This is one of my best captured moments in photography. I was on the other side speaking with Kassra when I discovered this man who was playing with a loose tooth . Reminded me alot of children who play with their milk tooth - except this was no child and probably could have avoided loosing a tooth with regular dentist visits.

The predominant position and influence of tobacco and beverage companies are scary in any country where they take advantage of low level of education. Most soda brands are owned by Coca Cola in Tanzania.

During our travel, the kids were all on holiday which means they need to help out at home with different duties like watching the cattle, gathering fire wood or getting water.

I love this tag
Ngoro Ngoro crater is an animals haven on earth. Imagine a huge pot filled with all the animals of the savannah, grazing peacefully. The lake in the middle was covered pink by flamingos and our 'Big Five' (lion, elephant, leopard, cheetah, rhino) expeditions was fulfilled with the sight of a black rhino. Our last stop was Lake Manyara NP, where we just relaxed after having seen it all the days before. Overall, this safari was more than I had imagined and I truely realised the potential of Tanzania as a travellers' destination. Now it's time to let the pictures continue the first part of my Tanzanian tale. In the next part I'll write about the hardest thing I've done, modern slavery and some paradise islands.
