One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Safari in Tanzania four different times. In the Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara, Tarangire and Arusha National Parks I saw the most majestic of sights there are to see. Lions, elephants, monkeys, baboons, warthogs, giraffes, hippos, zebras, ostriches, water buffalo, wildebeests, birds and such incredible wildlife. I never imagined seeing the circle of life take place right before my eyes.

What I Can Share with Hosts

An authentic conversation, respect for your space and a small token representing my great appreciation.
