Amboseli National Park - First Trip of Winter Break 2016

Our first of three mini-trips for Winterbreak 2016 was to Amboseli National Park in the shadows of Mount Kilimanjaro.  It was a wonderful few days of camping and safaris.

Ok, it was a yawn.  But, looks pretty badass

Tsavo West and Chyulu Hills National Parks

Drew and Hana took advantage of a long weekend to visit Tsavo West and Chyulu Hills National Parks with some friends.  Tsavo West is known for the "man-eater" lions which famously had a taste for Indian railroad workers in 1898.  We didn't see any lions but had a great time nonetheless.  The Chyulu Hills satellite campsite is a chore to get to (2 hours for 24 km of Road) but is totally worth it for the view.

These stair led down to a seating area where one can watch fish and wildlife underwater.
The clarity of the water was amazing.

Wish I would have been quicker to get this in focus but couldn't leave it out of the post.

What does one do in rural Kenya when lost?  Hire a couple of Boda Boda drivers to lead the way
