Tsavo: A true “Out of Africa” Adventure
We stayed in a farm in Africa, at the foot of the Ngong Hills. But that isn’t really the start of our adventure. It really started in Mombasa and getting picked up by our guide/driver Sammy. He will be with us for the next 6 days from Mombasa to Tsavo to Amboseli National Park and then onto Nairobi. Sammy is friendly, easy to talk to and knowledgeable about not just mammals but about all the birds that we are seeing. This was especially important to Kati who loves to photograph all the birds in Africa. It took us a couple of hours to get to our lodge in Tsavo East and the time went by quickly.
We stayed at Satao Camp and were lucky enough to get the tent closest and facing a very popular water hole. Like watching “Animal TV”, over the next couple of days and nights we saw herds of elephants, antelope, giraffes, hippos and warthogs walk out of the bush and come to this waterhole. This was the start of our adventure, and we were happy to be back in Africa.
