Alpha adventures: Tanzania (Feb 20)

In February 2020 I escaped the cold Afghan climate for two weeks in Tanzania! A week spent on safari across some of Tanzania's famous national parks, and a week spent by the beach in Zanzibar!

There were so many nature highlights, but in summary included seeing the big 5: lion, leopard, rhinoceros, elephant, and cape buffalo; some pretty epic birdwatching; and adding African dive sites to the places around the world I've dived.

Altogether, I spotted 145 bird species (not all recorded on iNat, complete list in eBird), and 48 other species, including 4 feline species, 3 primate species, and 10 nudibranch species.
