Day 3 – Safari (Moru Kopjes & Gong Rock)
Breakfast at the camp this morning before leaving at 7:30. We are heading South today in search of the Black Rhino. It was quite the drive so Ally drove with a purpose today so we could get there, search then begin the long drive back. Driving with a purpose here has a whole new meaning for me…lol!
There is a Black Rhino project here where the monitor the species to help from extension. Poaching here is still a huge problem so there are rangers in this area who live on top of the cliffs to help protect them. We learned that often poachers are just killed here because too many have been arrested but go back to poaching when they get out so it’s easier to just eliminate them. Something to be said for repeat offenders of violent crimes in the states. Visited the Rhino information center to learn about their history. A great guide full of knowledge and passion for these animals. You would have to love it to live way out here. You sure can’t just run down the street for milk if you forgot it on your way home.
No luck in spotting a Rhino today though. Since there are only 23 monitored animals on these planes, and they mostly graze alone, there was no telling where they were. The trip however gave us the opportunity to see the Kopjes, which are forms of rocks like none I have ever seen. There are many difference Kopjes, named for the tribe that lived there many centuries ago. This is Massai country. When in Arusha, we saw many of the Massai tribe which are easy to spot as the men still wear the red draped clothes as their daily attire. Would have been something to see these people still living upon on these rocks. There was one particular area where steps have been built so that you can climb to the top. Ally said he normally would not allow us to climb there unless there were other vehicles around because it has been known to have lions up there. But we all agreed we were game to try it. I know…wreckless right? Ally led the way making lots of noise to scare anything that might have been visiting the area. A few remnants of lions were present but no lions to be found. Let me say how glad we are we made that decision. What an amazing site from up there.
Back in the jeep and off to a lunch spot for a packed lunches. Arrived a favorite spot by many and were told we couldn’t be here because the President of Germany and the President of Tanzania would be visiting there soon. They were already setting up a huge spread for them by the Zebra refreshment company…lol! So we left in search of a new lunch spot.
Now for the excitement of the day. On our way to find a new spot we ran across a pride of lions laying in the shade of a huge tree not far from the road. It was an amazing site. 10 juvenile cubs in all and 7 lionesses (we never did see the males) however it was the same pride we saw yesterday, noted by one with a monitoring collar and one with a huge gash in her nose. Within a few minutes, one of the females raised her head and they all looked in one direction towards a herd of zebras who were making their way across the road into the area of the lions. In a split second 5 of the lionesses each rose and moved with grace to do their particular job. Can you believe this? A kill is just about to happen right in front of us. I didn’t think I wanted to see this at all until I watched how these amazing animals worked together with patience and purpose to feed their family. In a matter of maybe 15 minutes, they had completely formed a parameter around the herd and were waiting for their opportunity. In a split second one lioness made a move and the herd scattered, charged, ran…you name it. One of the lioness had to lay down in the road to keep from getting trampled. In that split second their opportunity was lost…they got away! We have a video of the whole thing and believe it or not it was sad. I hate to see the zebra loose it’s life but it was such an amazing thing to watch. Ally put it well, the lion laid down because no one wanted to die that day. They all made it back to the tree with the cubs to rest from their big chase.
We needed to make a trip back to the airstrip anyway (I’ll mention in a future post why) so decided to just have lunch at the airport. Now, keep in mind, without thinking, when were going to the same airstrip where both Presidents were expected in shortly. A guard at the entrance just let us on in, we parked and walked to the small building with our lunch boxes. We laughed because you can’t even get within 5 miles of the airports at home when our president is flying in. Tons of safari vehicles lined up to meet their arrival. A few armed guards and mostly people like us standing around with cameras. There was no concern to be standing along the strip for a photo op so I took it. Now, I have no idea who the president of Germany even is but figured it would be a great moment for Ally to have photos of “his” president. Planes landed and I snapped pictures of anyone coming off the plan. Ended up with great pictures of the German president but the Tanzania president was not there. Only the Interior ministers were there to meet him. Fun adventure to this trip, even though our original trip to the airstrip was not a success 🙁
Before heading back to camp we saw another Leopard in a tree. It’s so funny to see how they just chill and are so uninterested in us.
Back at camp at 4:30. Showers again at 6. Dinner at 7. Tonight we were joined by all the staff of the camp, except the chef. We had asked them all to join us when we first got there and they said they would on the last night. It was a great meal and a lot of fun. This crew has over exceeded our expectations. It will be hard to top it at the next camp. During our dinner, we were joined by a Hyena, just beside the tent. That just sort of cracks me up. I watched JJ leave the dining tent and walk to the kitchen tent, in the dark, with the Hyena sitting right there. He said, He knows me! They also shared that a few weeks ago a pride brought down a buffalo right in the camp area and stayed there for a solid week. JJ said they had approached him carrying the buckets of water to the tents to get a drink. He just dropped the buckets of water, walked away, let them get their drink and then picked up his buckets and carried on. OMG!!!! I guess there is something to be said for living in this country and feeling comfortable.
Back to the tent to be zipped in at 8:30. We packed, well Rich packed, played a few hands of gin and I caught up on my blog posts. Heard several lions throughout the night. I don’t think I will ever get tired of this. We leave for 2nd camp location tomorrow.

