A typical scene from the highway. These men are motorcycle taxi drivers. for $.50 and up you can get a quick ride anywhere.
Entering the first national park.
Scenery from the park entrance station.
Looking into the safari vehicle. Michael Wright is standing, Ryan is next to him. In the middle row is Plaxedes and Rick. Phil Clarke is next to me.
I loved all the warthogs trotting around.
The first herd of elephants we got a good look at.
Zebras were everywhere.
Rear and side view.
There were a lot of impalas in the forest.
Wildebeasts (I still like to call them gnus) were often mixed in with zebras.
Here is one of the famous baobob tree. They are large and scattered throughout Tanagire Park.
Wildebeasts
More wildebeasts
Proof I really was there.
A good look at female impalas.
There was always one and only one male watching over his harem.
Fahad said the males lose so much weight watching their harems so they only last about three months before a stronger male will displace them.
A good look at an elephant.
More proof.
More elephants. The trees are acacia. They are the main food of the giraffe.
One of the many colorful birds.
Finally, a giraffe. I don't understand how a giraffe could eat acacia leaves because the branches are covered with very nasty thorns.
We watched this herd of elephants for about 30 minutes.
Troops of baboons were common.
This is a black faced vervet monkey. They were also common.
A close look at an old bull giraffe.
My "tent" at Lake Mayanara Camp.
This is the view from the patio of our lodge at Lake Mayanara.
Lori led us on a sunset walk out on the dry lake bed.
Phil, Rick, Ryan, Michael, Plaxedes, and I.
