Hix Does Tanzania - Sure As Kilimanjaro Rises Like Olympus Above The Serengeti

I'd like to add my thanks for your work on this. As someone who holds Tanzania very dear indeed, and who (obviously) enjoys reading about wildlife, it has been a real treat. And the photographs have been superb as well. Asante sana, Mzee!

Thanks Laughing Dove!

Writing is time consuming (well, for me anyway) which is why it's taken so long to finish. And in Tanzania there were so many places where I couldn't connect to the internet. Sometimes I would take that time to write up the trip, but only if a I had a power source, otherwise I'd save my laptop's battery power for downloading the day's photos. When I did have a connection, uploading photos was the priority.

Recently I went back to Sydney for a couple of weeks for Christmas, and for around a week each day I wrote up another day in Tanzania which took me from Day 22 to about Day 30.



Then you'll probably be glad to know I've requested three weeks leave for the end of April, and I plan on visiting at least one new country to view the wildlife, a country so far not visited or written up on ZooChat, and I expect to get a large number of lifers in a very short space of time.

Hopefully I'll be able to write it up and post in a more timely fashion!

Awesome, I wonder what country that could be. Looking forward to reading about your future travels!

Thanks Sooty! I'm glad you enjoyed it. One day I'll go back and do the Southern Circuit (and return to Amani for the African Violet!).

You'll need to wait a couple of months to find out!

I need to correct my last post - apparently a Zoochatter has visited this country, once, for only a couple of days. I'm hoping to spend two weeks there.

I have just finished reading your trip report @Hix, it was awesome and inspiring, and the photos were spectacular. I think the Silvery-cheeked hornbill was my favourite photo, but that Ross's turaco was also brilliant.

Looking forward to your next trip!

well the thread took a long time to complete, but it was very good indeed. And like the others I await your next trip with anticipation.
