The experience will never leave me. I've parsed through some 7000 photos and videos, and it was difficult to select the favorites to post. From the predators, to the graceful giants, to the small, meek animals... ALL beautiful. While I could have picked one scenario and just observed all day long, there was simply too much for the time we had. We witnessed the full "circle of life", albeit in reverse order. We witnessed a 'kill', we witnessed a birth and we saw a ton of stuff in between. Unexpected, we got a glimpse of the migration (the definition of infinity). Our guides were knowledgeable of the land, of the wildlife and also of the people. They were patient with us, they looked out for us... generally awesome people.
I've been trying to figure out (so that I could explain to folks who ask) what might have been my favorite - and I can't. The wildlife was obviously number one for me, but I cannot point to one animal or even and say "that one!". Of course the unwind period in Diani Beach was a great way to end the trip (I don't count the bungling of the flights/unions/airlines on the way back). I think the one picture for me that sums up Africa is this one above. Certainly not a contest-winner by any means, but it, as they say, is worth the thousand words I might use to describe the feeling of being there. The rest of the pics can be found here
