The first time I saw the mountain gorillas in Uganda I was beyond belief that they indeed live like almost like a human being. Their hands, their eyes, and everything about them are so human like that it made me think of our relationship to them. Perhaps indeed they are distant cousins! It made me shiver.

But the study of these gorillas’ behaviors that is shown to be by a researcher was truly amazing. The government should finance the protection of these gorillas. It would be sad if our children will not be able to see them in person.

Now, what amazes me also is the wild life present in Africa. There mere trip to see the migratory birds in Zimbabwe is beyond any African adventure safaris copycat in other continents. They are like flying rainbows. The birds are unbelievable. The researcher I was with would show me the nursery or the care center for the birds that cannot fly due to injury or for some reason. This time seeing the birds up close is totally different. I requested without shame to touch the plumage that dressed up these birds.

The yearly migration is also beyond belief. The sounds! The sights! Frightened me to the fact that I am a creation without weapons; the animals are strong, fast and restless. They cannot be stop. The sound almost frightened me to flight too. The funny thing is we ar on a top spot and we are seeing these animals from our binoculars but the vibrations from the earth caused by millions of hooves would startle you.

I started at Tanzania and was building homes together with the locals. Though I am a blue eyed white skinned human being, the locals accepted me with open arms and such tenderness that made me feel at home. Both the locals and I do no have the extra dollars to spend to enter game reserves in Tanzania. Africa safari tours are expensive you know.

But the locals are generous a pack and offered to take me to their home-made safari. Which made me wonder what the would-be safari consist of? Then the whole group went to pack for our lunches and leave the children to the care of their mothers. Well, the men took then luxury to tour their white guests.

I am an architecture and an engineer graduate and is helping the locals build their homes. They were so delighted with the result that they returned the favor by giving me a tour of the country. the trip was mad with no frills and thus so it is plainly beautiful.

Since we have no money to enter expensive game reserve we decided to just take a trip on the boundaries of these game reserves and see the animals for free. On our first day we were so lucky to come face to face with a giraffe who took all the luxury to bow down and take the leaf from my hand.

African Safari Tanzania is indeed a memorable experience. Every trip to the boundaries of this reserve means a glimpse of the animals.
