During my trip to Tanzania, I used my nature journal and my pocket notebook for drawing and writing and I used my phone for photos, short videos, and audio recordings. With this diverse toolbox I tried to document my observations, feeling, and impressions.
The following is a recording where I review my second day:
It was the first day of the Nature Journal Safari and contains many of my first landscape scale impressions from the hours of cross-country driving.
One correction from the audio regarding the hanging beehives. I think they are not actually managed hives but traps for enticing homeless swarms.
I was not expecting so many agaves.
While we were waiting for our permits to enter Tarangire national park I sketched the elephant skull then posed in front of it. Thanks to Dana Vallarino for the photo.
A page of sketches from that morning.
I took this photo when Impalas were so fresh and novel. By the time we left the Serengeti, Impalas and Gazelle by the hundreds were commonplace.
