Every moment in Tanzania was breathtaking, like nothing I’ve ever experienced before. I’ve traveled all over the world but this trip was truly magical. I now understand what people mean when they say you feel like you’ve gone home when you go to Africa.
We took so many photos as everyday was full of amazing sights, cultural experiences, and animals roaming freely through national parks. I wanted to share some here so I picked 15 photos I love. If you’d like to see more, I’ll be posting many more on my Facebook page.
Tourism is such a powerful tool for animal welfare and it was nice to be in a country where there were no elephant rides or other animal performances. Just animals roaming freely in protected parks living by the rules of nature.
If you ever want to go on safari in Tanzania I’d love to arrange it for you. You can learn more about my travel planning services by clicking here or emailing me at liz@gentlelivingonline.com. I’m sure you will fall in love with this country as much as I did.
I hope you enjoy the photos. Asante Sana (thank you very much in Swahili)!
P.S. Just fyi, we used a Nikon D60 digital SLR with a Sigma 70 – 300mm telephoto zoom lens. It’s a great camera but I am a complete photography amateur

You’ve got some really great shots here, Liz!
Wow, must take some doing to come down from that….
Thanks Diane! A ton of photos came out overexposed, I didn’t know how to handle the African sun I guess!
They might be fixable.
Hey Diane, I’m having trouble responding to the email you sent. My response keeps bouncing back. Did you receive it by any chance?
Amazing! Can’t wait to see & hear more.
LOVE the photo of the baby zebra – it’s my favorite.
Thanks Lesley! That baby zebra was soooo cute, I have like 50 pictures of it!
Ok, I just commented on the food and now so your top 15 photos. Love the flamingo shots, it’s so cool…:)
Thanks Jen!
