Fireside stories on safari - Serengeti Tanzania

What is an African Safari in the Serengeti of Tanzania without a fireside chat? Well, we had the campfire, but the rain kept us inside, at the beautiful Sound of Silence tented lodge with fresh food and cold Kilimanjaros. What more could we ask for from our guide via Tanzania Specialist travel agency? A few great stories from out on safari in the wild outback of Tanzania and the Serengeti…

Albert has years of experience as a safari guide. He took around the Formula one guys but most impressively he also led National Geographic all around norther Tanzania. National Geographic was where I first learned of the Serengeti and all it offered, some 40 years earlier, so fittingly that is how the story started.

His main, suspenseful story, that only the art of storytelling could bring across as Albert did, as of a leopard, lion, elephant and a poor gazelle. Actually, it was a Lion vs Leopard.

The leopard, which we saw a few of on our safari - even once with a cub - had killed a gazelle and took his meal up into a tree. A lion, saw this from far off and ran to the action AND jumped in the tree and stole the prey! The leopard escaped higher into the tree, for they can out climb lions. As the leopard was waiting for his moment, the scraps that were falling from the tree were being eaten by a hyena pack ! We also saw cool hyenas - and then, if that was not enough action, an elephant came along, not aware of the action up in the tree and started rubbing is back! The tree fell over, the prey fell and the leopard jumped on the lions back! Well, he fell really. The lion ran away and the leopard finally got his gazelle back.

What a story! More safari images and stories -
