One: Sunsets with the moon high above where you could actually see the curve of the earth as you looked around 360 degrees....
TWO: Waking up at 2pm on Christmas eve night to the sounds of hundreds of Wildebeests and zebra running past our tent... the ground shook, and the noise was terrifying and exciting.. We made up a whole new set of verses for the 12 days of Christmas.... Instead of five golden rings, it was 5,000 wildebeests! And falling asleep each night, to three prides of Lions ROARING at each other one louder then the next...
THREE: Find a wildebeest sneaking some greens at the next tent....
...and a giraffe on the other side....
SEVEN: Mama lions and her cubs at dusk... Nothing better and breathtaking.
EIGHT: a heard of 60 Giraffe in one spot....
NINE: Do I need to say anything about this picture?
TEN: The people, the smiles, and our memories.... If you ever take any MAJOR trip in your life time...Make this your destination... I've traveled all over the globe, and this is by far, the most extraordinary place I have ever been too.
a trip of a lifetime...thanks for sharing so many of those 2,000+ photos!
