      Enduimet Wildlife Area, hidden emptiness

      21 Disember 2022, Tanzania ⋅ ☁️ 28 °C

      Rather unknown and unfrequented but highly interesting. Enduimet Wildlife Area enrolls in front of us as dry volcanic ash desert. Different shades of grey and brown are dominating. Carcasses of dead animals here and there. We are the only visitors to this area. Heat. Spicy ginger chai with Maasai. Sun. Only few animals we spot. One elephant in the distance, seen from a hill. Some ostriches. A 4x4 paradise off the track. Our afternoon at Chui bush campsite we spend watching birds and enjoying the open fire with our two Maasai guards who are enthusiastically scrolling though our birding book. Franziska spends the evening at the big open fire with knitting.Baca lagi

      Meerschaum

      22 Disember 2022, Tanzania ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

      We wake up early for a game drive to the water pond and for having breakfast there. This main waterhole at the Kenyan border close to Amboseli national park uncloaks itself as former Meerschaum quarry. It is surrounded by hills of white, soft soil. We don't spot any big mammals. Just bones everywhere and ... are these here tracks of hyenas in the sand? Prof. Dr. Jan-Peter D. requested pictures of animal corpses for his university seminar program which we willingly provide. But what about this Meerschaum thing? As return service for our cadaver photos, J.-P. D. provides us with a scientific answer:

      "Meerschaum ist ein seltenes Mineral, das dann entsteht, wenn Meerwasser in einen ganz bestimmten Typ vulkanischen Ozeanbodens eindringt, dort aufgeheizt wird, und dann zurück an die Oberfläche perkoliert (also alles unter Wasser, in der Regel in Tiefen von einigen Kilometern). Das heiße Meerwasser tritt dann mit Mineralen, die in dem vulkanischen Ozeanboden enthalten sind, in Wechselwirkung, was dazu führt, dass sich Minerale verändern – und aus einigen entsteht Meerschaum. Normalerweise ist Meerschaum nur in Spuren enthalten, aber es gibt ein paar massivere Vorkommen – bspw. in der Türkei."

      Digging around in Franziska's family history we learn that her great-grandfather – a seafaring man – owned a precious pipe made with Meerschaum.      Baca lagi

      Tarangire National Park

      8 Januari 2023, Tanzania ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C

      This week I went on a safari, starting in Tarangire NP. Tarangire is famous for its elephants and baobab trees, and despite being told that there was no guarantee in seeing the elephants because it's the wet season and they'll be spread out, the park didn't disappoint and we saw a few good sized herds. We also were lucky enough to see both a lion and a cheetah, both of which are less common sightings in this park, in addition to the common sightings such as zebra, giraffe, warthog, buffalo, impalas, ostrich, baboons and monkeys - which were obviously hanging around the picnic area stealing people's lunch right out of their hands!Baca lagi

      2. Tag Mount Meru

      12 Januari 2023, Tanzania ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C

      Aufstieg zur Saddle Hut auf 3500m mit unserem Ranger Joseph und Guide Anthoni.
      Einer unserer Träger Victor hat uns auf dem Weg selbst mit unserem Gepäck überholt 👀
      Das Camp erreichten wir nach etwa 4-5 Stunden, allerdings mussten wir zur Höhen-Akklimatisierung den Little Mount Meru noch auf 3800m besteigen.
      Besonders dankbar waren wir mal wieder Josephat, der mit hervorragendem Essen und vor allem Suppen auf uns wartete.      Baca lagi

      Tarangire Nationalpark

      14 Januari 2023, Tanzania ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

      Nach der anstrengenden Bergtour haben wir in der Mount Meru View Lodge genächtigt und das Erste mal anständig geschlafen.
      Um 09:30 wurden wir von Moses abgeholt und fuhren 3 Stunden Richtung Tarangire National Park.
      Bis auf dass ich von Affen um meine Bananen gebracht wurde, war der Besuch sehr lohnenswert. Die meisten großen Tiere bis auf den Leoparden könnten wir sehen.
      Unser Highlight war einem Löwen bei der Pirsch zuzuschauen.

      Zum Tarangire Nationalpark:
      Der Tarangire-Nationalpark ist ein Nationalpark im Norden Tansanias. Er wurde im Jahr 1970 eingerichtet, ist 2600 Quadratkilometer groß und liegt südwestlich von Arusha in der Nähe des Manyara-Sees auf 1000 bis 1500 m Höhe über dem Meeresspiegel.
      Durch den Park fließt der Tarangire-Fluss, der ständig Wasser führt, sodass zur jährlichen Trockenzeit von Juli bis Oktober viele Tiere aus trockeneren Regionen einwandern, was die höchste Großtierdichte in Tansania nach dem Ngorongoro-Krater hervorruft.      Baca lagi

      Up for a soda?

      23 Disember 2022, Tanzania ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C

      Lake Natron – a place I wanted to visit for years already. Indeed a beautiful and diverse landscape guarded by Mount Gelai. In the distance we spot some few flamingoes in the water. From the rift valley where the alkaline soda lake acts as water sink we gradually climb up the first ridge onto Sale plain. Soil colour and composition changes multiple times. At one place we stop in a canyon-like, deeply eroded setting with ochre-coloured sedimentary and clayish soil, breadcrumbed with ash and pumice pieces. Here we also find reddish stones with strangely banded, alien outer crust and amorphic white core. Must have truly been a lithological and mineralogical party place here!

