somewhere in the Serengeti, time for a low pass and chase the zebras. Beware the zebras! One “shot down” a C 206 some years ago. Seriously, the pilot was a bit too enthusiast in his successive low passes, came too low on one and hit a zebra somewhat hidden in the dust… the people on board survived the subsequent cartwheel.

on lake Natron, a salt lake.
either we use an existing hut, a tree or the wing to set the clinic…
no cheating in this picture, the slope is at 11%, check the people standing upright. 400m long at 6500 ft high, on a crater slope. Quite challenging.
outside Ngorongoro Crater. This airstrip is either a dust bowl or a Scottish type green area.
