<b>Things you shouldn’t miss</b>: a wonderful, descriptive report on the Wilderness Trail Camp in Lewa Wildlife Conservancy, a nice 50th birthday present for Twaffle!. Absolute best quote ever : “…it was enough to sit silently listening to the birds, feeling the African breeze across my cheeks and watching the lions lazily begin to stir and be alone far from the madding crowd” Twaffle, you pinpointed in one sentence why we are all saving for our ‘next’ trip!
