I'll be the first to admit that when I say, "Hey, Doug, I have an idea." most often he cringes. Probably because it inevitably results in more work! But this time, he looked back at me with a sparkle in his eye, and shocked me.Go back with me approximately 60 years. Yes, 60 years ago! I was eleven years old and in a class on Wednesday night at my local church. We had just finished a lesson about missionaries in Africa, and my heart was stirred. I wondered at that time if I just might be called to Africa someday as a missionary. Years later, as I worked in a Christian school environment and truly felt called to that mission, I thought I may have mistakenly felt that little nudge toward Africa all those years ago. Now I'm not so sure.Back to the present…After sharing with Doug a couple of thoughts that kept coming to my mind, we both are excited about a couple of future possibilities. Keep in mind that these two ideas are only under consideration at this time, but we think it's time to share them with our Photo Journey family. First of all, long term we are very interested in launching a major project to raise funds for a school in Tanzania. We are looking at options and trying to determine what is most feasible for us. As of right now, it's a dream that we are praying about, so I have no more to share about it but will keep you informed as we make decisions and move forward.Secondly, we are seriously looking at the possibility of leading a tour to Tanzania. This could be as soon as next February or it may not happen for a couple of years yet. Our first step, however, has to be to determine interest, so we thought we'd start with our followers on Marcy's Photo Journey to see if there are any of you that would like to be put on our list as we go into the planning stages to make this a reality. As we learn more, we'll be back in touch with you. We have no firm cost figures yet, and I know that will certainly be a factor in anyone's decision. However, if you have an interest and would like to be notified as plans progress, please let us know, and we'll put you on our prospective travelers list.Please feel free to share this post if you know of someone who may want to visit Tanzania. We're very enthusiastic about new dreams and possibilities as we look forward to what God has in store!(Still loading Kenya/Tanzania images to the website: marcysphotography.com.)
Africa is on my bucket list. Tanzania is one place but i think I want to visit one or two other places in Africa after that long flight. It will be a once in a lifetime trip so I want to see a lot!! Please add me to your list to keep informed of your plans.
I would love to go. 🙋🏼♀️
I would like to be added as well. Thank you!
Yes I am very interested! My husband and I!
What an awesome idea!!
Yes for me
Yes!
Nancy says yes
It was another good day in the Smokies yesterday as Doug and I enjoyed spending some time with family. It's hard for me to pick a favorite season these days because they are all so good. I used to know that I was definitely a "fall person," but as I get older, I think I've come to appreciate and cherish every season more.(View individually to see captions.)
I agree with you. I too enjoy the seasons each one special and just happy to be alive to enjoy them! Lol
Great pictures!!🥰
Just a fabulous eye!!
Once again, it's time to welcome new followers to Marcy's Photo Journey!! Our Facebook stats people report that we have gained 33 members over the past month. Our sights now are focused on the next goal of 2000 followers.If you are new, Doug and I recently returned from a fantastic adventure in Kenya and Tanzania. We now have some down time until we travel again, so we are busy refreshing our two local photography galleries and trying to get caught up here at home.Reports are starting to come in about bear sightings in the Smokies, so we are excited about spring in the mountains and plan to take about one day each week to head over there with our cameras. You may be wondering what lies ahead for us. Unfortunately, we decided to postpone our May trip to Yellowstone, so we don't have anything on our travel calendar until June. Yes, I've already counted, and it's eleven weeks until we leave for Poland and our Danube River cruise!People kept asking why we had chosen to go to Africa in February, technically the "off season." Every time someone asked me that question, I told them it was because we were in hopes of capturing wildlife babies. Today's posted images show some of the sweet little ones we saw on our journey.ALL OF OUR PHOTOS CAN BE PURCHASED IN MATTED PRINTS, CANVASES, OR METALS. If you've never visited our website, the link is marcysphotography.com, and we'd be honored to have you visit us there.(Help us reach our next goal by sharing this post or inviting a friend to follow us!)
Wow Marcy these photos are just amazing, capturing motherhood! You do beautiful work and get to see first hand God's beauty.
❤️🦁❤️🐒❤️🦓❤️
Thanks Marcy!!!!!!!!
So wonderful to meet you both. Thank you Marsey for helping me with the headache that I had on one safari. And then helping me with leg cramps. ☮️ Our travels were very educational Best to you both🦒🐘🦏 
You both look great,healthy and happy family.
It was great to be back home in the Smokies this week where spring is definitely underway!
