Tanzania has some of the best wildlife viewing in Africa. The Serengeti with its endless plains and the biggest migration on earth, Tarangire with it’s unique landscape populated with elephants, Lake Manyara with dense forest and tree climbing lions and of course, Ngorongoro, a magnificent extinct volcano teaming with wildlife. Spending time in each park, we have the chance to get off the beaten track, and take advantage of opportunities as they arise – such as a lioness feeding its cubs. Visiting various areas of the Serengeti, we have the flexibility to witness the migration of the wildebeests in the optimal location in the company of our expert safari guide. A visit to a Masai village and a night safari add a unique dimension to this superb itinerary.

We arrive at the edge of the Sahara at the end of a long day. This is Morocco, and three dusty days after the cacophony of Marrakech, our travels have brought us through the red earth and mineral hues of the Atlas mountain villages to the salt-white brilliance of the ancient, Berber kingdom of Sijilmassa – the meeting place of desert caravans since the beginning of time.

We left the last town hours ago and beat our way across the hammada (1).

Merichas is popular among yachtspeople whose expensive toys adorn this part of the harbor. Fishing boats are in the majority, though, moored at the mole straight ahead. A few skippers are still bustling about in the light of the lanterns. Read the rest of this entry »
