Discovering A World of Diversity in 72 Hours
I’m a planner. For me, figuring out the details of a trip is just as much fun as the actual travel. But not surprisingly, I discovered that the most meaningful experiences are often the unexpected ones.
PhotoPOSTcard: A Baobab Sunset
We were treated to a spectacular sunset on our last evening on safari in Tanzania’s Tarangire National Park. One of the things that made this park unique from the others we had visited was not the animal life, but rather, the plant life – the baobab trees to be specific. The distinctly wide and bulbous … Continue reading “PhotoPOSTcard: A Baobab Sunset”

The attention of every single herd beast in the area was focused on the … Continue reading “PhotoPOSTcard: It’s Tough Being At the Top of the Food Chain”

We saw many, many hippos on our various game drives in Africa, but I quickly discovered that it is very difficult to get a good picture of a hippo. Most of the time they are under water or just barely sticking out their … Continue reading “PhotoPOSTcard: Hippo Love”
