Heading out on safari

The Seronera gravel airstrip is the biggest one in the Serengeti, and a staging point for most of the safari trips to the safari camps in the surrounding areas. When I flew through it was full of planes and tourists with their luggage heading to the various locations around the Serengeti to see the wildlife on the spring grasses, Tanzania.

    I can imagine the sense of excitement of the people waiting there to board their planes. I can also imagine that for many it isn't easy to meet the size and weight restrictions for luggage.

    This is a very nice shot of the people and their luggage. I've landed on a gravel airstrip before, and it's a little spooky at first.

    Wonderful capture of the scene! Just a thought, but you might want to clone out the bit of wing and tail on the right.
