On Photo Safari in Tanzania

Chris & Cami Photography will be closed July 26th - August 13th. Cami & I will be on vacation...WOOHOOO! As most of you know, I was born and raised in the Congo (DRC). And Cami & I LOVE to travel!!!

For years it's been a dream of mine to return to the amazing continent that is Africa and share the experience with my beautiful bride! The first half of the trip we'll be on Photo Safari. We land at Kilimanjaro International Airport, tour Arusha for a couple days, see the Ngorongoro Crater (some call the Eighth Wonder of the World), then travel NW through the Serengeti during the Great Migragion. We eventually end up in Bunda, a small town on the east coast of Lake Victoria where we'll stay with missionary friends of my parents, where we'll spend the second half getting to know the locals and relaxing. Then we head SW around source of the Nile to Mwanza where we'll take a small bush plane, flying back over the Serengeti, and in to Kilimanjaro International Airport for our flight home.

We do not anticipate having any cell phone coverage or internet access the entire time! We will respond to email and return phone calls as soon as possible upon our return. Oh, and don't worry...we'll probably take a FEW pictures to share with you when we get back! ;-)

oh yea- On Monday Tonya and l leave with the two baboons (cody and ella) across the second largest island on the east coast (johns island) and venture 235 feet in the air across the Aurther Ravennel concrete jungle bridge, scoot thru the populated village in Mt. Pleasant, drive by the 250 year old tradition basket weaving huts in rural awendaw (stop for a biscut at the Seawee Outpost- the best ham). Then we tuff it out into whats possibally the most air polluted town east of clinton, SC (Georgetown) and end our journey cruzing the Ocean boulevard to spend a week with her parents in Surfside. If I make it with a week with Jack (sorry tonya) then we will turn around and head back to Johns island.
