Thanks for another great report Sandi!

Sandi, you finished the report! Asante sana. Trip reports alost always make me jealous, but your night with Paka must be the worst thing I’ve ever read in this regard!

Paka certainly is a bold fellow. I know I too would fall prey to his charms and be unable to resist him.

Sandi, great pics I am scrolling through them and greatly enjoying them.

The places you stayed at were incredible.

The giraffe interbreeding of Reticulated and Maasai is interesting. Did anyone appear to be concerned or upset? How common or unusual was this?

Tsavo was the one and only time I've seen the mixed Masai/Reticulated giraffe and it was quite obvious. Whether this only happens here, I can't say. If anyone has seen this elsewhere, chime in.

My guess, if a willing parnter, the giraffe isn't as discerning as other species in the animal world. :)

Sandi,

If you had to choose one, would you say you preferred your Kenya experience or your Tanzania experience?

Leely Feb 19th, 2008 07:13 PM

I am jealous of you getting to spend (most of) the night with Paka <i>and</i> getting the whole middle row to get some shut eye in.

Another great report, Sandi. Thanks for completing it! Off in May again?

sandi Feb 20th, 2008 06:23 AM

Tanzania, Kenya? Kenya, Tanzania? I like Tanzania very much, but I absolutely love Kenya. Hard to pinpoint, but Kenya touches my soul differently. Though, in no way takes away from Tanzania. I have friends in both and have had outstanding experiences and good times in both. It just is what it is.

Yup, end-May again, hopefully. Working on it. Will let you know when I get it figured out.

Hey Sandi, not sure if I missed them, but did you have pics of the maneless lions of Tsavo?

The one photo has the guy behind a bush and quite difficult to see detail.
