Mikumi National Park


Yeah we just got back from Mikumi national park where we saw all the big ones: Baboon, zebra, giraffe, elephant, impala, red buck, water buffalo, hippo, croc, and lions!! There was a mating pair in the park the first evening because the female was in heat. Amazing to see these animals only a couple of meters away. There were also these beautiful birds called lilac breasted rollers. One of the older women in our group is a real birder and she describes them by saying they have more colors than should be allowed on one bird. I'm putting some of the pics of the trip of Facebook so take a look see.

Words of the week: "Bila shaka" --> without a doubt

"umeulamba!" --> you're looking good

more later...

That is an incredible picture of that giraffe. With a Kodak no less.
