Trip Reports: Northern Tanzania January through March 2008

It has been a very busy year so far. Between January and March I was in Tanzania's north to escort five safaris. A very big thank you to all my tour members who made this a special time. I couldn't have been happier to spend 57 days straight in the bush. These tours were all timed to experience the north arguably at its best - when the wildebeest migration is in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and southern Serengeti. Although each program was designed to suit the unique needs of each group, they all included destinations like the Gol Mountains and Ndutu which are so fantastic at this time of the year. Because I made the rounds of the north's locations every 10 to 14 days I was able to track the migration's whereabouts. This was good fun and a big learning experience. (You can never stop learning out there.) In Ndutu I often saw and recognized the same mother cheetahs and their cubs - the same leopard even - and this was really exciting. Thanks again to all of you for sharing with me.
