  • I am seeing all of the wildlife on this trip. Elephants swimming between islands, crocs sunning themselves on shore, and hungry hungry hippos showing off their teeth. Lake Kariba, Zimbabwe.
  • You can drink all of the famous natural landmarks in Africa. Tanzania has Serengeti and Kilimanjaro beers. Zimbabwe has Zambezi. #africalife #worldbeers #instaafrica #zimbabwe
  • The blue of the ocean off the coast of Zanzibar is amazing. #zanzibar #africalife #indianocean #instaafrica #instatravel
  • This cute little marmot-like mammal is a hyrax. They live near rocky areas, like the welcome center at the Serengeti, where they hang out near people, waiting to score some food.
  • Ready for another cold shower! Our group of 15 travelers is roughing it on this trip through Africa, camping in tents, enduring nightly downpours, and waking as early as 4 am to drive all day to the next campsite. No complaints, it's all part of the experience. So far we've had baboons and cape buffalo wander through our camps. Once in the Serengeti I encountered a hyena near the bathroom. That was potentially scary, but it ran off when it saw the beam of my flashlight. Lots of fun and challenging experiences so far, and I'm looking forward to the remaining month!
  • In Malawi we stumbled upon a rubber tree forest. Dozens of trees are strategically cut to allow milky latex (30% rubber) to drip out for collection.
  • I had no idea how gorgeous Malawi is. Beautiful colors with the green of the forested hills and the blue of Lake Malawi, which covers 20% of the country.
  • Cloudy but colorful sunset in the Serengeti. #serengeti #africalife #africatravel #sunsetpics #sunsets
