And here it is, the number one all-time trip I have wanted to take, and after much planning and research it was finally going to happen! Africa, a continent that has always held an exotic mystique for me, and specifically the two countries of Kenya and Tanzania we were set to explore: the animals, the Masai, the parks/reserves, Kilimanjaro, Serengeti, Zanzibar, and on and on...so away we go!

Wow, wow wow!
A trip like this is on the list for my big birthday, so I loved reading this post. The leopard and cheetah sightings must have been amazing! But this photo made my heart melt :)

Wee elephant...
Thanks for the kind words, and I highly recommend the place! Will have some more posts coming soon...and we were lucky to actually see a bunch of babies, loved the elephants flopping around in the rivers and learning to use their trunks...the baby warthogs may have been the funniest, those may have been in the Serengeti so stay tuned...slowly going through your Morocco blogs, one of my favourite destinations..

Hiya fellow Canuck! So glad you made it to Kenya and Tanzania!! Such great memories of both places. Enjoy! The camping and road travel can make you a little weary, the plan to end in Zanzibar very good idea for some beach r&r. Safe travels!
