The view from my room in Mombasa - seems like ages since I was there!!
The table where we had many great lunches, dinners and games of Trivial Pursuit.
The driveway to Kimita - the location of Phil's dad's house and Phil's cottage.
Half of the wounds I've been dressing and cleaning for the past two months.
The other half of the wounds (and there's also the side/back wounds - but they didn't require quite as much attention).
Our plane and runway in the Serengeti on first safari with Steve and Jane.
Swervin' in the Serengeti
Tea time near the Gol Mountains
You can make out our tent at Nesera Rock, TZ in the bottom center.
View of a sunset over the plains from our tent - baboons live in the tree on the left.
Greystoke Lodge - where Lake Tanganyika meets the Mahale Mountains.
Not a bad spot for an upstairs afternoon read, or an evening's meal under the stars-only 12 allowed.
Upon finding the chimps despite the rain, we had to put on masks to protect the animals.
Do I have something in my eye? (They were about ten feet from me)
Sundowner (noun): beautiful spot with great sunset and wine or cocktail.
Resting grounds after long dinners and hiking for chimps.
Not a great shot, but that's a leopard walking about three feet from me.
Hopefully you've learned by now that this is called a sundowner.
You lose the quality and color on this small size, but you get the gist.
Just to make sure you realize how close we get to the animals-these lions mated five minutes later.
Just another example of the closeness to the wildlife.
Pretty plains of the Mara with a typical lone acacia at the horizon.
Again - the color gets washed out in these small versions. :(
The airstrip at the Masai Mara.Hopefully this helps you imagine things a bit better. Don't forget to read the other new posts, there's a couple. ~EKY V.
