Ruaha, and Selous. Alex was supposed to have gone to Mahale Mountains to see the chimps but injured his foot about two months before his Safari. Next time Alex! Can’t wait to see what you capture there as well.

What were some of your favorite things to see on Safari?
”That's kinda hard to pick. The crossing obviously are amazing to see. Watching the hippos (upwind of course) fight in their pools was fun to watch (Hamza and I are sad we missed the hippos killing a crocodile). Ruaha was great because of the lion cubs we spent 4 hours with, and then seeing the Cheetahs hunt (well, kinda hunt). The wild dogs in Katavi (the 6 hours in the morning) were amazing to just watch the animals play and be themselves. I was lucky I had as much time to spend there as I did, as it let me spend 2-3 hours waiting for the cheetahs to hunt, or spend a morning with the lion cubs or dogs, instead of trying to fit everything into a few days.”

Alex is a world traveler [check his instagram]. When asked about our services, he said, “You were most helpful. This was a very different experience for me. I had someone else handle organizing/ booking/ coordinating, so it was very foreign (and a little nerve-wracking) to leave someone else in control. I think you did a good job.”.

Alex, it was a pleasure working with you planning your Safari. Looking forward to taking you to Mahale Mountains and hopefully some other parts of East and Southern Africa as well.

What will you see on your Journey To Africa Safari? Let’s find out shall we.

Come ‘feel the love’ as inspired by The Lion King

I'm not lion when I say that the life-like movie doesn't even compare to the real thing. My husband, kids and I just got back from our Safari and I'd like to share 4 things that’ll make you feel royal like Simba and Nala.

#1: See the real-life Simba and Nala
While we were in Masai Mara we got to spend some time up-close and personal with a lion couple. They weren't singing, but while watching them we could definitely feel the love that night.

#2: Experiencing the Circle of Life
With the Maasai Tribe in Ngorongoro, we danced, sang and learned how to make a fire. They showed us how they live and taught us about their livestock. Fun fact: they let the baby animals stay in their boma (home) with them!

#3: The Elephant in the Room
We saw SO MANY elephants in Masai Mara, Amboseli, and Tarangire. At one point we counted a herd of about 80 + elephants including the babies!! They say an elephant never forgets, and my kids will never forget the time they got to spend with them.

#4: Serene Serengeti Sunsets
On our last day in Serengeti, we climbed a million-year-old rock (called a kopje) to watch the sunset. We all enjoyed popcorn and our drink of choice. Sitting and watching the sunset with my kids was definitely a "hakuna matata" moment.

You better "Mufasa" if you want to go on a Safari next summer!