Looking back now, it feels surreal but here I am. Back when the new competitive
season started, I got obsessed in online games – other competitive
titles. I wanted to dominate, and I wasn’t willing to admit how impatient I had become.
After another frustrating match, I stumbled across a forum thread talking about “boosting tools”.
At first I just read out of curiosity, but the more I scrolled, the more it
felt like a secret world.
People were bragging showing how they climbed from low ranks to high ones in days.
It looked like magic. And of course, it was too good to be true.
I won’t lie, I actually got close to buying something.
One seller even messaged me privately. That’s when it hit me.
I found threads from players who got hardware bans.
Some even wrote how they couldn’t undo the damage.
Everything clicked.
Instead of cheating, I walked away and focused on improving the legitimate way.
Now, when I see people chasing cheats, I just think: the crash always comes.
Hopefully this story saves someone else time.
I visited many web sites except the audio feature for audio songs existing at this web page is genuinely wonderful.

Hello, this weekend is pleasant for me, because this occasion i am reading this fantastic educational post here
at my home.
I’m really loving the theme/design of your site. Do you ever run into any browser compatibility issues? A handful of my blog audience have complained about my website not working correctly in Explorer but looks great in Chrome. Do you have any recommendations to help fix this issue?
You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to be really
something that I think I would never understand.
It seems too complex and extremely broad for me.
I am looking forward for your next post, I’ll try to get the hang of it!
Howdy! I could have sworn I’ve been to this website before but after
looking at many of the posts I realized it’s new to me.
Nonetheless, I’m definitely happy I came across it and I’ll be book-marking it and checking back frequently!
Всем привет!
Недавно начал собирать свой компьютер и наткнулся на конфигуратор ПК. Это реально удобный инструмент: можно подобрать процессор, видеокарту, оперативку и другие комплектующие с учётом бюджета и целей — будь то игры, работа или монтаж видео. Особенно ценна возможность сразу видеть совместимость компонентов и ориентировочную стоимость сборки.
А вы как выбираете комплектующие? Какие конфигураторы ПК считаете самыми удобными и точными при сборке собственного компьютера? Подскажите где лучше [url=https://www.tumblr.com/mariablum/805345164397887488/nvidia-geforce-rtx-5060?source=share]nvidia geforce rtx 5060[/url]
Всем привет!
Скоро предстоит мероприятие, и снова возникла тема выбора корпоративного подарка. Поймал себя на мысли, что стандартные варианты уже мало кого удивляют, а хочется подарить что-то уместное, полезное и при этом не слишком банальное. Особенно сложно угодить, когда аудитория разная — сотрудники, клиенты, партнёры.
Интересно узнать ваше мнение: какие идеи корпоративного подарка вы считаете универсальными и удачными, а от каких вариантов лучше сразу отказаться? Помогите выбрать [url=https://mymoscow.forum24.ru/?1-6-0-00037539-000-0-0-1768049462]елочные игрушки купить[/url]

You are so intelligent. You know therefore significantly in terms
of this subject, produced me in my view believe it from so many numerous
angles. Its like women and men are not fascinated until it is something to
accomplish with Girl gaga! Your own stuffs excellent.
At all times take care of it up!

truly enjoy reading through your posts. Can you recommend any other
blogs/websites/forums that deal with the same topics?
Thanks for your time!
Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point.
You definitely know what youre talking about, why throw away your
intelligence on just posting videos to your site when you could be giving
us something informative to read?
I’ll never forget this, but the first time I got involved with
a professional club’s digital operations, everything I thought I
knew about modern sports completely collapsed.
I always believed sports were about competition, but when I saw how the entire industry had turned into this massive
digital economy, I honestly felt overwhelmed.
What hit me hardest was realizing that cybercriminals weren’t going after “IT servers” anymore.
They were attacking everything — medical reports.
One breach, and millions could be lost instantly.
And the scariest part?
I saw it with my own eyes.
One day, during a routine check, someone mentioned how a data leak nearly destroyed a negotiation. That was the
moment I understood how thin the line really is between order and
total digital disaster.
But the real shock came when I looked deeper into betting
platforms.
I swear, I always thought they were just websites.
But no.
They are ultra-sensitive digital ecosystems. One tiny manipulation can shift odds globally or make entire markets react like
they’re on fire.
When I learned how seriously regulated environments handle security — especially the kind you see described in official breakdowns
— it opened my eyes. If anyone wants to understand how this level of
protection actually works, they can always look it
up directly from the source. The full explanations are there, and they’re honestly worth reading.
Inside the clubs, it was even more surreal. I saw databases full of transfer
negotiations — things that could ruin a season if leaked.
And yet the biggest weakness wasn’t the firewalls.
It was the people.
One emotional click, one careless moment, and the whole system can fall apart.
I watched entire staff units go through security training because phishing had become
a daily threat.
Compliance teams were everywhere too — checking access,
reviewing logs, forcing documentation. I used to think compliance was
boring, but now I understand that without it,
the entire digital side of sports would melt into chaos.
And the future… that’s another story.
AI detection, automated response systems, cloud architectures — it felt
like watching the digital version of an arms race.
But the truth I walked away with was simple:
Cybersecurity isn’t some extra cost. It’s the only thing holding this
whole world together.
And honestly, after everything I saw, I can say the
system I was reviewing really did an exceptional job. They handled their mission far better than I expected.
If anyone wants to dig deeper or understand how these structures really work, I’d definitely suggest getting more
information directly from the source. It’s all publicly
explained — and believe me, once you read it, you’ll never look at sports or betting the same
way again.