We were in Cades Cove on Monday!
You’re so lucky, winter is definitely holding on here in Michigan.
Looks lovely still winter here in Minnesota
Absolutely gorgeous!!!
Beautiful!!!
Wowsers! Nice photos
So pretty 💕
Great pics ! Miss the Smokies …
Lovely
Wrapping it up...As I promised yesterday, we are closing this chapter for now. I so appreciate your patience (and endurance) to wade through so many images and post so many sweet and encouraging comments. I've never posted nearly this many photos from one trip, but this one was such a special experience that I just kept wanting to share and share and share. 🙂 But before we officially end this great adventure, it is my pleasure to introduce you to a very special friend of ours from Tanzania. Arnold Makinda has been our guide twice, and we consider ourselves so fortunate to have had his expertise available to us during July, 2022 and last month. Makinda is a wealth of information and seems to know everything about the plants and animals of his beautiful country. He's a university degreed naturalist, has many years of experience as a safari guide, and has also served in positions of leadership for the Tanzania guides association. Beyond his eminent qualifications, however, we know Makinda to be steady, honest, diligent, and kind. We feel very safe with him and constantly marvel at his ability to be at the right place at the right time! Often, he has managed to arrive at just the right moment to catch a perfectly lit wildlife scene or landscape. Our friend is in the process of launching his own tour company, and we want to make you aware of all he has to offer in case you are thinking of a safari trip in the future. His tour company is Instinct Tours, and we honestly can't recommend him highly enough. Makinda will customize your tour to meet your specific needs and will literally take care of everything during your adventure in Tanzania. HE IS SIMPLY THE BEST!Would you believe we're already planning another trip with him for July 2024? A trip to Africa requires about 19 hours on a plane, lots of early mornings and late evenings, uncomfortably long drives in rugged safari vehicles on the worst roads you've ever seen, and sometimes being UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL with mosquitoes and tse tse flies. You have to have several vaccinations and obtain a visa to get there.So why do we go back again and again? Because it is truly a LIFE CHANGING EXPERIENCE, AND IT IS SO WORTH IT!!!Check out Makinda's website at instincttours.com
I’m so excited for Arnold and his new tour company. He truly was the best and all the accolades you bestowed on him are so deserving. I’m assuming that when you booked this most recent tour you knew that he was to be your guide? So pleased for you and Doug that your most recent experience was everything you anticipated and more! Tim and I have so enjoyed following your trip, thanks for sharing.
Makinda is the best GUIDE ever! Kind, sincere, and very knowledgeable! I would highly recommend him for traveling in Tanzania!
If I win the lottery ,I'll remember this for my list. Beautiful place.
How wonderful to have a guide you now know and trust. And his background for this is fantastic! No wonder you have had such a perfect trip.
Thank you two for sharing your incredible adventure!!!!❤️
A great naturalist indeed
Love to see Africa one more time
Love it!!
Correct ‼️. Beautifully said ‼️😊
Amazing!
SUNRISES AND SUNSETS...As I look back at these pictures for this post, I am grateful for this wonderful opportunity. Doug and I feel incredibly blessed to have experienced these moments together. When I am out in God's amazing world, I am so aware of what a wonderful gift we have all been given. Every sunrise, every sunset, and everything in between is a gift.If you have enough time to do so, take a few moments to ponder and appreciate each picture and see the beauty of this earth. You don't have to travel to Africa to see it because it's all around us. (ALL SHARES GREATLY APPRECIATED!)
Fabulous pictures!! I have enjoyed each and every one you have shared ❤️
Another wonderful journey. Thank you for sharing. <3 <3
You are an absolutely wonderful photographer. You catch such amazing shots!
Fabulous! Thank you for sharing.

Love these birds!
Love the big birds
They do have the most beautiful birds there. On your trips back have you run into John Finch
Beautiful!
Wow! Spectacular!
Amazing!
One of my favorites!!! So beautiful, it's surreal.
That’s a beautiful family scene 😊
Spectacular photo!
