Asante kwa ripoti. I'd return to Kenya.

Peru is awesome.

I went to Machu Picchu last year. Though I did it the lazy way and took the train ((A)) Peru in general was very cool. Cozuco is an amazing city.

Kevin,

You managed to try a wide variety of meat at Carnivore. I hope you saved some room for chocolates at the Zurich airport.

Hmm, like Nyamera I'd go straight back to East Africa. Or Egypt. Or Morocco.

Have a wonderful next trip, wherever you go. And thanks so much for sharing your family's adventures. A great read!

Seems like just yesterday I was jealously commenting on some of your lucky sightings. And now it's over. If you wouldn't change a thing that you can remember that points to an excellent safari or a faulty memory. I'll go with excellent safari.

Very fun report. Specially as I will be at LG next August.

We went to Machu Picchu last year along with a trip to the Galapagos islands. It was a fabulous trip. Took the train up from Cuzco and stopped at the Sacred Valley on the way back. When we on the Galapagos cruise met someone who was talking of Africa ....so 2006 it was South Africa and 2007 will be East Africa.

Note: the Videoegg links no longer work (they got out of that business). The following is the link of Kevin Staker Kenya videos on Vimeo, they are the highest quality:

However, Vimeo has a limit on how much can be uploaded each week. Hence, I have not gotten all there yet. All, however, are on the Kevin Staker channel at YouTube, but the quality is not as good:

Note, if you watch only one, I would suggest the Cheetah in the Samburu. The ecstatic response of my wife Mari in seeing our first big cat, a cheetah, vocalizes what many of us have felt:

Kevin,

I really enjoyed your trip reports and your videos. We leave in three weeks for our first trip and we are staying in some of the same places you did. You can imagine how excited we are!

We take videos and pictures so I especially enjoyed seeing yours.
