Had two great flights on Precision Air....first from Zanzibar to Dar and then on to Kilimanjaro Airport up north. Funny thing was my flight to Dar was a bit late due to weather so upon arrival, there were Precision Air employees holding signs with my name who then rushed me through the airport and out onto the tarmac to get onto the connecting flight to Kilimanjaro Airport.

Most of the journal entries are from my 14-month round-the-world journey I took from May 2005 until July 2006. It was an amazing adventure which took me to some incredible places and allowed me to meet a great group of individuals. Feel free to email me about any of the places I have been or with questions about traveling.

Hippos and Giraffes

A group of hippos enjoy the water of this small lake while Giraffe graze in the background to the left.

Migration still in full swing

As we pass through the Serengti towards the Nogorongoro Crater, the migration of wildebeest and zebras is still in full swing.

Migration still in full swing

Driving becomes a bit tough as the sheer number of the animals is overwhelming.

I asked the animals to gather around me but there were too busy migrating.

Now I am in Control

I take control of the car and chase the giraffes to make them run.

Running Giraffe

When Biriki got out to take a pee, I jumped in the driver seat and started chasing these giraffe as Katie and Chip wanted to film them running (it looks amazing cause it seems like the giraffe run in slow motion). Biriki had jumped onto the back of the truck and was not happy with me when I finally stopped.

Blue Sky in the Crater

The grass is so green, the sky so blue and the sights, sounds and smells are amazing! Here I pose of top of the 4x4 as we reach the floor of the Ngorongoro crater.

Foward looking back

All around us is green grass and blue sky.

Large Load

This elephant came a bit too close for comfort to our 4x4.

Cheetah in the Crater

Unfortunately we ruined this cheetah's chance of killing an impala as we came up on it's hiding place playing music.

Flamingos in the Crater

It got cloudy as we came upon the flamingos enjoying themselves in the lake of the crater.

Hyena in the Crater

A hyena makes his way back to a group of hyenas which were resting near a bush about 50 yards away.

Vogue-ing in Tanzania

We all strike a pose on the Land Rover as we climb out of the crater.

Katie, Chip and I are all smiles with the Ngorongoro Crater as the backdrop.

Camping Out

We stayed in tents for two nights at the Lake Elysa campsite.

I use a stick and spinning motion to make fire.
