On Safari in Tsavo West National Park

We'll write a longer blog about our adventures in Tsavo this weekend (actually Ben will because he is the master blog writer) but I thought it would be nice to post some pictures. In short...the landscape was stunning, the Kilaguni Lodge was an oasis (especially after the drive from Nairobi), the animals were fun to watch (you can watch zebra, gazelles, and baboon at the water hole from your breakfast table), the game drives were fun - we saw elephant, kudu, dik-dik, zebra, giraffe, waterbuck, hippos, crocs, impala, oryx, and a tortoise), the meals were extravagant - especially dinner by candlelight with the waterhole slightly lit up so you can watch zebra wander in for a drink, our driver was pretty funny and a great guide for the park even though he reminded us every hour that we would have seen more animals in the Mara, the drive from Nairobi was scary and dirty (though better than most drives I've done in Kenya). Here are a few pictures.
