Elephants

Animals of Africa

Reticulated Giraffe

Grevyi Zebra

Orix and Zebra

Baboon, actually there were a group of these guys that visited our hotel while I was at the pool. I didn't have my camera then and they got chased away and that is when they ran off behind our rooms and started fighting in the trees and ran across the river. Susan was in her room at the time and didn't really want to go out till I got back. The noise is quite chilling, and these same guys had kept our guide awake the night before after they started screaming after hearing a lion in the area.

We probably saw about 100 elephants.

These guys or I should probably say gals, because the guys go rogue when they grow up and are forced out of the herd by their mothers, were in the river bed digging holes in search of water. All the other animals tend to follow them because of this.

Out of Africa

I am back, and have just started going through my pictures. The trip was fantastic.  Just to think two days ago I was on SAFARI!! How cool is that. 
We stayed in a great hotel in the Samburu Game Reserve, the Sarova Shaba Game Lodge. This guy a Samburu tribes man, Leklawai, hung around the restaurant during our meals. A really nice guy but he spoke very little English. He did teach us a few words, but I think that I have forgotten most of them.

Rwanda with Ian Rankin

Today is the our last day in Rwanda, so far we have had a great time. I will have many pictures and stories to tell when I get back. This is only the second time that we have had internet access and I have not been able to do much with my mail, so sorry I havent been able to get back with anyone that has mailed me. Last night we had dinner with ian Rankin, too bad he wasn'nt the famous author, but at least it makes for an interesting story and I won' tell Roger otherwise.
