Arusha, Kenya - enroute to Nairobi
Roadside markets and roadside bargaining (from the bus!!)
Our leader Johnson with our driver Samson and cook Susie!!!
Ngorongoro Crater Conservation Area
Ngorongoro Crater Conservation Area Again
Serengeti Day Three!!!
A herd of 19+ Elephants (the whole family!!!)
Believe it or not, this is where the truck decided to 'blow its tyre!' and where I am pointing is where we last saw a leopard!!! Girls on 'Cat' lookout while Boys changed the tyre!!
The Leopard that was spotted!!
Just another Pride of Lions!!
The UGLY hyenas!!
Serengeti Day Two
Serengeti, the next day!!
This was the cheetah moving away from the rock outcrop due to the arrival of 2 Lioness and cubs. She had to leave her cubs there, literally only just born, to try and draw the attention away from the cubs. If the Lions had found them, they would of eaten them. She went a couple of hundred metres away and just sat and watched the Lions.
A morning chew for this Giraffe.
The HIPPO Pond, aka THE POO pond. One never knew how much gas came out of a hippos rear end until this trip!!
THIS WAS AMAZING. Newly killed buffalo, a feast and this male LION was (excuse the french) 'buggered'. You should of seen his stomach going up and down and how physically tired he actually was from eating. He struggled to even move his head and didn't care that we were only metres from him!!
Serengeti sunrise, beautiful!
Serengeti National Park - Tanzania
Lake Victoria - Mumbosa
Still couldn't keep away from a bike!!! But this time dragged Shelley and Brett along with me (actually it may have been Shelleys idea). So we did a 2 hour cycle into the wee town we stayed by Lake Victoria. Great market areas, fish, fruit, veges, beans etc, weird feeling though in town, but great to have all the young kids running out to us yelling 'Jambo'!!
Below, Lake Victoria, beautiful until you got up close and saw all the algae!!! Even the Lonely Planet suggests not swimming in the lake due to those wee bugs that go places one doesn't want to know about.....
