This time last year, I was leading a safari for Columbia through Kenya and Tanzania–and having the time of my life. If you ever have the opportunity to do a safari–do it. Going on safari is the experience of a lifetime, and it completely revolutionizes and deepens one’s appreciation for the natural world. Our safari was very lucky–we spotted the big five almost immediately, along with a number of very rare sightings. For reasons I’ll never understand, I’ve got the right eyes to spy on wildlife–and can even spot sly lions slumbering in the trees (yes, they really do that).
I’ve been reminiscing this week-end about my last safari, because I recently viewed a stunning National Geographic feature on Serengeti lions online–which uses video and photography to bring the wonder, beauty, and horror of a safari right to your screen–wherever you are. Do czech it out–and allow yourself plenty of time to explore each of the many sections.
