Update from Africa from Sr. Toni and Heather

Why did the zebra cross the road?

SO TONI COULD GET A PHOTO!!!!

Elephants in Kenya, July 2011

Are you kidding me? Just on the way from the airstrip to the lodge, we have seen not only families of elephants, a pride of 20+ lions, herds and herds of zebras and wildebeasts, wart hogs, impala, Thompson gazelles, hippos, guinea hens, blacksmith plovers, giraffes, but there were BABIES among the elephants, lions, baboons, wart hogs, and guinea hens. How crazy is this place? These animals are so numerous they are blocking the road at times.

Only pictures can do this justice. Please check out the photos. Incredible, just incredible.

There were lion cubs feasting on a zebra by the side of the road. Cubs. Feasting. Zebra. Raw. Amazing.

All we can say is, we wish you were here to see it in person. So worth it.

All the best from Africa
Sr. Toni and Heather
