Christopher, we did not actually see the cheetah do the killing but I have pictures of her and her 2 cuubs eating, they were abouty 15m from the truck. nWe’ve had lions rub against our vehicles. The other morning, 5:45, walking to the toilet an elephant walked out the other side of the building no more than 15m from me.

Hey, that early and the dark tree area starts moving and has tusks you think you are still sleeping. Due to light I didn’t get an exceptioinal photo but do have one. For this portion I experienced so much that I just cant remember it all to tell you.

Again, this is a camping trip. I would recommend it for anyone who leans that way. If you’d rather just do the Serengeti/ngorongoro there are quite the flyt in lodges there. Quite the variety of landscapes. People are friendly, here in Tanznia they speak a bit less english and that is accented. Kids wave at the truck all the time. Sellers here are back to the aggressive type like Egypt.
Hot showers last night!!!!
I guess that’s it as I just can’t remember all I want to say, this has been a 2 week experience that I’ll never forget. luv, moi

Safariing away

Well, I am down in the SW corner of Kenya, Kericho. This is a camping safari, we set up our own tents nightly but do have a camp cook. We went from Nairobi up to Naguru then back to Lake Nakuru national park then to the Masai Mara national reserve. I’ve seen all types of antelope and gazelles, lions, wildbeasts, cheetahs (including on a kill), giraffes, elephants rhinos, etc. It is quite interesting and I’m having fun.
What a basic trip, cold showers, bathrooms that barely fit our description, good food, travel in a large safari truck, what a different country.
Tomorrow we go into Tanzania for the last week of this trip with our first night on the shore of lake victoria.
Having a good time with our group, mostly auzzies. Did a tea plantation tour today.
Hopefully find a better connection soon or else may not post until the 15.
