November 16th 2016
ARUSHA We had a great final evening enjoying the comforts of Rivertrees Lodge before heading off on our long awaited safari in the morning.

Caroline was originally from Scotland but had lived in France for many years as well as ... read more

We love to travel and experience different places and particularly like to view and photograph the world's wonderful array of wildlife - and we are so so lucky to still be able to do so although a little slower these days. After retiring in 2010, we have travelled the world covering every continent as older generation nomads - hence our name Silvernomads. We have been really blessed to live out our retirement as we had always dreamed when we worked all those long years.

They are not lesser, they are more...
I think that's more flamingos in one photo than I have seen in my entire life. How can they be "lesser"? They have to be more... OK, that was a silly joke. It's a nice photo though.

Thanks for your comments
Loved your joke - the Lesser & the Greater Flamingos were awesome, we were so lucky to see them but apparently there are even more at certain times of the year on Lake Natron so maybe another trip in the future!! We also spent some time the Ngorongoro NP and yes agree with you it was a very special place.
