Hills Of Africa…
July 27, 2010Okay, let’s pretend we aren’t in a recession right now and we have time and financial resources. Forget the zoo, let’s see the real animals in their natural habitat. To do that, we’ll need to board a really long flight to Africa. So join me on a pretend tour of the REAL Africa and if you’d like to make it a reality, you can do that too (see below).
Africa is magical. Long ago before the adorables entered our lives, the Running Man and I made a special trip to the continent and it left me wanting MORE. A lot more. The landscape is simply stunning.
So join me for a photo tour…
Mt. Kilamanjaro, Kenya – see it peeking up above the clouds?
Plains of Serengeti with gazelles, Masai Mara, Kenya
Lioness and Cub, Masai Mara, Kenya
Famous Elephants of Amboseli Nat Park, Base of Mt. Kilomanjara
Mokoro Canoe, Botswana
Leopard asleep in tree, Botswana
Deck at Ruckomechi Camp, Mana Pools National Park, Zimbabwe
Victoria Falls, Front, Zimbabwe
Zebra, Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe
Sunset on Zambezi River, Ruckomechi Camp, Mana Pools National Park, Zimbabwe
Gorgeous, isn’t it?

Africa is certainly on my list of places to go in the next few years. This post has reminded me that I need to get saving!

Zimbabwe is safer, more stable than it has been for 10 years and it is still is as beautiful as ever with abundant game.
