MEET KHALIDI

With 15 years of experience as a Professional Safari Guide, Khalidi is one of our most trusted experts in the field. For the past eight years with Blue Baobab Safari, he has been a cornerstone of our guiding team, known for his calm presence, sharp wildlife intuition, and deep respect for the natural rhythms of Tanzania.

His preferred area is the Serengeti, a landscape he knows with exceptional precision—from the hidden valleys where lions rest at midday to the shifting paths of the Great Migration. Guests appreciate his ability to read the bush, anticipate animal behavior, and create moments that feel both intimate and unforgettable.

Khalidi embodies the spirit of Blue Baobab Safari: professionalism, passion, and a genuine love for sharing the wilderness.

Magic overnight at Suricata Boma Lodge

After the warm dust of Tarangire or just before the vast Serengeti plains, Suricata Boma Lodge feels like a gentle pause. The Rift Valley stretches wide, and Lake Manyara glimmers in the distance as you arrive.
Hidden among lush gardens, the rooms appear like quiet retreats, wrapped in greenery and decorated with authentic ethnic touches. It’s the kind of place where you slow down without even noticing — a dip in the pool, a moment at the spa, a breath of calm before the next adventure.
A beautiful stop between parks, or the perfect way to end a safari with softness and style.

The Serval: The Silent Acrobat of the Savannah -

The Serval: The Silent Acrobat of the Savannah -

Tall ears, long legs, and a gaze that cuts through the grasslands — the serval is one of Africa’s most elegant hunters. Light as a whisper, precise as a dancer, it moves through the savannah with a confidence born from millennia of adaptation.

What makes the serval unforgettable:
• Supersonic hearing: Those oversized ears aren’t just for show. They detect the faintest rustle beneath the soil.
• Vertical mastery: A serval can leap up to three meters straight into the air to snatch birds mid flight.
• A solitary poet: It walks alone, writing its story in quiet steps and golden shadows.
• A guardian of balance: By hunting rodents, it protects crops and keeps ecosystems healthy.

There’s something magnetic about the serval — a blend of mystery, agility, and wild beauty. A reminder that the savannah is full of small miracles, not just the giants.

Mto Wa Mbu: A Window Into Rural Tanzania Tucked b

Mto Wa Mbu: A Window Into Rural Tanzania

Tucked between Tarangire and the Ngorongoro highlands, just a few minutes from the shimmering shores of Lake Manyara, lies Mto Wa Mbu — a village where everyday life unfolds with colour, texture, and irresistible charm.

At the heart of it all is the local market, a lively maze of stalls where Tanzania’s rural soul comes alive.
Here, bunches of green bananas hang in the shade, baskets overflow with beans in every colour, and fresh tomatoes, avocados, and tropical fruits brighten the pathways. Smoke rises from traditional cooking fires, artisans weave baskets with practiced hands, and farmers arrive with the morning’s harvest still carrying the scent of the earth.

The market is more than a place to shop.
It’s a crossroads of cultures, a meeting point for the many communities that call the Rift Valley home. It’s where people trade, chat, laugh, negotiate, and share stories — a daily ritual that keeps the village connected and thriving.

For travellers, Mto Wa Mbu offers a rare, intimate glimpse into authentic rural Tanzanian life.
For locals, it’s the beating heart of the community.

Mto Wa Mbu isn’t just a stop between two iconic parks.

Can you spot the odd one out in this picture?

The image was captured in Tarangire National Park last November, just before the rains arrived… and somewhere in this quiet assembly, one presence doesn’t quite belong— can you guess who is?

NotOnlyBigCats !

Banded Mongoose – Mungos mungo
The banded mongoose is probably the most commonly spotted of all the savanna mongooses—mostly because they behave like a tiny, furry marching band that forgot its sheet music.

A group of mongooses is called a pack, and they usually emerge from their den well after dawn, blinking at the sun like teenagers forced out of bed too early. Once everyone is awake and accounted for, they set off across the grass in a wonderfully undulating column, looking both cautious and determined, as if on a very important mission (which, to be fair, they are).

These playful little carnivores forage individually, each one jealously guarding its prize—be it a millipede, a beetle, or a particularly glamorous dung ball. Stealing from a neighbour is strictly frowned upon, and loud arguments may follow… but only briefly, because there are always more snacks to find.

Small, social, and endlessly entertaining, banded mongooses prove—once again—that the savanna is full of characters, not only big cats.

Crater sunrises, Maasai winds, pure wilderness…this is Entamanu.

High on the wild rim of the Ngorongoro Crater, Entamanu Ngorongoro is a place where nature feels close enough to touch. Morning mists drift across ancient landscapes, the wind carries the stories of the Maasai, and every sunrise paints the crater in colours you didn’t know existed.

From such an elevated perch, the crater unfolds like a living amphitheatre. Lions on the move, elephants tracing old paths, vast herds grazing below, flamingos shimmering on the lakes — the drama of nature plays out in real time.

This is a retreat for those who crave silence, space, and the raw poetry of East Africa. A place to slow down, breathe deeply, and feel the world in its purest form.

Majestic, timeless, and crowned by nature itself.

Majestic, timeless, and crowned by nature itself.

The Grey Crowned Crane—recently reassessed on the 2024 IUCN Red List—is one of Africa’s most iconic birds. Its golden crown and graceful movements light up wetlands, grasslands, and savannahs across eastern and southern Africa.

Diurnal, social, and deeply bonded, these cranes forage through open landscapes, gather in flocks outside the breeding season, and dance to strengthen their lifelong pair ties. Their presence is a reminder of the delicate ecosystems we work to protect.

At Blue Baobab Safari, we celebrate species like this for both their beauty and the wild spaces they represent.

📸 Spotted in the wild over the Christmas period.

While the world slows down for the holidays, the wilderness never takes a break.
Out here, nature keeps writing its own stories — raw, unscripted, and spectacular.

Wildlife never goes on leave, and every sunrise brings a new scene worth pausing for.
From quiet moments to breathtaking encounters, the bush always has a way of reminding us what a gift it is to witness it.