Just so you know, I've never really had a soft spot in my heart for hyenas. On our other trips to Africa, we had seen them a few times, and they just were never on the top of my list of favorites. They also have an eerie nighttime call that can be heard throughout the camps, putting me just a little bit on edge each time I hear it. That all changed on this trip when we spotted some younger ones. It didn't hurt either that they seemed to always be in such nice light and showing their best, sweet sides. Here's a few of my favorites...WATCH FOR TOMORROW'S FINAL POST FROM THE TRIP TO KENYA/TANZANIA! I'll be introducing a friend from Tanzania, and I know you're going to love him as much as Doug and I do. I'll also be featuring some great sunrises and sunsets and highlights from our visit to a Maasai village where Doug joined in the dance with the tribe's warriors!As we conclude this fabulous adventure, please know that I have begun loading some of the best images from both countries to my website, where you can purchase your favorite in many different formats, including on mugs, throw pillows, totes, etc. By the end of March, I hope to be finished, so check periodically to see if your favorite is there. If you don't see it, let me know!Website link is marcysphotography.com
Great shots! When we were on Safari, we went out on a game drive and then pulled into a clearing where staff set up a wonderful dinner. The hyenas and wild dogs lurked nearby waiting to collect the scraps.
As always, your pictures are wonderful. Looking forward to tomorrow’s shots.
Marcy's Photo Journey these are great shots.
This rhinoceros was way too far out even for my longest wildlife lens. I tried my best, but fell short for a realistic image. So I experimented a bit digitally and created an abstract with the raw file. It's a little artsy, and I kind of like it with the layers of color as the background. Sometimes I just like to stretch things a bit, try to be a little more creative, and just see what happens. 🙂
Bath Time in Kenya!I know I'm throwing a whole lot of pictures at you in a short amount of time, but I hope to have things wrapped up on the adventure in Africa by tomorrow. Doug and I need to move on to other things, including refreshing and restocking BOTH GALLERIES as we move rapidly into spring here in east Tennessee.This series was taken upon our arrival at The Ark in Kenya, a very interesting overnight lodge where we could observe animals from expansive decks and a special hidden bunker that was equipped with lookouts where photographers could be completely hidden and actually get almost face to face with the wildlife.When I first came to the observation area, this smaller (I'm assuming an adolescent) elephant was headed to the pond for a cool, refreshing bath. It was fun to watch how much he enjoyed the water on this relatively hot afternoon. I wouldn't say he ever got clean, but definitely refreshed. Enjoy!WE ARE NOW ONLY SEVEN AWAY FROM 1100 FOLLOWERS! If you have a friend who would enjoy our page, please invite them to join and follow along as we continue our travel journeys. AS ALWAYS, SHARES ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED IN OUR CONTINUING EFFORT TO BUILD OUR SOCIAL MEDIA PRESCENCE!
Never tire of traveling through your camera!! Thank you for sharing!!
Beautiful shots! 2 questions. 1. What tour did you take in Africa? 2. What lens are you shooting with?
Amazing pictures! Thank u for sharing!
Amazing photos…. I love to follow your journey!
Keep the photos coming they are amazing!
Awesome picts
THE BABOON TREES...Baboons love to fill a tree! On two separate occasions and in two completely different areas, we enjoyed some up close views of a couple of baboon trees. When we checked in for our two night stay in our camp in The Serengeti, we were taken to our tent by one of the Maasai hosts and were thrilled to see that right there in our back yard was a tree filled to the brim with baboons. It was late in the day and they seemed to just be chilling out enjoying the evening. As it turned out, we heard them "bark" several times during our first night and later found out that the baboons were the ones to alert when animals prowled around the camp during the nighttime. Our first night a lion was spotted on the other side of the camp and we had also heard some hyenas during the night, so we figured that the baboons were spreading the alarm.On the second night, I was up to go to the bathroom about 2:30 and heard very loud breathing and grunting while in the bathroom. I thought it was Doug snoring, but when I went back to bed, I realized that it wasn't him, and the loud breathing and grunting sounded like it was very close, just outside our tent. My first thought was that it couldn't be anything dangerous because the baboons hadn't barked all night, so I easily went back to sleep. The next morning as our Maasai guard walked us to breakfast, I mentioned that I had heard something during the night and asked if he knew what it was, since it is his job to patrol the camp through the night and provide security. (He actually carries a spear!) He tells us that a hippo was in the camp and apparently was sleeping right outside our tent. I am immediately thinking, "Wait a minute...hippos are one of the most dangerous animals around. THOSE BABOONS REALLY LET US DOWN!" 🙂The other pictures are of another baboon tree that we saw in the Ngorongoro caldera. They were such a cooperative bunch that we were able to enjoy watching the family interaction and take several shots.
Great pictures! What camera do you use? There’s such a limit on weight, hard to carry much camera gear. Any advice would be appreciated.
Marcie's post was great. 💖💖 😆
These are amazing Marcy's Photo! Love them.
