Some more pics

Hi all again. Just uploaded these few more pics! We are now back in Nairobi in Kenya for a couple of days before heading up to Cairo in Egypt for the next part of the tour. We have three days here where we will be visiting an Elephant and Giraffe nursery to see all the baby animals and up to a place where the flamingo's cover the whole lake! Its late now and so I just put these up and will continue my story tomorrow and try and bring you up to date with everything! By the way, all these pics are taken with either mine or dads camera! Everything is so close!
See you then.

Back again! We went to three big game parks in Tanzania over nine days. We stayed in really cool lodges which were right in the middle of the parks. So, sometimes wild animals would walk right past our cabin! At night we have to call a guard with a torch so we can walk from our cabin to the restaurant to protect us from the animals.

We saw lots of giraffe like the pic above as we drove around.

This is me in the 4 wheel drive looking at 2 lionesses and a cub under a spiky tree!

This is the cub I was looking at!


We went hot air ballooning over the Serengeti! It was amazing the antelope looked like ants!

This is a lioness cleaning herself.

This is the hot air balloon getting blown up and ready!

This is the big boss male lion watching the lionesses hunting Wildebeest. It was a pride of 13 lions including 4 cubs. we watched them stalking and hunting down a heard of Wildebeest. They were right beside us staying down low in the grass as they stalked the Wildebeest! It was very exciting and interesting to watch!

These are two Cheetah! The fastest animal on earth.

This is Laura and I with some Masai people who live in the Serengeti!

This is a grumpy old baboon! We see heaps all the time!

This is how close the Giraffe gets as they are very shy.

This is a hungry angry lioness about to eat a meal!

A heard of water Buffalo. They are massive! Bigger than baby elephants!


As I said we are now back in Nairobi and where we went to an elephant, rhino and giraffe orphanage. It was funny to watch the baby elephants drinking from big milk bottles!

To morrow we are off to lake Nakuru where we will see all the flamingos and other stuff! Then the next day off to Egypt for that part of the trip including 4 days cruising on the Nile river! Should be cool! I will get some more pics and stories up on this blog soon!

Hope everyone at home is well!
