The land

We started in the Eastern Serengeti, rolling hills, grasses and acacia trees, home to grazers and those who fed on them. When we arrived it was like driving into Eden seeing all these animals together.
With each place we visited the landscape would change until we reached tropical Zanzibar, with it's white beaches and palm trees.  Tarangire was baobabs- the "upside down tree". The Ngorongoro Crater was a mixed habitat for all. Olduvai Gorge was harsh, dry and old -geology and archaeology abounds.   The Central Serngeti ties to millions  of acres of mixed terrain which allows for the incredible diversity that travels through there. Ruaha was dense grasses and thick low woods. Now Zanzibar- palm trees and bougainvillea, populated and visited by Africans and Europeans alike.
