Michael Without Borders: December 2009

http://michaelwithoutborders.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html

Friday, 25 December 2009. Located between Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Oldupai Gorge. Is a fairly famous archaeological site which has given a lot of information as to our origins. During my safari we made a stop here at the museum and we learned a bit about the Leakeys (Mary and Louis) who spent decades there, uncovering many fossils that are millions of years old and may be from our ancestors. Here are some pictures of the gorge:. Thursday, 24 December 2009. The Serenge...

Michael Without Borders: Ngorongoro Crater

http://michaelwithoutborders.blogspot.com/2010/01/ngorongoro-crater.html

Sunday, 3 January 2010. Despite the name, Ngorongoro is not actually a crater, but a collapsed mountain or caldera. It is approximately 17km by 21km and about 600m deep. There is a very high concentration of wildlife inside the crater and the scenery is in general incredible. We saw a lot of animals here (though I didn't get video or pictures of the coolest thing we saw - hyenas making a kill) and I took some decent pictures. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Michael Without Borders: Serengeti National Park

http://michaelwithoutborders.blogspot.com/2009/12/serengeti-national-park.html

Thursday, 24 December 2009. After a long delay, I am finally back and will be able to post a lot in the coming week or so. It will take some time as I have to sort through a lot of pictures and do many other things upon my return to Canada. However, here is the next set of pictures. 20) A bird (very common there, but I don't know the name), 21) Basketweaver Birds (I think) and their nests, 22) Lions sleeping, 23) Giraffe.

Michael Without Borders: September 2009

http://michaelwithoutborders.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html

Tuesday, 29 September 2009. Well, it took almost a full 24 hours after leaving Hamilton, but I did eventually arrive in Dar Es Salaam. The flights were long, the food was mediocre at its best, but I made it here in one piece. Since I am not using my computer for this entry I will be very brief (I should be able to make longer posts in the future). My time is running out here, so I will sign off for now. Once again, thanks to everyone who helped get me here. Sunday, 27 September 2009. Where exactly are yo...

Michael Without Borders: Lake Manyara National Park

http://michaelwithoutborders.blogspot.com/2009/12/lake-manyara-national-park.html

Sunday, 13 December 2009. Lake Manyara National Park. The first stop on my safari was Lake Manyara National Park. Here are some pictures I took. Please note that I don't have a great camera and thus some of the animals are small. This park was by far the hardest to see animals in, so expect better pictures and more wildlife when I can get to posting pictures from the rest of my trip. Lake Manyara National Park.

Michael Without Borders: January 2010

http://michaelwithoutborders.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html

Wednesday, 6 January 2010. When most people think of going on vacation in Africa, they think of going on Safari. There is, however, a large cultural tourism industry - at least in Tanzania. Often these programs will show you what village life is like and try to show you a bit more of Africa than just the tourist hot spots. I decided to take one - mostly because I wanted to see the Kolo-Kondoa Rock Paintings. And below, I'll explain all about what I did:. The next day I took a tour of the town which inclu...
