Nairobi to the Indian Ocean, Tanzania Video Details
When Ben arrived we made fast plans and hit the road. Our first goal was the Indian Ocean. Ben’s gear included lots of old stuff he had accumulated over the years in Germany. Some we gave to a local charity and some we kept for bribes & gifts.
The drive was East on a paved two-lane highway. We stopped at intervals for gear, money, stuff and terrible road-kill food.
The Zebra Camp offered an empty riverside campground for the first driving evening.
I soon discovered that Ben had a routine. Each object in its place and dinner prepared with precision. This was going be a different trip from my normal crazy random approach.
The next day we found free canoes so we pretended to be Canadians.
We were told there were only little crocks in this tiny river. But it was soon apparent that tiny and large are two things guys are bad at estimating.
The following day we stopped for lunch at the costal town of Tanga before heading south on a dirt road along the coast. Note that Google maps did not allow us to drive this route. It kept switching to the inland paved routes.
Near the end of the day we pull over to setup camp at the Beach Crab Resort and test the waters of the Indian Ocean.
Saadani National Park, Tanzania Video Details
After checking out the Indian Ocean south of Tanga, we hit the dusty road south. At the Pangani River we manage to meet the ferry as it was preparing to leave. We paid a small fee and drove on as it cast off.
Tanzania used to be a German colony so large enterprising farms are the norm. The local cash crop is Sisal. Sisal production in Tanzania began in the late 19th century by the German East Africa Company. Sisal was continually produced during the German administration and the British administration and was the colony's largest export highly prized for use in cordage and carpets worldwide. At the time of independence in 1961, Tanzania was the largest exporter of Sisal in the world and the industry employed over 1 million farmers and factory workers.
Our route (the only road south along the coast) crosses though the Saadani National Park. And foreigners always pay to enter parks, even if it is unavoidable. We had to pay $80 each for the privilege of driving through the park (a road tax just for foreigners). Since we had to pay, Ben felt we might as well test the 4WD capabilities of the Land Cruiser.
Testing the 4WD for Ben meant railway lines, dusty trails, dry river beds and jungle foliage. All good fun.
We exit the park and continued south after getting our $80s worth.
Sanje Falls, Tanzania Video Details
We hired a skilled park guide and discussed the hiking options. Ultimately we decided visit the world famous Sanje falls (3 water falls for the price of one). And yes park fees had to be paid first.
Our guide was casual, cool and informative. He soon pointed out the elusive colobus monkeys that never drink water. They spend their life in the trees and get all their requirements from the forest leaves. But even in the trees they are not safe. They are the favorite prey of leopards.
We spent the rest of the day hiking to the three falls, taking a swim and relaxing in the shade as the sun cooked the local jungle canopy.
After visiting Sanje falls in the Udzungwa Mtns NP, Ben gave gifts to the park personnel (more used clothing) and then set off east.
We spotted a roadside signpost that said Beware of Alligators for the next 27km’s.
We stopped to check out a local lodge called Alligator camp but one look at the river was enough to encourage us to move on.
Late in the afternoon we drove into thundershowers that convinced us to call it a day. We reached another lodge offering camping but this time I opted for a large $12 canvas safari tent (I didn’t want to setup my tent in the rain and they advertised an English breakfast included). Unfortunately the local cook didn’t have a clue what an English breakfast was.
Once back on the road we were flagged down by the police for speeding again. Cost? A pair of old boots.
After breakfast we broke camp and made our way back to the main road. On impulse we followed some signposts off the main road and headed in search of a natural bridge that was formed by volcanic lava flows.

Africa's Cowboy Capitalists (Full Length)
For maverick entrepreneur Ian Cox, Africa is the last frontier of free enterprise. The former small-time hustler has been busting his ass on the continent for years, selling and moving merchandise. In 2012 he nabbed a lucrative United Nations contract to transport equipment from South Africa to South Sudan, a country on many countries' embargo list. The other problem: the journey north entails passing through countless checkpoints and dealing with bribe-happy officials and their nonsensical paperwork and regulations.
Photographer and filmmaker Tim Freccia followed around Ian and the guys he hired for this job. Cowboy Capitalists documents their attempts to navigate the continent's dangerous roads and bureaucratic chaos.

