A Walk Begins in Serengeti

-

 Hello, I’m Kevin Hong.

Through my work with KOICA, I’ve had the opportunity to visit Serengeti National Park in Tanzania dozens of times. Over the years, I’ve captured countless moments of its breathtaking landscapes, vibrant wildlife, and rich culture through photographs and videos.

This blog is a space to share those unforgettable experiences —
the stories behind the scenes, the beauty of the savannah,
and the spirit of Tanzania that continues to inspire me.

While I hope to generate some income through advertising,
my main goal is to create a place where people who love Serengeti — or are just discovering it — can connect and explore together.

Through this blog, I’ll be sharing:

 Powerful photography and short video clips
 Travel reflections and safari tips
 Local culture and flavors

New posts will be added around five times a week.
Thank you for joining me on this journey.

Kevin’s Favorite Photos from the Serengeti - Part 1

Part 1: Family Bonds in the Wild A Mother’s Silent Strength In the vast golden plains of Serengeti, a mother elephant strides forward with confidence, her young calf following close behind. There’s no urgency—just the quiet rhythm of trust and care. This is motherhood in the wild: patient, strong, and constant. The Pride’s Promise Under the morning sun, lionesses and their cubs gather as one unit. While the cubs play and stumble, the mothers watch closely. Their presence offers a promise: no matter the danger, the pride protects its young. Morning Lessons on the Grass A young baboon clings to its mother as she grooms and guides. Nearby, another adult forages, but never too far. It’s a moment of learning, of bonding—proof that love and education begin early, even in the wilderness. A Gentle Gaze Three gazelles stand alert near the shrubs, one clearly younger than the rest. Though life here demands constant vigilance, tenderness isn’t lost. Their closeness speaks of quiet comfort...

Grace in the Wild: A Morning with the Giraffes

 A Quiet Serengeti Morning Three giraffes stand under the acacia tree, soaking in the morning light of the Serengeti It was one of those rare mornings in the Serengeti—silent, windless, and golden. The kind of moment where time seems to pause, and nature speaks in whispers. As I approached a lone acacia tree, a graceful trio of giraffes came into view. Standing still in the open field, they seemed almost like guardians of the savannah. A Gentle Encounter Two giraffes greet each other in a tender display of necking—part affection, part ritual Two of them stepped closer, slowly wrapping their long necks around each other. It wasn’t aggression—it was more like a dance. A tender gesture, full of unspoken meaning. Watching them, I was reminded of how even in the wild, bonds are formed with care and grace. Together as One Leaning into one another, the giraffes stood as if sharing a private conversation Their movements were synchronized, calm, and deeply connected. In that quiet harmo...

Two Against the Wind: A Quiet Hour with Cheetah Brothers

  Photographed on April 14, 2019, Serengeti National Park Under the scattered shade of an acacia tree, two cheetahs stood side by side—calm, lean, and alert. The afternoon breeze brushed across the savannah, carrying scents only they could understand. They didn’t move much, but their eyes were always scanning—quiet, precise, present. Under the acacia's shade, they stood quietly, surveying the land Their silence didn’t mean stillness—it meant focus. For nearly an hour, I watched them from a respectful distance. Sometimes they both looked in the same direction. Sometimes one sat while the other stood. They moved not out of impatience, but with purpose—like performers in a silent duet, waiting for their cue. Their heads turned in perfect harmony—brothers in focus One stood, one sat—but their eyes followed the same path Cohesion in posture, awareness in stillness These were likely brothers—a cheetah coalition. Unlike the solitary lives of females, male siblings often stay tog...
