Traveling has been a passion of mine since I got my first passport at 6 months old (no joke!) I sat on my moms lap and made gaga sounds at the photographer. I started traveling alone at age 6 to visit my Aunt in Missouri every Summer. I haven't stopped since. Where I go, my camera follows. I love experiencing new places and capturing each one in my own way.
When my parents and I were planning this trip to Africa, I only had two requests. To go on an actual safari and to see Lalibella, Ethiopia (next blog!) We chose Tanzania for the safari because it is smaller than Kenya and has less tourists. What a beautiful country! So green and the clouds are amazing. I saw some gorgeous animals, up close at Lake Menyara, the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. I would highly recommend visiting Tanzania some day!
My parents, married 41 years in August!
We got the opportunity to visit a traditional Maasai Village where they welcomed us with their dancing
And I met this little cutie, Nema!
Incredible images, Melissa!
Wow, Mel. These are incredible. What an awesome experience (minus the stomach bug). I hope you are getting better!
love the 4th one down…the giraffe! what an amazing trip!
Leopard in a tree. That’s what I’ve been dying to see on my safari trips! Awesome.
OMG, that is SOOOO amazing! These are images from a magazine. I hope you’re blowing some of these up for your walls. I love the one of the giraffe in the grass! WOW
OMG, these are unreal!!! I can’t even pick a favorite. Did you see any mini giraffes like the one in the DirecTV commercial? I want one.
