Serengeti 2016
Ole had found a super nice pricing to stay at the Kuba Kuba tented lodge in Seronera, in the heart of central Serengeti. It is a semi-permanent ultra-luxurious lodge, with 80m² tents, hot running water and electricity and even a swimming pool. We stayed for three...
Tanzania 2016
Since I started my business in Africa, there isn't a single year that I will not return to Serengeti for a safari. My friend Ole, was once more our guide. The occasion was a business trip to Kenya and Uganda with my partner Yiannis and the promise to take him and his...
Serengeti, the Crossing

Death in the savanna
On the third day of our stay we came across an amazing kill scene. The only death I had ever witnessed, was my father's. He died from cancer only twenty hours later than the birth of my second son. The birth-death sequence was overwhelming and did not allow me to...
Serengeti, the endless plains
After our last visit, I made a promised to myself to return to Serengeti the soonest possible. In Maasai language, Serengit means "endless plains" and this is indeed what it is. A landscape dominated by flat grass land, also known as cheetah-land with a few scattered...
Tanzania (2011)
The idea was to spend a week of leisure in Zanzibar. I had read about wildlife safaris and was intrigued with the idea to do it so I started researching. It seemed that the best beach in Zanzibar is in Pongwe and the lodge to stay, the Pongwe Beach Hotel, but the only...
