Equator...which side are you on?
Our first stop on Safari, 22 December 2008
Our accomodations proved more difficult than expected.
Our weary band struggling for the next meal!
Some meals were interrupted by threats of stampeding elephant. President Taylor takes his turn with binoculars to watch for un-invited guests. If you have never been in such primative conditions, you will find this hard to believe.
Managing to prepare for meals was a constant struggle.

The river is near, and we are thirsty.
Don't leave the little ones behind!
Cool, at last!

Happy to be in water. Our guide estimated the weight of the big bull elephant in the background to be 7 tons. (See video below of 7-Ton Big Boy, before he made it to the river.)
Mr. Reticulated Giraffe loves the leaves of the acacia tree which has sharp pointed thorns closely spaced all over. He has a very skillful tongue to remove the tender leaves without injury.
Grevy's Zebra, this species is endangered.
