Today, in great weather, we went across the festival grounds to the livestock market in Arolsen. Interesting as always, lots to see and snack on. Today we first had a delicious steak with cabbage at Schinderhannes. A crepe with cinnamon and sugar as well as a matjes herring roll were also on the plan

Today we did our traditional stroll through the Paderborn Libori. For us, this included a delicious pizza, cotton candy, and for me, a fish roll. The weather was great and there were fewer people around. There were some new attractions, such as the 80 m high carousel and digital driving fun. All years

Today we had fresh coconut juice, for which the coconuts were brought down from the tree. It wasn't a demonstration; we watched as a lodge employee climbed the tree, knocked down about ten coconuts, and very skillfully opened one for us. Both the juice and the flesh were delicious. Then he opened an

After a final safari, which went as far as the Batchuma Gate in the south of Tsavo East, we drove towards Mombasa. 2 hours before our destination, we took a lunch break with our packed lunches where all travelers stop. Shortly before 4 p.m. we reached our accommodation directly on the Indian Ocean. Check

One last fantastic safari in Tsavo East. We set off at 5, 6, and 7 a.m., after all the luggage was packed in the jeep and the lunches were in the car. We were excited to see what we would photograph. It was worth it, although we did cover a fair distance to see everything. But see for yourselves!

Today we left for Tsavo East National Park at 7:00 am for a safari. We didn't see that many animals, but it was still a great safari. While we didn't see many four-legged creatures, we went on a photo hunt for birds and we had plenty of success.

A day late, Wi-Fi in the bush is problematic. After lunch, we started our safari in Tsavo East National Park in 30-degree heat. We didn't see that many animals. The highlight of this tour was a herd of elephants on a high mountain and two owls that were barely visible in the trees.

The journey, which started early, was rough in parts. Because of a bridge washed away by floodwaters, we had to take a detour through difficult terrain; without four-wheel drive and our excellent driver, we wouldn't have made it. But we were rewarded with adventure.

Today we set off on safari very early with our packed lunches. It was fantastic and full of adventure. We were able to observe and photograph many animals in their natural habitat. Since we drove a long way along Lake Amboseli, we also saw many water birds this time. But see for yourselves.

Kenya: Day 7, March 7, 2026
Off to our first safari! Shortly after entering the park, the heavens opened. The roof closed, the windows fogged up, and we couldn't go anywhere. After an hour, the rain stopped, giving us the chance to photograph a cheetah, a family of elephants, and a hyena. An eventful day!

This morning at 4:43 a.m., we were woken up. The Talek River had burst its banks, and we had to evacuate the camp. Luckily, we had packed almost everything last night. Then everything happened very quickly: getting dressed, packing the remaining things, the porters waiting

At 5:30, 6:30, and 7:30, the safari to the Maasai Mara began. The first animals we saw were two jackals. This continued throughout the entire drive. We opened the roof of the jeep, and we had excellent visibility. Consequently, we took a lot of photos. The biggest highlight of the