Most Dangerous Ways To School | NEPAL | Free Documentary
Those who attend school in the mountain village of Kumpur, walk across the mountains of the highest situated country on earth. Nearly half of Nepals lies more than 4 000 Meters above sea level. Today it`´s normal that the kids go to school in the valley, but just 50 years ago the village was completely self sufficient. Only if there was a lack of salt would someone twice a year hard off to refill the stock. Today the children go to the city almost on a daily basis and are immediately forced to cross the dangerous river. A village in distress is left behind. The village community Kumpur is spread across 18 farms on the Dhap Mountain. Their families live in a very remote area.
These families have lived on their land now for thousands of years herding their life-sustaining cattle without electricity, running water or contact to the outside world. Although they constantly ask themselves if the promise of an education justifies the danger of the path involved, they send their children day after day to school.

Most Dangerous Ways To School | PAPUA NEW GUINEA | Free Documentary
They live in Papua New Guinea, an island in the Pacific Ocean, in the middle of one of the world’s largest rainforests. And some of them take a route to school which will blow your mind.
That is certainly the case for 8-year-old Junior and his cousin Ruth. Their journey in the so-called ‘Land of 1000 Rivers’ is a five-day one which leads the students through jungles, in which new and unique animals are continuously being discovered, and in whose branches the notorious green tree python lurks. For the children these snakes are not just a threat but also a delicacy, because they hunt their own food every day, as well as climb steep mountainsides and cross countless rivers. Their journey to school is too risky to tackle alone; that is why father Michael accompanies his son and niece on this adventure. They travel over one hundred kilometres, and on this trip the children fear nothing more than the large Takali river. It separates their home - the jungle - from modern civilisation, and has already claimed the lives of many who have attempted to cross it.
It is more than just a walk to school – It is a test in the vast jungle. And not all of the students will reach their destination...
Safari Day One: Tarangire National Park, Tanzania
2 Abercrombie and Kent July 10, 2018 Tarangire Park Tanzania and Sanctuary Swala:
Within minutes of setting out on our first safari game drive, we saw a family of elephants. A group of elephants is called a herd or a parade. I loved seeing the baby elephant. If the baby can fit under the mother, it is usually less than six months old. African Bush Elephants can live 60 to 70 years and elephants are born after a two year pregnancy.
I was thrilled to realize we were close enough to the elephants to take selfies! I had hoped we would see many animals on my safari but I was not sure if they would mainly be far away from us. We saw many birds including Southern White Crowned Strike, Lilac Breasted Roller, white-bellied bustard, crown hornbill, gray crowned crane, ostrich, marsh eagle, African vulture, and Western Red-billed hornbill.
I loved seeing a zeal of zebras. I was shocked when four of them rolled in the grass and dirt. I felt like we were in a scene from a movie. I just could not believe how many animals there were. I also loved seeing different types of animals together.
Watching giraffes walk makes me happy. I love how majestic they look. A tower (or kaleidoscope) of giraffes is formed when two or more giraffes stand with necks together on safari. When we saw a warthog and someone said, “Pumba,” I felt like the movie The Lion King was coming to life.
Observing the animals while they were walking, drinking and moving was mesmerizing. I made separate videos of each of the animals that we watched for long periods of time so you can enjoy them too. You can find them at the end of this playlist.
My two favorite things on safari where watching animals cross the road and seeing the baby animals. I made a separate video of those two things together.
We saw black faced monkeys and later in our trip we would see Olive Baboons!
We saw all of the animals mentioned here before noon on our very first game drive.
After our picnic lunch under the Acacia trees, we saw another parade of elephants and a leopard! On our first day we saw two of the Big 5! At 5pm as we were headed to our camp, we saw African Buffalo which made 3 of the Big 5 on our first day.
Sanctuary Swala would be our home for the night and it had recently re-opened. Our stunning luxury canvas tents had every amenity including both an indoor and outdoor shower. We were taught about how to call for someone to walk us to the dining area after dark. You take a flashlight and shine it into the trees. It is like asking for your own superhero to accompany you and a Maasai warrior with a spear will walk you safely to the main area. There are no fences at Sanctuary Swala so there are animals all over the camp. I loved the meals with a view, pretty pathways, the animals close by and my very comfortable bed.

