On our trip we had two designated photographers and one videographer, so I didn't really take too many pictures. Until I get copies of those, I do want to share what I have as its fresh on my mind.
So - let's get started! I must make a disclaimer here - I like to take humorous shots occasionally, so if my lens found you in a compromising position, please don't be offended. I did it on purpose. Ha!
We arrived on Saturday, May 24th in Nairobi. After going to our guesthouse and cleaning up a bit, we took an afternoon game drive in Nairobi National Park. It's a game reserve right on the edge of a city of 3 million people - not sure you'd want to be in the suburbs here! And yes, there are lions in the park, though we didn't see them.
Looking out over the savanna - now where are those lions??
Our fearless leader Greg - contemplating how on earth he got himself into this mess.
Wow. I don't think you can get that close to a giraffe even in a zoo!
Rhino's are a rare sighting on any safari - and we saw 2!
What are they looking at, you ask? See the video clip below...
These Marabou Storks looked cool as silhouettes roosting on top of an Acacia Tree.
A really cool scene - wild Eland and Cape Buffalo with Nairobi City Center in the background.
Now that the required safari is out of the way, on to the real reason we came - the people!

That is SUPER close to a giraffe!!!!!!!! Wow!!! I think that's closer than we were to that elephant as we were racing back to camp in the dark. And, the picture of the wild animals with Nairobi City in the background is just amazingly cool. Love it! One more thing . . . what were you looking at in the video? I still don't get it.
Glad you're home safely! Can't wait to read more about your trip.
