So it totally did rain in the night- quite hard actually…but the tents held up and nothing got wet! We had a 430am wake up with 5am brekky, so it was pretty dang early. Unfortunately I didn’t felt like I slept much at all, but I was glad I could sleep in the truck as we’d be on the road most of … Continue reading Day 13- Getting to Kampala
Today was a driving day, to make the long haul from Kenya to the capital of Uganda, Kampala. In Africa you can only go by km, not time, because time is relative here…and when the truck can only go 40-50mph (my guess), it takes a while to get anywhere! Brekky was 6am for a 7am departure, but in the end we were so efficient we … Continue reading Day 12- Masai Mara to Kampala- Part 1
We heard plenty of hyenas in the night, not very far from where our tents were, but we were also in an enclosed area with 4 or 5 camp dogs to keep us safe. They all looked a bit like a golden retriever with something else mixed in. All were very sweet and were even polite when they begged for food- from a respectable 3 … Continue reading Day 11- Masai Mara
On our way with Mat and the gang! Continue reading Day 10- Nairobi to Masai Mara
Too sick to see baby elephants?! Continue reading Day 9- Sheldrick Elephant Sanctuary & the Giraffe Center
There were a variety of dogs that hung around the property and there was a bunch of barking at night. I cannot be sure it wasn’t the echoing of the village down below, but my guess would be if there property dogs, they were barking at monkeys. This place was supposed to be teaming with them, but so far we hadn’t seen any. We set … Continue reading Day 8- Arusha back to Nairobi
The camp was pretty quiet and I slept well, waking up earlier than we needed to- which ended up being a good thing since Rasta told us the wrong time for brekky! He had definitely told us 830 and then we’d leave at 9am…but at 730 one of the guys from the camp came and told us our brekky was getting cold! We were basically … Continue reading Day 7- Lake Manyara
I woke up convinced there was a zebra outside our tent. I could hear it stomping and chomping so I woke Bryan up so we could see it. I looked out of the tent tentatively, but there was absolutely nothing there- not even any zebra nearby. It was then I realized tent flaps (window and door) on a windy night sound exactly like zebras grazing … Continue reading Day 6- Ngorongoro crater
23 lions in one day has to be a world record! But that’s certainly not all we saw… Continue reading Day 5- Serengeti National Park