Uganda: Planning a Trip to National Parks | #WhereisAJ?
AJAY JAIN
Sub-Saharan Africa is teeming with wildlife across many countries like Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Zambia, Zimbabwe, South Africa and Namibia to name a few. But Uganda is where you may want to be in despite it not featuring on too many itineraries.
The Uganda Wildlife Authority ( is doing a good job managing over 10 national parks and I was fortunate to visit three of their finest recently. Join me in my game drives and plan your own itinerary accordingly.
PARKS VISITED
* Murchison Falls National Park
* Bwindi Impenetrable National Park
* Queen Elizabeth National Park (drove through Ishasha wildlife sector to get here and got a good sense of this park too)
PLANNING AN ITINERARY IN UGANDA’S NATIONAL PARKS
No amount of time is enough is you really love being in the wild and close to its flora and fauna. But we all need to draw a line somewhere - do provision for at least 2-3 full days in each park. When you visit Bwindi, you can be there for just two nights - you arrive on day one, go gorilla tracking the following morning, and return the following day.
MAIN ATTRACTIONS OF EACH NATIONAL PARK
* Murchison Falls National Park: It gets its name from falls by the same name on the Nile river. Don’t miss out on a river cruise where you can get close to the falls and feels sprays all over you (and your cameras!!). The river itself is home to countless hippos and crocodiles while the park boasts an impressive line-up to include lions, leopards, elephants, hyenas, giraffes, water buffaloes and many species of birds, reptiles and other mammals. The landscape draws you in - from the crack of dawn till night falls. Magical is the word for Murchison.
* Bwindi Impenetrable National Park: You go to Bwindi for the endangered Mountain Gorillas. They sure make you work hard for the sightings. Expect to be out all day tracking them through thick forests and slushy paths; the hilly terrain tests you, and be prepared to fall, slip and slide on your backside. A good scrub is what you will need at the end - but the sightings of gorillas will leave you glowing.
* Queen Elizabeth National Park: Another park that will leave you stunned with its virgin beauty. Elephants are to be found in abundance here - as are many other species of birds and animals. Take sunset cruises in the Kazinga channel and go up close to hippos, water buffaloes, crocs and thousands of birds hovering around you. Vast plains with pockets of thick forests make game drives a pleasure and an adventure - you never know what lurks around the corner.
SELECTING THE RIGHT GAME DRIVE VEHICLE AND GUIDE
Your experience in the jungle is largely shaped by your guides and the vehicles they use. You can choose from the comfortable closed vehicles with an opening in the roof or from those open on all sides; I prefer the latter as I can shoot from all angles and also remove the soft covers should I need angles from higher up. I always interview guides before selecting one - not only is their knowledge important, but they should have a good sense and intuition in tracking animals. Of course, no one can guarantee any sightings.
DO YOU BOOK A GAME DRIVE VEHICLE ALL FOR YOURSELF OR SHARE?
It all depends on your budget. A shared vehicle in obviously cheaper but it gives you lesser flexibility in choosing shooting positions as well as asking the guides to take you to your areas of interest. Personally, I save elsewhere but prefer to have a vehicle and guide to myself. I cherish the relative privacy too - it resonates well with the silence of the forest.
HOW DO YOU TRAVEL BETWEEN NATIONAL PARKS IN UGANDA?
Most parks in Uganda are within a few hours driving distance of each other. Of course, it can take longer if you were to go directly from, say, Murchison to Bwindi. The road network in quite extensive in Uganda, and they are mostly of good quality with low traffic density. You can also book rides on small planes that land on strips inside reserves but these are more expensive than equivalent flights in countries like Kenya; lower numbers in Uganda lead to higher operating costs here.

African Wildlife Safari at Kruger National Park, South Africa
If you gave me a list of only 10 more bucket-list travel experiences I could potentially have for the rest of my life, experiencing an African wildlife safari would be right near the top. After making the long bus journey from Johannesburg to Kruger National Park, I couldn't believe this - once in a lifetime - experience was finally about to happen. Waking up at the crack of dawn, we boarded our Land Rover and drove off in the dark to the gates of Kruger National Park. It wasn't long before we witnessed sunrise and our first animal encounter spotting prancing impalas.

