Things here have been so busy that we haven't had time to post about our weekend adventure a few days ago to Amboseli National Park. It was with two of our good university friends (Chris Newcombe and Chelsea McCullough), and was one of our best safaris to date by far. It can best be summed up with this photo:
The park is in the shadow of Mt Kilimanjaro (pictured), and is an incredible spot to find elephants, wildebeest, hippos, tonnes of antelope, giraffe, jackals, and loads more. We were luck enough to spot all of these animals, and had absolutely incredible encounters with huge herds of elephants.
Anyhow, going to Madagascar has been a dream of mine since I was about 12 (it was the boardgame "Risk" which started it off, in which Madagascar is a useful region to control when trying to take over the world), and for Jessica a good 10 years now. We wish we had more time, but two weeks will have to do; hopefully we can return later on in life for a bit longer.
In Madagascar they speak Malagasy & French, and so I've been trying to recall my pitiful knowledge of the French language over the past few days. I think we should be able to get by fairly well, and I am truly looking forward to this adventure more than any I can think of in the recent past....
