Tanzania Journey

This place is Ngorongoro Crater, in northern Tanzania. The crater has a high encircling ridge, forming a natural corral for wildlife. In this pool you see hippo, and nearby are zebra, impala, wildebeest, hyena, and lion.

Over the holidays I spent two weeks in Tanzania, serving as study guide for 25 Princeton alums and their families. We landed near Kilimanjaro, then journeyed in safari wagons to overnight stays at lodges and tented camps.

By day we hunted with cameras, and in the evenings we had fireside discussions. On Christmas Eve, two Santas showed up with gifts for the youngsters. On New Year's Eve, the camp staff danced and serenaded one of our birthday Dads, who danced right back.

The trip home took 40 hours, a journey from 94 degrees to 0. As always, I'm glad to be home, but the good memories will linger. I have posted some pictures of the trip that you may enjoy.