The highlights of our first day of safari included spotting a pride of Lions including getting up close views of lioness affectionately licking her cubs and an Alpha male resting in the foreground. Lunchtime, was equally as eventful as I was bombed (shitted on) by two birds eager to grab scraps of our meal.
As the day progressed we spotted giraffes on a frequent basis. Two male giraffes fought swinging their heads violently at one another often landing direct blows to knees. Out of all the violent animal encounters I could have potentially witnessed, gazing at fighting giraffes was not something I would have ever anticipated.
The day ended with an epic sunset featuring a generous portion of crackers, cookies, cheese and wine. On the way back, when the sun had gone down, we used a flashlight to try and spot more animals. Our guide Lloyd, has an acutely trained eye and without his assistance we may have only spotted impalas ourselves ;)
African Wildlife Safari at Kruger National Park, South Africa Travel Video Transcript:
Okay, so today is the big day. Yesterday afternoon we reached the outskirts of Kruger National Park and today we're actually going in to spot some of the wildlife. So we're going in for a sunrise drive. It is really earlier. It is about 5:15 am right now. We're going to head into the park and - yeah - it is safari time!
Okay, so we finally reached the park and I'm going to give you a little tour of our cool truck for the day. Come on over. Come on in.
Make that big climb up there. Yeah, I'm in.
One thing that totally surprised me was just how close we got to the lions. I think it was only about 10 meters away from the road.
So they were really docile and the lioness was just sleeping and cleaning its cubs and in the back there was the big alpha male just stretching and yawning. It was surreal.
So that's been an amazing safari so far. It is only 10 in the morning and we've already seen more wildlife than I ever imagined. We saw lions, elephants, wildebeest. Oh, gosh more than I can even remember. Yeah, it was amazing and we were able to get up close and have a good look at them. So it has been so much fun.
So tell us what happened to you at lunchtime today? So the most ridiculous thing happened to me during lunch. A bird shit right here. It ricochet of off my shoulder all the way down to here. And while I was still recovering from the shock from that another bird shitted on this side. So I got hit on both shoulders but apparently if a bird shits on you it is good luck. So I have a double dose of good luck. Maybe that means I'm going to see cheetahs this afternoon. Woo hoo!
Right now we're visiting a private game reserve to see even more cool wildlife. And what caught us for a total surprise is that we saw so many giraffes. Apparently this is the most giraffes have ever been spotted out here.
So we saw them walk right in front of our vehicle and we even saw a couple of them fighting. They were swinging their heads at each other. It was completely bonkers.
Yeah, so overall it has been an amazing day. We saw more animals than we ever expected. And what a beautiful way to wrap up the day. Now we're just going to watch the sunset, drink some wine and enjoy some cheese. And do it all over again tomorrow.
This is part of our Travel in South Africa series. We're making a series of videos showcasing South African culture, South African arts, South African foods, South African religion, South African cuisine and South African people.

Monkey Meat and the Ebola Outbreak in Liberia
VICE News Exclusive: Part 1 of The Fight Against Ebola -
West Africa is being plagued by a new outbreak of Ebola — a terrifying disease that causes its victims to bleed to death from the inside out. Ebola has no cure, and the latest epidemic is spreading fast.
VICE News visited Liberia, where many feel the new outbreak began, borne from the bushmeat markets of Lofa. Western scientists feel that the consumption and preparation of meat from monkeys, fruit bats, and other forest animals is behind the transmission of Ebola, and possibly a new supervirus, which if left uncontrolled could kill a third of the world's population.

