Tanzania – Serengeti National Park
Vast, diverse and live. This is the world famous Serengeti National Park.

Earlier this month, I went to Hong Kong to attend OpenStack Summit and finally got a chance to visit places, whose names are so familiar to me since my childhood, in person.
Northern Tanzania is just full of wonders. Between Ngorongoro and Serengeti, Oldupai Gorge is one of the most important paleoanthropology sites that answers the question, "where did mankind originate?"
Our initial impression about Portland was not positive, but visiting the shopping district and the Pearl District changed our mind - the city is lovely and alive.
The sun dispersed the clouds magically on our final day at the park. We were lucky to see many faces of the majestic Mt. Rainier.
It's nice day for hiking but difficult for photography. At the end of the day, nothing beat the feeling of sitting in the cozy lodge, watching the gloomy weather outside and having a cold beer after a long walk.
We went to Mt. Rainier with the expectation to see blooming wildflowers against the majestic mountains, but we only had a glimpse of the mountain before the clouds swallowed in everything.
Although the tribe visit might be staged, we got a chance to know how Tanzanians live in the rural area near Lake Eyasi.
At Lake Manyara, I finally corrected my misunderstanding about East African Rift Valley - there is no valley, but more like a long cliff.
