Below is a sampler of about 2000 shots made on the trip. The safari company is Wilderness Africa of Arusha, Tanzania. Ruaha and Serengeti are national parks in Tanzania, each about the size of Connecticut. Tanzania's protected Ngorongoro Crater is about 10-15 miles in diameter and 1500 feet deep. My party spent 5-6 days each in Ruaha and the Serengeti and one in Ngorongoro.
