Out of Africa, after three weeks in Country we leave Africa with heavy hearts and many great memories. From our great guides to the terrible roads and the unbelievable animal encounters. We landed in Nairobi to the sounds of car horns and Smokey trucks and ended with horns of Zebu as we split the herd on one interesting afternoon drive. We watched in an adrenaline rush, the chase of two Cheetahs after a Baby Gazelle to the heavy heart of the mother Gazelle fran...

Is it the rainy season or the dry season? Madagascar can't seem to make up its mind, we were just sweating now we are cold and getting rained on and now it's sunny again all in 15 minutes. For starters we left Antananarivo airport with a group from the Vatican, being a bad Catholic I could not tell you who he or they were, but dressed in full attire we and the group loaded up in an older 737-300. There were crates of chicken chicks chirping away as we headed sk...

The view from the top is almost better than the view once inside. You drive along the crater with peaks here and there of the lost World below. ...

Yes Rwanda was a real blast! We ended our Gorilla trek by trekking to see the Golden Monkeys of Rwanda, I must say, see the gorillas first as the monkeys are good and put on a real show for you once you arrive but pales in comparison to the gorillas. Even so The Golden Monkeys are only found here in the three volcano's area so it was worth doing. A show by the local kids that I had to join in on and we were pretty Rwanda'ed up. Off to Kingali to our 5 star hotel...
