Tanzania 2014 Serengeti Mara Day 4

Tanzania is in eastern Africa, just below Uganda and Kenya, and on the Indian Ocean. At the end of our eleven day/ten-night Zambia safari, we flew from Livingston to Johannesburg for an overnight stay. The next day we flew to Arusha, Tanzania via Nairobi. Arriving at Arusha Coffee Lodge at around 8 pm, we spent two nights (one full day) relaxing there before our next adventure. On the morning of 28 August 2014, our guide and driver, Nelson, picked us up at ACL in his 4x4 Toyota Land Cruiser for the trip to Ngorongoro Crater. After three nights and two full days in the Crater while staying at Lemala Ngorongoro Camp, we flew by Coastal bush plane out of Manyara Airstrip to Kogatende Airstrip for four nights at Sayari Mara Camp in the remote NW corner of the Serengeti near the Mara River and the Kenyan border. Albert Alfred Lucas was our guide and driver. All arrangements for our requested Tanzanian safari from our arrival at ACL through our return to Arusha and departure from ACL on 5 September 2014 were made by Africa Travel Resource.

  • Three at once.
  • The three hit the water more or less together. A single follows with another close behind.
  • The single splashes down with the follower, brakes on and tail up indicating to those behind that he is stopping, almost on top of him. But another one has already launched, so we will see what happens.
  • All are safely down.
  • More action, a minute or so later.
  • One airborn off the low board and one in mid-air off the high board.
  • Both divers momentarily disappear from view as they hit the water.
  • All exits are open and things are moving along nicely on the other side. Enough excitement for this morning, plus it's time to head back for lunch and departure for the airstrip.
  • Red-necked Spurfowl.
  • We crossed to the north side here, but that is now impossible due to the recent local light showers and heavier rains in nearby Kenya.
  • A low and somewhat spread out kopjes.
  • Kirk's Dik-dik close to Camp
  • Citrus Swallowtail, live.
  • Our tent, #2, is second from the far right. Bags are packed and at the main dining/bar tent ready for transfer to Kogatnede Airstrip for our early afternoon flight back to Arusha.
