Join Klaus Lorenz for a presentation on his trip to Tanzania. This presentation will take us on an adventurous African Safari to view the spectacular wildlife of Tanzania and visit and learn about the life of the Maasai.

We will travel with slides through Tanzania’s legendary wildlife parks - Tarangire National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater Conservation Area - and fully explore the vast wildlife-rich savanna of Serengeti National Park where we encounter elephants, cheetahs, buffalos, hyenas, giraffes, zebras, hippos, crocodiles and a wealth of bird life.

Each June and again in December on the Serengeti plains, a huge area the size of Connecticut ,animals resume a journey to and from the Maasai Mara National Park in Kenya, a journey they have been making for millions of years and which is the largest mammal migration of wildlife species unrivaled anywhere on the planet. The caldera of Ngorongoro marks the ancient walls of a collapsed volcano which probably once was the size of Kilimanjaro and is now a haven for wildlife.

Tanzania is also the home of the Olduvai Gorge, the site where some of the earliest human remains on earth have been discovered by the Leakeys in 1959. We will then visit the " bomos" of the the cattle-herding Maasai who proudly continue their traditional way of life with few inroads from modern civilization .
