Old gal of the jungle. This was the only collared lion that I saw. She looks like she has been through a few battles in her time.
This being Sunday, I thought it would be appropriate to feature this African village church. I would imagine it is Roman Catholic, as all our guides were Catholic and I know Catholicism is wide spread in Africa. One of our guides told me about his trip to the Vatican even. Â Not a fancy building, but it sure serves it’s purpose.
This Giraffe found an Acacia tree that was just his size. I still marvel at how they can eat from these spikey trees. Their long tongues and prehensile lips which allow them to grasp easily.
Not sure what kind of bird this is silhouetted on the deck of the last resort we stayed at.
The way I remember the name of this beauty is Tiger Woods’ ex-wife, Elin. This largest of the African antelope looks very much like cattle. They are very elusive and are hard to photograph. I tried for days to spot one. Finally I was rewarded with a group that was pretty close and pretty quiet. Take a closer look by clicking on the photos and notice the distinct stripes on their sides.
This is how the Masai get water for their household. We would see them walking along the roads coming from a community well with their water for the day. The water is not safe to drink for us, but I guess their systems are used to it.
This Von Der Decken’s Hornbill was wasting no time to fly away from this destroyed tree that the elephants were working on. It was amazing the damage that an elephant can do to a tree. They are after the moisture in the tree.
When we stayed at Lobo, there were baboons everywhere. One morning there was a truck unloaded outside and the resort’s roof was just covered with baboons watching the men work. Here is a shot of one of the very interested fellows. They warned us to not leave any belongs laying around where they could get to them.
Every morning the Masai move their herds of donkeys, cattle, goats and sheep out to pasture and water. As you can see, there is very little pasture available and water is scarce.
