Sunset at Ndarakwai Ranch
As far back as I can remember, I’d always wanted to visit Africa. It seemed like the most vast and remote place to a small town Texas girl. Many years and numerous countries later, I finally made it to Tanzania. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro, go on safari, and visit Zanzibar. Here is my Tanzanian journey:

Mt. Kilimanjaro

Camping above the clouds on Mt. Kili

Lava Tower Camp (15,213 ft.)

Highest peak in Africa at 19,341 ft.

Tarangire National Park

Sunset walk with our Maasai guide in Ngorongoro Crater

Safari View

Lots of elephants in Ngorongoro Crater

Beach in Ras Nungwi, Zanzibar

Zanzibar market scene

Zanzibar fish market

Stone Town, Zanzibar

Dar es Salaam
While Tanzania was my first stop in Africa, it certainly will not be the last. I have my eye on the sand dunes of Namibia, another safari in Botswana, and wine tasting in South Africa. Where would you like to go?
