Another early start. Most days in the bush start around 5.30 to 6, in order to catch the animals munching on their overnight kills. A nice casual trip to Amboseli turned out to be a hell of a day. The road was a mess most of the way and took 8 hours. We were very warmly welcomed at one of the best places we had stayed, to be told that we were leaving on our first game drive in 1 hour. It lasted 2 1/2 hours which made it a big day. Very cold and plenty to see, our guide Joseph was fantastic and made a long day very worth while. The next day 2 more drive starting with a bush breakfast and a trip to a Maasai village. Our last day finished with what is known as sundowners. This is where they take you to the highest and most scenic spot to watch the sun go down over a few bevies, very congenial.

Ros and I try to travel every year and have decided to create a blog for our friends, family and anyone else to follow us on our adventures.
