With the first rays of light coloring the sky in the Serengeti park in Tanzania, the silhouette of the great African elephant rises in the meadow, imposing itself as if it were the sole owner of the great grasslands of the endless steppe.

The Tarangire National Park (Tanzania) must be one of the places with the most diversity of African fauna, as shown by the photo of relaxed zebras drinking water while deer watch them with total indifference.

One of the richest experiences has been living with the African natives: The Hadzabe tribe, the last hunter-gatherers of Tanzania. Being able to witness the last 1000 inhabitants separated into small groups. Capture their gaze that is the same, from their ancestors, in a continuous present where the future stops.

One of the first parks one visits is Arusha. It is a reserve located in the North of Tanzania. It is the territory of Mount Meru, which is home to a rich variety of flora and fauna on its grounds, such as this group of giraffes, one so curious that I couldn't resist taking a photo of it as if I were posing.

Being able to witness in the impenetrable jungle in Uganda, the gaze of the mountain gorillas, where the silverback Alpha male is the boss, the caretaker of a pod of 16 members, where the juvenile gorillas sneak behind their mother's back or they play with other members on branches of trees with high vegetation where from time to time that almost human look of primates meets our eyes.

Uganda must be one of the countries where they have had the most success in rhino reproduction. Like the Ziwa sanctuary that was founded in 2005. Sadly, some of the species of these mammals are in danger of extinction. It is estimated that the sanctuary shelters approximately 50 white and black rhinos in its 7,000 hectares. In the photo a white rhinoceros.

Tarangire National Park has the baobad tree, an icon of Tanzania known for its inverted appearance. They are native to the African continent. As someone says, the baobab tree is certainly not in a hurry. And why should it be? If you have all the time in the world. These bulbous woody giants can live between two and three thousand years, although some are thought to be up to four thousand.

It is not surprising to come across herds of elephants in the Tarangire National Park, where a tree can be used to scratch and thus deworm itself from ticks and other insects by rubbing its wrinkled skin against the bark.

Ngorongoro National Park (Tanzania) is a protected area in northern Tanzania. In addition to housing the extensive Ngorongoro volcanic crater, it serves as a habitat for the big five animals that were once hunted: elephants, lions, leopards, buffalos and rhinos. These hippos were photographed in the middle of a dispute over a piece of the swamp where they live.

As I already mentioned in the presentation of this section, I took this photo of the cheetah on my 66th birthday in Tanzania. It was a magnificent morning, where the slender feline posed on top of a termite head, observing the Serengeti steppe with total indifference. A group of wildebeests remained on alert for the speed king of the African continent.

Dawn in the middle of nature, among the foliage of the trees, typical landscape of the endless pampas of that corner of Africa, appreciate the ocher colors that color the sky that covers immense grasslands from where you can hear the laughter of the lurking hyena, The growl of the lion, its main enemy, as if disputing the sovereignty of the Serengeti, is simply the best of experiences.
