TV presenter and journalist Natalia Rodríguez realized one of her biggest dreams as she ventured into Africa to get up-close with elephants. The star chronicled her incredible Tanzanian journey across social media platforms, showcasing not only elephants but also a variety of wildlife including lions, leopards, and boars.

Safari of a Lifetime in Tanzania’s National Parks:

After waiting for two years, Rodríguez finally visited Serengeti National Park in Tanzania, a location she had long yearned to explore. In Serengeti and Tarangire, she had the unforgettable experience of being close to elephants, which she described as an emotion that left her “speechless.” Adding icing to the cake, she even witnessed a baby elephant being nursed.

The Diverse Faces of Tanzania:

Rodríguez didn’t just stop at the wildlife. Since early September, she has been soaking up Tanzania’s rich culture and history. Each of her posts is a tapestry of curious facts and stunning visuals of Africa’s flora and fauna.

From Giant Turtles to Queen’s Birth Home:

One of her first captivating experiences involved meeting giant turtles, some of whom are as old as 198 years. “They are on Prison Island, 5 km off the coast of Zanzibar. This island was once a slave holding area and later a malaria and yellow fever hospital in the 1870s,” she elaborated in her post.

Her itinerary also includes a visit to the birth home of the legendary singer Freddie Mercury of the band Queen.

An Eye for Cultural Sensitivity:

While in Zanzibar, Rodríguez opted for more modest attire in line with the country’s Muslim majority, not wanting to be out of sync with local customs.

More Than Just Wildlife Photography:

In addition to capturing breathtaking images of various animal species, Rodríguez also shared that park employees periodically clean up animal bones. These bones are later displayed in museums or other places for photographic purposes, serving as a reminder of the circle of life.
