I have always liked the idea of a safari holiday as I love seeing and photographing wildlife, but Chris was not quite so enthusiastic. However, we usually try to accommodate each other’s travel wishes, and this trip was the result – a week on safari in Tanzania, followed by a second week exploring exotic Zanzibar and its evocative capital, Stone Town.

The trip more than lived up to expectations. I saw more elephants than I could possibly photograph, as well as lions, cheetahs, rhinos, hippos, zebra, giraffe, wildebeest ... We also saw a little of how people live in Tanzania, with visits to a school and to a Maasai village in Ngorongoro. We explored the crumbling streets of Stone Town, and finally relaxed in possibly the loveliest beach resort we have ever visited, Breezes on Zanzibar’s south east coast.

I have described our three main destinations (Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Zanzibar) in separate pages of their own. Here I will share some general perceptions about the country and give a brief overview of each of those destinations and also Lake Manyara where we spent only a few hours, (but had a BIG adventure – see my Warnings and Dangers tip. | | | A Zanzibar spice plantation |

A very nice overview, thanks for sharing | barryg23 Sun Oct 11, 2009 17:37 UTC
Great overview of Tanzania, Sarah, enjoyed reading your tips, rather scary elephant story though! We're planning to maybe visit Tanzania after Christmas, nothing booked yet, but it looks fantastic and I'd love to go. | HORSCHECK Mon Jul 20, 2009 20:59 UTC
Sarah, gorgeous overview of your Tanzania trip. Brilliant photos as well. I am glad to read that you finally escaped from the elephant trap. :-) | richiecdisc Sun May 24, 2009 19:35 UTC
Our dream trips overlap quite a bit but we've each done the "other" ones...kinda nice. Love the Bull Elephant shot and especially the people shots. |
