SAFARI Photos!
We did arrive home last night after 29 hours of traveling, weary but glad to finally get and at the same time missing Kenya and our fellow travelers Mary, Karen and Lloydie.
These are some of the many photos I took while on safari. I had a hard time narrowing them down so have posted quite a few as you can see. I have posted a number of the baboon photos because, of all the animals, I had the most fun watching them. They act a lot like humans with the ways that they take care of each other, the adults take care of the babies, the youngsters play with each other and are overall very entertaining to watch. We saw many other animals and I have many photos to edit, but this is a sampling.
I will have some additional posts even though we are home since I have some additional things to share about our travels, the art created by the Kenyan kids, and more photos.
I hope you enjoy the safari photos!
