Karen, Lydia and Ken's East African Adventure

July 4th - 21st, 2006

"If I know a song of Africa, of the giraffe and the African new moon lying on her back, of the plows in the fields and the sweaty faces of the coffee pickers, does Africa know a song of me? Will the air over the plain quiver with a color that I have had on, or the children invent a game in which my name is, or the full moon throw a shadow over the gravel of the drive that was like me, or will the eagles of the Ngong Hills look out for me?" - Isak Dinesen "Out of Africa"

Serengeti at Sunrise

If this isn't one of the most fantastic campsites in the world, I don't know what is. This is Dik-Dik Camp in the Seronera region of the Serengeti in Tanzania. We got to experience this camp with the amenity of a full moon. It was one of the only amenities we had. No running water. The long drop outhouse was our only first world comfort and they were "unusable" if you know what I mean. We had to do "bush jobs" even though we could hear the hyenas howling!!! Yikes!! Some people I know just held it all night.
