Trip from Kenya to Tanzania in August 2018
by Riccardo Gaiardoni
We were six friends from Italy with the same passion...travel around the amazing lands of this beautiful country, Africa! We spent nine days between Masai Mara, lake Naivasha, lake Manyara, Ngorongoro crater and Serengeti, sleeping in tents, waking up very early when the sun was rising up, “embarking” a lot of kilometers along the way with local buses and jeeps. It has been an incredibile journey, totally worth it! And here I am, sharing with you some of the moments I have been able to capture with my camera. Enjoy the view;)

And now, some shoots of life outside Safari
Kids have been part of our journey and we shared with them precious moments! They are definitively the heart of this country ! As much as we could, along the way we tried to donate some of our food. Speachless for the smiles we got in return.
In this picture you can see the typical Masai welcome dance and people of a village we visited. They explained us how to make a fire with a piece of wood and straw.
Last but not least...Milky way! In Tanzania you can see it very well :)
Thanks for watching. Hope you enjoyed these shoots :)