What exciting stories and great pictures!
That’s a beautiful picture of the baboons in trees.
There’s nothing worse than an unreliable baboon.
Some animals are most likely to be found alone or in pairs while others are herd oriented and travel together in larger groups. Cape buffalo, elephants, impalas, gazelles, wildebeests, hartebeests, water bucks, topi, and zebras are all examples of "herd animals." (Check out commentary on each picture for identification and location.)
Your pix are so outstanding‼️‼️‼️. Isn’t it amazing all of this exists on the other side of the world as we live our daily lives? I am a much richer person for having had this time in Africa myself. You capture this so beautifully. Thanks ❤️❤️❤️
Amazing

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.Spectacular! That's as beautiful as the Milky Way out West(in the U.S.).
WOW!! This is so beautiful
I am reading the blog wow!!
Gorgeous 👏👏
Hoping that you're not weary of so many animals by now, but I promise we'll be wrapping it all up this Friday! Giraffes are a personal favorite for me. I love their graceful gait and gentle spirit. It was especially nice to see them in so many different settings during this trip, so that I could incorporate them into landscape images.Tomorrow we'll be looking at different herd animals. some that are very familiar and others that you may not have seen before. Until then, though, enjoy GIRAFFES!
You might remember that Giraffes are my favorite..never get enough of them..You have inspired me to take a second trip. Where are you in Africa at the time of these beautiful photos?
Oh no, never weary of your beautiful pics! So enjoyable. Thanks for sharing
I love every photo!! Keep them coming!!😁
Does the lighting make them appear to have varying colors from animal to animal or is that the reality…that they are not all the same color?
Beautiful! Good to see y’all back Sunday!
Beautiful pictures! Love Giraffes..... these are gorgeous shots of these animals. Thank you so much for sharing ❤️
Giraffes are one of my favorite also. I would revisit Africa again to see more of the animals, they are magnificent!
These are just wonderful photos. Thanks for sharing!
Never too many animals. On my bucket list. Just want to see them in person. Thanks so much for sharing
Wonderful Giraffes 😊
What a beautiful animal!
Love them!
Thanks for sharing.
Amazing photos!
Agree!!
THE BIRDS!Just a few of my favorite bird images from Kenya and Tanzania...(Most are identified with captions, but there are a couple that I'm still trying to be sure of.)
Beautiful Marcy! You and Doug are on the road a good bit! Love following your trips.
Beautiful! What time of year were you there? We are getting ready to go to both in late June until mid-July.
Thanks for sharing this especially with naming the birds. Very helpful!
Beautiful photos. You capture the best of each animal! Thank you for allowing us to follow your travels.
Thank you for sharing. These are spectacular shots!! 🩷
Oh love these , Marcy! Love birds and these are stunning great photos!

The tale of a VERY large snake we met in the SerengetiFollow the link. Meanwhile, we'd love to have you as one of our blog subscribers (the subscription link is on the lower right side of the page)thisphotojourney.com/index.php/2023/03/04/serengeti-serpent/
I would have come home at this point! Dormant or not, I would have come home. 🙈😳
Very cool! (And interesting blog about it)
WOW. I think we only saw one snake in Africa and it was pretty small
What an adventure!!
That's a big guy!
Oh my goodness!!!
😨😖
A few more shots of the pride that the injured male was protecting.
Wow! Amazing!
Beautiful
IT'S NOT ALWAYS PRETTY...This was our third trip to Africa, and I had always wondered how I would feel to see an actual kill. We've seen predators stalk their prey, but have always been happy that the prey was able to escape...at least while we were watching. On a few occasions, we've come upon the scene just after a kill and witnessed the predator enjoying their dinner. This was the case once again as we enjoyed our second day in Kenya's Maasai Mara. The lion in these images was seen the evening before lying very still out in the sun, breathing rapidly, and we could tell he had been in quite a battle because his face was gored. He had a large gash just above his mouth that was gaping open. All of us wondered if he would even make it as he rested close to the pride that we observed just a few yards away. Our guide told us that he had likely been protecting the pride and had received the face injury that looked really bad to us.Therefore, we were thrilled the next morning to see the male lion once again, and this time he was eating a fresh zebra kill. Nature isn't always pretty, but it's always fascinating and amazing...(By the way, thank you so much to all of those who have been sharing our Africa posts during the past few days. Shares are always greatly appreciated and necessary for us to get the word out on social media about Marcy's Photo Journey!)
