Thursday, August 24th Tuesday, August 23rd August 16 - Zanzibar (Airport)
Monday, August 15th August 15 - Zanzibar (Ras Nungwi)
August 14 - Zanzibar (Ras Nungwi)
We are in Zanzibar and Katie has bet me $100 that I wouldn't write another journal entry before we left for home. Well, she would have won if she didn't say something to me today. Anyway, I'll write one, no big deal!
Continue reading... Friday, August 12th August 12 - Stone Town, Zanzibar (Tanzania)
We are having an incredible time in Zanzibar. The internet connection at this cafe is expensive and very slow, so I will just be posting a few journals. There may be internet at our next hotel, so I could post pics tomorrow or the next day - we shall see!
Continue reading... August 9 - Ngorongoro, Tanzania
Today was our final game drive of the trip. Ngorongoro is a huge caldera/crater that was formed from a collapsed volcano, and has become the permanent home for a wide variety of animals.
Continue reading... August 7 - Serengeti, Tanzania
Today we left an hour later than usual to go on a full day game drive. It ended up being a great day for viewing, but it was a LONG day.
Continue reading... August 6 - Serengeti, Tanzania
Hello! Haven't written in awhile - nothing too eventful has been happening. We left Uganda and said goodbye to Medi (sad again), and we travelled to Arusha.
Continue reading... Thursday, August 4th Aug 3 - Kibale Thoughts
So I'm writing from inside a hotel that has four walls and doesn't stink of animal. Well, at least it doesn't smell too much. Haha! So anyway, once again I have nothing to say - I'll let Katie do all the talking. We almost stayed in a treehouse that was in my opinion a cardboard box in a tree. It had a family of spiders in the corner of the roof, you heard me right, corner of the roof. The place should be shut down. Then we stayed in a tent. All night we heard animals chirping, yelling, mooing, snoring, farting, walking. Whatever animals do at night. It was an experience. So I stayed up waiting for whatever to at least stop doing something to go to bed. We're having fun, but right now I love to go to a McDonalds! The people have been nice, and we've learned a lot, but I definitely miss home. We still have 2 weeks in Africa. Next we go to Tanzania, then on to Zanzibar, which hopefully is the island paradise that we've heard it is! Catch you all later!
Aug 3 - Lake Mburo & Kampala
We slept well in our tent -- we did hear some animals walking around outside though, so we didn't want to go to the bathroom! We were ok though - probably just some warthogs...
Yay! We finally saw a leopard! Mike spotted him crossing the road ahead of us, but by the time I had my camera out, he had disappeared. We also saw a hippo roaming around...those things really are huge. Continue reading... July 2 - Kibale & Lake Mburo
Today we woke up early to go back to the Nat'l Park for a Chimpanzee walk. We had breakfast up at Ezra's main house, and we had a chance to get to know him.
Continue reading... Aug 1 - Kibale
July 1 - Going to Kibale
We finally arrived in Kibale after a very long day in the car. Continue reading... Monday, August 1st Aug 1 - Internet Access :)
Just got done uploading a bunch of journals -- trying to upload photos, but it takes forever to put one photo up. I'll try to at least get a couple up there, so you can see what we are doing :)
July 31 - Gorilla Trek 2 (Bwindi, Uganda)
July 30 - Gorilla Trek 1 (Bwindi, Uganda)
July 28 - Giraffe Manor
Jambo! Another fine day in Africa!
We got up for a 7:30 am game drive. Again, we did not see the leopard, but our driver, Michael, sure tried. We did see some cool things though...a baby (mtoto) rhino and its mother, a hyena chasing the pelicans on the shore of Lake Nakuru, and a LOT of baboon. We saw several babies and young ones too....soooo cute! After the game drive, we headed back to Nairobi and the Giraffe Manor, our next overnight stay. Continue reading... July 27 - Lake Nakuru
Today we left Masai Mara to journey to Lake Nakuru which is about 4 hours drive away.
Continue reading... July 26 - Visiting a Maasai Village
July 26 - Masai Mara, Kenya (Balloon Safari)
July 25 - Masai Mara, Kenya
Today we headed to Masai Mara, one of the most famous national parks in Africa. The day was so awesome, I don't know where to begin!
Continue reading... July 24 - Nairobi, Kenya (The Carnivore!)
Rather than going crazy sightseeing on our first day in Africa, we opted to rest up for the rest of our trip, and we didn't go to the museum or Nairobi Nat'l Park as we had talked about. We did however, go to The Carnivore Restaurant for dinner!
