Africa: We hitched all over Tanzania, Uganda, Kenya and South Africa.. .enter for more Africa Photos

Africa: a grand adventure. In Kenya we found Isaac who found an old car and we spent 2 months together with this excellent interpreter of the animals and birds. The Game parks were above our budget but he knew where to find everything we wanted to see outside these parks. Clockwise from Yvonne and Isaac walking with Giraffe and gazelle. Colabus Monkey. Giraffes their long necks crashing in battle. The male who beats all the others gets the females. Next long horn cows. A muddy water buffalo. Wart Hogs. A gaggle of school kids wanted to follow us so Isaac gave them a talk on what a tourist is and we left them behind to birdwatch in peace. In the centre are Ostrich chicks

Yvonne and Isaac the wonder guide identifying yet another bird in Uganda or Kenya. We found South Africa to be the most dangerous country we have birded in

We spent 9 hours in this pickup on top of a load of fish along with 31 other persons. When we arrived in Nairobi no taxi would take us as we were too filthy caked in red dirt and smelling of fish so we had to walk to the backpackers lodge.

On the banks of Lake Victoria we ate fresh baked perch.
