Dear Diary,
Lots to catch up on...too much going on and not enough sleep...
Day 2 of Safari. I've never been so physically exhausted. I've logged about 10 hours sleep in the past 5 days, but Samburu Ntl. Park was well worth staying awake for. 40 miles north of the Equator, we're "up with the animals"...
...I'm learning Swahili from our driver, George (1 of 5). I've taken what seems to be thousands of pictures of dov (elephant), twiga (giraffe), and simba (lion). Disney did their research...
...Another game drive at 4:00 yielded National Geographic photos of a leopard and cub with their fresh Impala kill. Is this place for real?!
- Pros:the friendliest people and most amazing wildlife
- Cons:The price of the airline ticket to get there!
- In a nutshell:Well worth the adventure!

Nice page ! Interesting read. Cheers Rob
great page! I would love to get back to Africa!
I did the safari in Tanzania not Kenya, but the area is the same, and also the vehicle, it seems. Nice tips and well written. And croco I tried once. Too fat in my opinion... :-)
Kenya is enchanting and you look to have had a memorable experience there. Nice tips ... !!Doc
