Incredible adventures!
What an array of wildlife--mammals, birds and flora--you got to see in their native habitats, hunting and going about their business! Fabulous guides again to lead you and to explain what you were seeing, and your photos did fabulous justice to it all. Great adventure!

Yes - just incredible ..
Thanks for so much for your comments and reading our long winded blogs but just want to get all our memories down before they get forgotten!
