"We had a wonderful stay at the Stc safari lodge. The rooms are simple, but clean. The food was excellent, mainly from their own farm, with meat and veggie options for lunch and dinner. Very good breakfast too, with delicious watermelon juice. We got a nice tour at the farm by one of the sisters. Thank you all for an unforgettable stay. "

Another of those “oops - too close!” moments on my Dragoman trip around Southern #Africa in 2011 (see my post from a couple of days ago for an accidental close-up of a giraffe). This #lion was having a #lazy morning in the #Ngorongoro Crater, #Tanzania 🇹🇿, just a few metres from our #safari truck. My #300mm lens got me right in his #face! #LifeAtExpedia
