45. Kaziranga

Blog entries, Locations
Tawang may have been touristic, and the Ziro Valley, and Majuli. But with Kaziranga National Park we have reached a new dimension. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, this game reserve is especially known for it being the only place in the world for the one-horned rhinoceros. And there are quite a lot of them, together [...]

22. the bog

Blog entries
After a few days city exploration it was time for some nature again. Outside Riga is the Kemeri bog, a kind of wetland resulting from the differential filling in of post-glacial valleys, which ultimately led to an area full of small lakes, called bog pools. The area is part of a national park, and has [...]

Argentinian Mesopotamia

Articles
In December 2022 we travel through the Northeast of Argentina, exploring not only the national parks El Palmar and Esteros del Ibera – with lots of wildlife, especially birds -, but also the hypermodern Yacyreta hydroelectric complex and the 18th Century Jesuit ruins of San Ignacio Mini. Our tea excursion around Obera is being cut [...]

27. Hortobagy National Park

Blog entries, Locations
Hortobagy, the tourist centre of the Hungarian puszta, or plains, is indeed very touristic, even outside the season. And the plains aren’t that extensive after all. Having driven down to Debrecen, all the way in the southeast of the country, we have covered already part of the Great Plains. The Puszta is what the Hungarians [...]

the Namib Desert

Blog entries, Locations
April 13th, 1991 – Windhoek Windhoek, Namibia’s capital, is quite a nice town, with a small centre that, on further inspection, turns out to be almost the entire town. Pretty houses, shopping malls, supermarkets, all very well organised. But coming from Harare in Zimbabwe, the thing that strikes me here most is that almost everybody [...]

Mikumi and the Selous

Blog entries, Locations
Mikumi National Park Not only Bagamoyo was within driving distance of Dar es Salaam, there were also a couple of easily accessible game parks. The most visited by Dar residents was perhaps Mikumi National Park, at about 4 hours drive over a tarmac road inland, never mind the potholes. We would leave the office early [...]
