- Indonesia - Prigen Taman Safari, East-JavaAfter passing the area of Sidoarjo, where the sad events with the mud volcano continue to happen, the scenery became friendlier, and much greener.

- Pench National Park - Part I There appears to be some sort of confusion about our park tickets for today. It seems our agent booked them for the wrong gate, some 60km away. Hence the very early start of 04:30. Rakesh (the driver who brought us Posted by Grete Howard in Grete's Travels | Nov 2, 2017

- Kanha National Park Part I - Kanha ZoneAfter a restless night full of meflaquine dreams (nightmare-inducing malaria prophylaxis), I wake to a knock on the door.

- Naabi Hill - Ngorongoro Crater - MaramboiAs we approach the Ngorongoro Crater Descent Road, we see some Maasai with their donkeys collecting firewood.

- Serengeti Day II Part I - Hyenas, Lions and moreI guess the lioness we heard calling out for her babies yesterday afternoon didn't find them, as she was roaring all night.
