Paula's visit to Tanzania

Even though it was only for a week, Paula (my sister) got to experience the flavour of Tanzania - from Masai to local families' houses and of course a safari (albeit only one day).

I think if you asked her what she thought of the country, she would tell you that the people are beautiful, the scenery and wildlife is second to none but that it made her exceptionally sad to witness such exceptional poverty. She went home to Ireland and her creature comforts with a very new perspective and unquestionable, an attitude of gratitude for what she has.

Below us were Wildebeest and elephants drinking and crossing at the river.


The wildebeest migration is now in full flight due to the early rains though it's currently moving from The Masai Mara in Kenya down to Tanzania
