Get in the Picture

We just received confirmation of our safari dates for next year! June 3-13, 2027 we will be back in Tanzania, camping the great parks including Ngorongoro and the Serengeti. Exact details and budget are still in the works, but should be ready soon.

If full-on adventure in the African backcountry is on your wish list, you’ll need to mark your calendars. Know that we rent Land Cruisers with limited seating in order to keep our footprint small and our experiences large.

We’ll be leaving in less than a month with this year’s crew. Track us here, on Facebook or YouTube, to get a sense of what awaits.

Long and Lanky

Serval cat in the grass. Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania.

The serval is a long lanky feline found in sub-Saharan Africa. It looks like a big house cat, except for its oddly small head and generously long legs.

Its scientific name, Leptailurus, is a combo-pak out of the Greek, meaning "delicate cat." The common name, "serval," is simply Portuguese for "lynx."

This one was spotted on the crater floor at Ngorongoro. We watched it for a while until a group of lions approached. The serval beat a hasty exit.