Please tell me this wasn’t near the sweet little newborn zebra and it’s mother !
We saw a lioness eating a fresh killed wildebeest at Masi Mara when we were there. Circle of life.
Great photos, I will never forget that smell of the dead animal when we were there. We saw an alligator eating the baby zebra and the vultures were waiting in a nearby tree until the alligator had its fill...It was a little disturbing but like you said, Circle of Life...
WOWEEE😮
Wow 😮
THE BIRTH!!During our game drive to the bottom of the Ngorongoro caldera on our last day in Tanzania, we were treated to a very special experience. We saw a newborn zebra, who was only about 10 minutes old., with her loving mother. They were relatively close to the road, so we had a front row seat to the first interactions between mom and baby. Although we didn't witness the actual birth, when we arrived the placenta was still on the ground, and Mom was licking the wobbly legged baby who was wet and wrinkled. We sat there for a long time just observing and enjoying this amazing safari moment. Mom lovingly cleaned and nuzzled her newborn, taught her to walk and nurse as we looked on. Of course cameras were clicking, as we all captured the first few moments of this baby zebra's life. Hoping you enjoy this occasion almost as much as I did as I sat there misty eyed in absolute awe of nature.It's a lot of photos, but I encourage you to click on each one individually to see the captions and follow the process in order!
Nature is amazing. I love the Animal Kingdom. Your pictures are spectacular. Keep those wonderful pictures coming.
I love nature
These pictures are amazing, feel like I’m right there with them. The beauty of God’s creation.
So Beautiful! Excellent captions to guide us through the experience!
That is so amazing and you are so lucky to have a witness it !
Your photos tell the story so perfectly!
This is so neat! I wouldn't have wanted to leave.
What a magnificent adventure for mom and baby girl to be captured by photography. Thank you for the pics and explanations!
What an amazing experience! Praying baby girl stays safe.
Love the pictures. Thanks for sharing.💖
Such a majestic beauty!! And to capture the miracle of birth in the wild!!! I’m just speechless.
Absolutely stunning! What a wonderful experience!
These are amazing photos! Thank you!
Amazing, beautiful, majestic. Thank you for sharing that moment with us.
Thank u for sharing. This pictures are wonderful!
Thank you for sharing. That is a big newborn.
So beautifully captured! Baby’s stripes resemble the mom’s! Thanks for sharing!
Such a spectacular moment to experience that new beginning of life beautiful pictures
What a wonderful scene to see in person!
Oh my!! What a beautiful experience ! Great photos!!!!❤️
Beautiful! How awesome it is that you were able to observe this special event.
What an amazing experience!
This is amazing!!! What an experience to witness!!
Just amazing experience to see......just beautiful!

Welcome to our TEN NEW FOLLOWERS who have joined this page during this past month! We're happy to have you here. If you have friends who would enjoy seeing our photography and following our travel adventures, please invite them to join Marcy's Photo Journey. Our next trip is mid May when we will return to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks to photograph spring babies and landscapes. Shortly after that, it's on to a Danube River cruise in June.Check out our website at marcysphotography.com and enjoy past travel experiences.
Where was this taken? Beautiful!
Wow, this is a gorgeous shot. Great job Marcy (or Doug)!!
I have a shot from this exact spot 😊
THE ELEPHANTS!There are so many elephants in Kenya and Tanzania, and yet I can honestly say that every sighting of these huge creatures is still a thrill. We saw many baby elephants, including a few that were just days old. One reason I enjoy observing elephants is that they are so family oriented and always travel in large family groups. As a matriarchal family unit, the oldest female is generally the one in charge. It's amazing to see how they protect their young and nurture and play with their babies.The images from this trip to Africa will not be in the local galleries any time soon because we currently have a large inventory which includes several new pieces of work that were recently produced for the Knoxville exhibition. Therefore, if you see something you like, consider a custom order!
Amazing photos!
These are all so beautiful!
Beautiful photos!
Amazing....beautiful!
Amazing!!!

