Kenya is such an amazing place to visit. The animals are so beautiful in their natural environment and the people in their bright red robes are so breathtaking. It is a trip of a lifetime and one that you will never forget.

"For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move; to feel the needs and hitches of our life more nearly; to come down off this feather-bed of civilization, and find the globe granite underfoot and strewn with cutting flints."
- Robert Louis Stevenson

Nice Photos and a good travelogue. as for the Hippos- we saw 4, but they rarely go near local fishermen- only boats who don't know any better and annoy them...

Thanks for rating my Nepal tips. You didn't see rhinos in Chitwan but you got to see much more wildlife in Kenya.

Thanks for the comment on my Machu Picchu pages. You'll have a great time! Loved your Kenya travelogue. It totally took me back to my trip, also in 1997. I could actually smell the fresh morning air I remember from our morning game drives! Great!
