Dennis - I've got lots more pictures of Somilisa if you need a fix. LOL
Sophia delivered some goodies for me to the kids recently and is supposed to send more photos.
Patty - thank you
Kavey - Glad you like the pangolin - I'm still getting over it being our first sighting. He was healthy and calm.. meant to be.
As for the photos, I thought of you every time I came across a blurred photo - tried some new tricks that didn't work.

Thank you.
Lynda,
The picture's yours if your serious. I'd be honored to be in your hallway gallery next to anything that Kavey's done.
E- me and we'll figure something out.
If it's the picture I'm thinking of, it may also be one that I may want to try to do a painting of.

Of course you would start off with the pangolin shots! Followed by an almost equally impressive sunset. You had lots of those and lots of superb leopard shots dispersed throughtout the slideshow. Great shots of children. There was one lion shot that could be intimidating so I take back some of my criticism of the lion scaredy cat at Vumbura. PB did deliver on the meerkat.
For the 2 male kudu, were you in a canoe. It seems you are looking up.
Wonderful collection and it seems just recently the trip was in the planning stages of its many revisions.

Love the (soulful?) pangolin eyes, the dog duo, the mongeese on the branch, my bed airlifted to your tent at Somalisa, snake bird, lions with Cape buffalo, Krazy-Eyed Killa (lion) and the adorable kids. And the other kids too.
Thanks for posting these.

Fantastic variety Sherry, diverse like the trip. For me nothing beats the daytime pangolin with good catch light in the eye to boot, people who spend their whole life in the bush may not even have such a sighting ever.

Enjoyed the armchair trip - lots of great sightings and interesting places. The pangolin and meerkats are particularly cool. The accommodation photos were an eye-opener - not sure whether Planet Baobab or Little Vumbara was the strangest (I live a sheltered life).

Thank you for your kind comments.
Lynn,
EG (english guy) nearly knocked his wife out of the vehicle when Krazy Killa (new name, care of Leely) got close to the vehicle and looked up.
Killa, actually circled the vehicle a couple times which made EG run from side to side.
My thought was if Kay's relaxed, I will be, as well. Kay didn't flinch.
I'll never forget the wonderful electricity felt by staring into Killa's eyes.
On the other hand, I don't think he was particularly electrified by us - he most likely thought we were annoying twits with nothing better to do than watch him eat and poop.
Leely,
There's a very comfortable bed with your name on it at Selinda - no need to bring your own. The camp was almost frightening with the staggering amount of amenities it has after our fairly modest digs in Zimbabwe.
suzic,
Despite previously saying that I didn't care about bathtubs and such, the tub was greatly appreciated. The filtered hippo pond water was still brownish with small bits floating around but delightfully hot.
It did the trick of helping me sweat out my bronchitis.
chuck,
Yes, the wonderful Newman - love him.
kimburu,
Not following why you think L.Vumbura looks strange. Far from it IMHO. It's truly a magnificent place with beautiful accommodations, excellent guiding (Kay) and wildlife.
If interested there's more info. about it on my trip report.
Baobab on the other hand is different but in a cool way. As for their service/location etc. - another story, entirely.

Hi Sherry,
You probably posted these while I was away - missed them until now.
I recognize the 2 male cheetah - the one guy with the scarish tear mark I recognize very well ..... he is quite shy and not photogenic. The other male cheetah is okay, but, everytime this guy moves away from the vehicles the other one follows along.
Hopefully, in a couple months time they will learn to relax. Btw, these are two of the biggest male cheetahs I have seen!