THE CATS!Finishing up a 7 1/2 hour layover in Frankfurt where I FINALLY had time to look at most of my images from the trip. A big apology to all of you who had counted on daily updates and pictures from Africa...things did not go exactly as I had planned. I had thought that there would be at least a little time each day to post and keep everyone back home apprised of what we were doing and seeing, but this trip schedule kept us on the move and pretty much exhausted most of the time! Each night we fell into bed, always thinking that there would be more down time the next day, but it never seemed to work out. During the few times that we actually had some time, it would inevitably be at a place where there was not good internet. Anyway, I hope to fill in the gaps over the next couple of weeks, so that you can still enjoy the adventure that is now behind us.This trip did not disappoint in any way! The landscapes and wildlife were amazing every day, and I'm also very pleased with some of the travel photography that gives a little glimpse into life in that part of the world. I guess I'm most excited about the cats we saw on this trip, because during our past excursions to Africa, we just didn't see that many lions, leopards, and cheetahs. This time lions were everywhere! On our first evening in Maasai Mara we discovered a pride of lions with four mamas, eleven cubs, and one male who had apparently been recently injured protecting the family. (More about that later!) Little ears, tales, and sweet cub faces were wriggling around everywhere, making it difficult to even take pictures because we were so enjoying the show!Cheetahs were also quite cooperative, but the elusive leopard still manages to elude. We saw only one, on our last day in the Serengeti, and he was very far away and greatly camouflaged. Remember that any of the images that you see on this page can be purchased through our custom order option in any size or any format (matted print, canvas, or metal). If you see something that you would love to have in your home or office, just contact me for specific details and pricing. Hope you enjoy some of the cats we were able to capture through our lenses during the past two weeks.
In the words of one of our tour guides, after complaints of no down time, you are not on vacation, you are on tour.
Amazing! Where were these taken? You saw a lot more than we did on our safari trip?
Oh wow! Wonderful trip and wonderful photos! Thank you!
Marcy's these are all fantastic. It just amazes me that the big cats can be so sweet and loving ❤️ at times.

I got caught with an ‘illegal’ banana on my way back from Costa Rica and sent to the agriculture office. 😳. More funny than scary. As it turns out Costa Rican bananas are OK but French bananas are a no- no. Good to know. Glad u r both safe!!
We were pulled aside in Frankfurt airport several years ago - pretty scary but we made it through.
Not good!!
😳😬
Yikes!

I pushed try getting back to US time after coming back from Japan (my home country, and I am a seasoned long distance traveler). But last time I came home right before Thanksgiving, I ended up getting Bell’s Palsy from exhaustion caused weaken immunity. I heard same cases from few other people who had it after the long trip.
I,m so happy for you two...and jealous. 😉
Don't know how you do it, but thanks for taking us along.🙂
You both look wonderful…cant wait to see the pics
Yesterday morning we were up and out before sunrise headed down to the river to see the hippo action. It was an amazing experience as we watched 75-100 hippos arrive and begin their morning. Here are some of the many, many images I took while we watched a fantastic display of nature. Despite the HORRIBLE smell, I was so glad I was there to see the morning hippo show!
Awesome pictures! These are so good Marcy's Photo. I can't imagine the stench though.💩
I remember the smell and growling! Beautiful pictures
Beautiful Marcy, so glad you got to experience this. Keep enjoying. thanks for sharing...
Awesome experience and photos!
What a great experience!
These pictures are amazing!!!
Awesome pictures! The smell of a hippo pool can really clear you sinuses.
I am living vicariously through your photos! Fantastic!
Spectacular!! Great shots.

After visiting a giraffe center and getting up close and personal with Big Ed Giraffe, we left Nairobi and launched out for the countryside and safari areas of Kenya. Today is actually our first real game drive, although we have had glimpses of animals along the way, and there are a few wild things nearby our room at the lodge where we are currently staying. Yesterday afternoon a bunch of zebras came by and joined Doug as he enjoyed a few minutes on the patio!Our schedule is really keeping us on the go, so there's never much time to even load and look at pictures, but here are a few more from the last few days. Some are "bus shots" as we journeyed from point A to point B...
Awesome, thanks for sharing.
Awesome pictures!
Giraffes are my favorite animal!!💖
As always…your pictures are wonderful!

Good morning from Kenya! It took us 28 hours from home to hotel, but after a good night’s sleep and breakfast, we’re feeling ready to roll. Very happy with our accommodations here in Nairobi, and we’re glad to have two more days here before moving out to the remote areas for safari excursions. Stay tuned…
Have a wonderful time! What hotel you are staying??
Kenya is great and the safaris are magnificent, you'll have a splendid time!
I’m really looking forward to your safari photos. You two are going to have an absolutely amazing, mind blowing experience!
I love Kenya and the people, so am a bit jealous. There is a severe drought in the rift valley where the church we helped is. Enjoy Maasai Mara!
Looking forward to your posts! My dream trip!
