The Big Five....



We came further south to Lake Navaisha over last weekend and met up with a Uni medic friend of Claire's, then explored Hell's Gate National Park on bikes and foot - so nice to be 'unconfined' among the animals and birds!
Through Nairobi to Arusha (in Tanzania) and some more safari this last few days. In Lake Manyara we saw the last of the Big Five - a leopard basking on a tree branch in the sunshine. We have now seen Lion, Elephant, Rhinocerous, Buffalo and Leopard! (and lots else, besidesof course)
The Ngorongoro Crater was a little disappointing yesterday, partly because it was a cool breezy day and the animals seemed to be hiding away (although we did see three lots of lions!!!) but its appearance is very spectacular, to be sure.
Claire leaves for Zanzibar tomorrow and I return to Nairobi on Sunday to fly home, after an amazing adventure......

Claire - Hope you enjoy Zanzibar as much as we did. Such a relaxing break after Tanzania and there's NO animals, just sun & fun so relax and enjoy.
