Yantan Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Fantastic photos My aunt went a couple of years ago and was entranced with Kenya.

reds Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Started looking from the bottom up. Wonderful opportunity you had to see those animals (understatement) but my heart skipped when I saw mount Kili. WOW. Now that is one awesome view. Glad you had a great time.

irons Posted March 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 I honestly cann't put it into words the feeling at seeing the animals in the wild like that,its the 2nd time we have been to Kenya but this time was the best .When you see a Cheetah kill an Antelope right in front of you the speed the grace it was so emotional and i thought i would be squeemish over a kill but it was so quick and silent and she most likely had young that needed to eat that you just thought what a beautiful animal she was and had to survive!!! Also the Leapard had a small kill but we saw that after it had killed It was the Elephants for me there were so many young and one group had a tiny tiny one and the Rangers were by to make sure that they didn't attack as it was only a few hours old and the herd were protecting it What a great holiday it is something that will be with me forever We saw almost every thing apart from Rhino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