Hippo Learns Lesson From Rhinos
Watch as two of Africa’s biggest and heaviest animals go head to head in a very rarely seen sighting. The hippo is trying his luck with the rhinos, but the rhinos have none of it.
BOOK YOUR TRIP TO KRUGER:
Mike Kirkman, Head Ranger at Mala Mala Game Reserve, took this amazing footage near the Airstrip in the Mala Mala Game Reserve. In his own words, Mike tells of this rare and interesting, albeit a bit confusing, sighting:
Send in your wildlife video here, and earn money:
“At the time it was still a very dry season in the reserve and the animals were battling with what little grass there was available. The area around the airstrip was pretty barren and I think the hippo was more curious and lonely because at the time many of the hippo had already left this area due to the drought.
In my opinion, everyone was more confused than anything else at this sighting. It’s not normal to see an interaction like this between any animal – never mind the 2nd and 3rd largest species! As always, when nature throws a curveball like this, as a guide - it is very difficult to explain.
About half of the rangers in the camp were returning from a drive and saw the animals on the way back to camp, but because of the strict rules around disclosing the locations of rhino sighting, we didn’t even announce it on the radio at all. Yet another unfortunate side effect of the rhino crisis and so in this case, many of our guests and fellow rangers were unable to witness this spectacular yet unusual interaction.
We do not normally view rhino at night, but with them being on the main route in and out of the camp it was impossible to avoid however, after a while they were left to themselves. I’m not sure what the final outcome of the interaction would have been but we never saw any injured animals afterwards so I can only assume that it ended peacefully. As you can see in the video, it is not an overly aggressive meeting, but more of confused one.
As I mentioned, I don’t think it had anything to do with food/resource disputes as we were far from the river and there was no grass on the runway to fight over – I think this hippo may have simply been lonely and bored or simply curious.
When we asked Mike how rare this sighting was for him, he responded: “I have never seen anything like this before or since.”

Irresistible Ethiopian Food - Tasty Meat Platter in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia!
Ethiopian food is one of the world's greatest cuisines. Read my Ethiopian food guide here:
When you taste the combination of injera, with meat and vegetables, you'll be in love!
What is Ethiopian food? The first thing you have to know about the cuisine is the staple, known as injera. Injera is sort of like a spongy pancake, but it's airy and made from an ancient grain known as teff. This grain is really only used in Ethiopia and Eritrea, and apart being eaten by Ethiopians and Eritreans, it's not eaten by really any others around the world. Anyway, the teff flour is ground into a flour, made into a batter, and then fried into a huge circular pancake.
When you eat Ethiopian food in Ethiopia, you are always served on a large platter that is first covered by a huge circle of injera that coats the bottom of the pan. You can then order whatever sort of dishes you want, either meat based dishes or vegetarian curries, and they will be dumped into the middle of your injera. Ethiopian cuisine is communally eaten, so whoever you are eating with, you share the same communal plate with them. In this particular video, I was eating alone, as my wife had already eaten, so I polished off the entire thing myself.
Tipped off an article from Addis Eats ( I decided to go out one day in Addis Ababa to an area of town known as Chechnia to eat at a restaurant known as Grand Restaurant. It took a while to find, but we eventually stepped into the restaurant. The front is more of a dark room and a bar, but if you continue to the back of the Ethiopian restaurant you'll find a kind of makeshift table and chair area that's sort of like a canopy. The roof of the restaurant is covered in Ethiopian traditional paintings like coffee ceremonies and livestock. At Grand Restaurant you sort of eat what's available for the day. I ordered the meat mahberawi, which is basically a platter of injera topped with whatever meat and veg dishes are available that particular day.
For this Ethiopian food meal, my mahberawi included key wat, a spicy Ethiopian beef curry, another curry that included potatoes, shiro wat, and an amazing tomato salad. The key wat was absolutely amazing, full of berbere spices and with just the right amount of oil so it was amazing but not overly greasy. The shiro wat, a stew made from ground chickpeas flour mixed with berbere spices and Ethiopian butter, was one of the best I had in my entire time in Ethiopia. Shiro wat is one of the most popular Ethiopian food dishes, and at Grand restaurant it is amazing. Finally, the tomato salad was also excellent to go with the other curries. The mix included slices tomatoes and onions seasoned with lemon juice, jalapenos, and a touch of salt and pepper. After polishing off all the dishes on the first round, I was still hungry so I decided to order another bowl full of the key wat, but this time I think it was lamb... though I'm not totally sure? Anyway, that drumstick of meat was excellent, the meat literally slid off the bone with ease and the flavor was outstanding.
Ethiopian food is an amazing cuisine in the world, and if you ever have the chance to eat it, you should take it. Don't miss out on the amazing flavors of Ethiopia!
