Nine days of Safari behind us, we were really looking forward to sun, sand and emerald water – Zanzibar. The “classical Safari add-on”. 10 days on the island and no plans except idly lazing around. FavoriteRead More →

The highest density of wildlife? Of course – the Ngorongoro Conservation Area! A unique landscape and big game, wherever you look: Ephants, Zebras, Buffalos, Gazelles and – yes! – Rhinos. And one of the densest known populations of lions. Any other wishes? FavoriteRead More →