      The earth's crust implements a multi-layer concept here near the rift and once reaching the top of Sale plain, we find ourselves next to yet another ridge which would elevate us just another few hundred metres onto Serengeti plain. We pass a Chinese mine which probably is the reason for the good road condition here 😛. The moment we arrive in Sale, hundreds of colourful Maasai women are flooding into town from the north. Later we learn that they came in protest against unfair land distribution. Here we turn south again in direction of Malambo.      Baca lagi

      "The preferred option on rainy days"? 🧐

      25 Disember 2022, Tanzania ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C

      There are two ways out of Malambo. One northwards in direction to Sale where we came from, which is supposed to be an impenetrable hell of mud after more than 60 mm of precipitation per day. The other one southwards in direction to Ngorongoro conservation area which is supposed to be the preferred option on rainy days. It is dry but we do not want to drive back the same road and thus decide to enter Ngorongoro conservation area. There will be no gate from where we come from and therefore we will be entering the conservation area "illegally".

      Just 12 km out of Malabo we stop at Sanjan river with high, fast water. And this is "... the preferred option on rainy days"?? A totally new experience for me as I never drove through such a wide, dirty and fast-flowing river. There are two potential fords but both look difficult on the first glance. We spend over one hour deciding which of both to choose. Thanks to good mobile network connection I contact Dirk and send him a few pictures. He just responds "You can cross the river without any fear, I do it once a week and never had problems.". After getting out of the car and wading through one ford, I confirm the potential crossability and we do as we are told. Crocodiles seem to have siesta. Puh, what an adventure 😅!      Baca lagi

      On top of the crater rim

      25 Disember 2022, Tanzania ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

      For a perfect end of the day, at dusk we get stuck in a traffic jam right on top of the crater road. Safari car after safari car with us in the middle. A broken-down bus blocks the road in front of us and a truck got stuck in the mud next to it at the attempt of passing it. While we walk around and talk to the other tourists and their drivers, a huge and heavy yellow road grader is called to rescue but finds himself sliding down the crater slopes on the attempt of driving around both stuck vehicles. No chance for him to get back up on the road on this very evening, haha!

      By 9 p. m. all tourists from the stuck safari cars get evacuated to their camps. Just their drivers are left with us. After cooking on-road pasta we decide to simply sleep in the car between all the other cars and trucks. At 10 p. m. somebody knocks on our window to tell us that we got permission to bypass the traffic jam through the Ngorongoro crater for free! (This alone costs 295 USD and is not allowed in the dark.) But most of the drivers with their safari cars have already left an we would be the only ones driving alone at night through the crater. Uff. We are totally wasted after this full day and fall back into our deep slumber 😴. Better to drive down into the crater in the morning ...

      But what happens at night is truly a wonder. Before the first light dawns, we are woken up by sporadically passing safari cars, coming from the direction of the road block. Some alien force must have pulled away the broken bus in the middle of the night as the stuck truck is gone in the morning! We did not hear nor see anything while we were sleeping. We are surprised to find ourselves in thick morning fog being the last and only remaining car in the middle of the road. And an unblocked road implies that there is no more reason to claim a gratis detour through the crater. Damn! At least the misty clouds dissolve when we arrive at the viewpoint for an extensive breakfast with gorgeous views down into the crater for sunrise. Yeehaaw!      Baca lagi

      Ngorongoro highlands

      26 Disember 2022, Tanzania ⋅ 🌧 17 °C

      So, what's this Ngorongoro about? I always classified it as "one of those touristic things which one might visit but which is not necessary to be visited". Hmm. Failed. Actually, Franziska and I agree that it is indeed a piece of damn wonderful landscape! But, not only the crater itself. It is more the whole crater highland region which fascinates us! After our breakfast, we keep driving on a ridge road with steep slopes to both sides behind dense, moist and juicily dripping ticket. Are there any man-eating animals around? We have to leave the car a few times to assure ourselves 😉.

      The crowded east viewpoint opens a gap for gorgeous views into Ngorongoro crater with the low morning sun. We spend a whole lot of time here, spotting elephants, zebras, buffalo and rhinos far away with our binoculars. Unnoticed, we are being watched by a chameleon from the bush directly in front of us. Many Tanzanians come here with their families. We hand over our binoculars multiple times and enjoy the scenery and the chats.

      The moment we want to continue, a ranger appears and asks for our permit. Remember? We do not have one, haha! Continuing on the ridge to Empakaai crater? Not possible. We are friendlily asked to descend to the gate first. Shit. A bunch of valuable time we loose down there in endless discussions because the Tanzanian Revenue Authority (TRA) latterly decided to charge 150 $ instead of 40 $ per day for my Toyota. The actual cost depends on the tare weight of my car which has never been checked precisely on my other visits to national parks during the previous years. Just until now, where my car suddenly pops up in some kind of national registration database. This is what you call digitalisation. There is no room for discussions. Everybody stays professional and we have to pay. And we have to drop our fire wood from my roof rack as well.

      Holding the day permit in our hands, we continue up again and want to head in direction to Empakaai crater on the lesser frequented but beautiful ridge road. We do not manage to arrive there within our time slot but are inspired also by Olmoti crater and the soft slopes of the depression between Olmoti and Empakaai. It would be really great to return here for some days of hiking!      Baca lagi

      Meeting Dirk and Sara

      27 Disember 2022, Tanzania ⋅ 🌧 22 °C

      We finally meet Dirk and Sara on Migombani Campsite where I met them exactly a year ago for the first time. Having some light rain, we share a veeery lazy banana-pancake breakfast under my awning with their friend Florian from Uganda and one of his kids. A great place to relax and to get some things sorted and ... to watch birds comfortably directly from our camping chairs. An evening hike up the steep ridge opens great views along the rift valley over lake Manyara.Baca lagi
