  • An elephant and calf emerge from the bush and surprised us. A few moments after this photo was taken the mother charged us when the calf got to close to us! Definitely one of the scariest and most awe inspiring moments of the safari and a reminder to treat nature with the respect it deserves. #lifeatexpedia #elephant #safari #tanzania #africa

We just sat and watched them for well over an hour. If only a photo could replicate the sounds these impressive birds were making!

An unforgettable stay!

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.
