FIAT 850 ON SAFARI
On February 16th, 1968 Rozanne and her husband set off from Nairobi in a Fiat 850, packed to the gunwales with camping kit, for a safari in the Ngorongoro Crater and beyond.
Climbing up the Palani Hills, this little plantation named Rajakkad is like a breath of fresh air after the heat of the plains in Southern India and much worthy temple viewing in Tamil Nadu. A tea planter’s house which is utterly charming, it is a must-visit place post touring.

Animal migrations are something we like to talk about in the safari world.
