The Diary of our Duo Safari

Sandy and I selected the East African Explorer trip to celebrate a milestone birthday. She is a keen photographer and I love working with my video camera so it seemed a good opportunity to complete a joint venture.

We arranged to visit Kenya and then Tanzania and this diary records our experiences in both countries. As well as treks and wildlife safaris we wanted insights into the way of life and cultures of local communities. By spending some time in local villages and visiting cultural activity programmes we did indeed recognise the benefits that foreign visitors can bring. This became a very important and rewarding part of the trip.

We were promised dinner around a camp fire,
starlit skies and camping under acacia trees. We experienced all of that and much more and I have put together a selection of still photos and video clips to share our memories.

I hope you enjoy
Sylvia

Technical Notes:
Broadband connection and Macromedia is required to stream the video clips. If a video frame is displayed with an arrow in the play line, then you have everything required. A normal dial-up connection allows you to view a slideshow of the stills. Click on the photo in the frame to start. It will link to my web album where you can select the slideshow option.
The front page will contain all the daily postings or you can navigate around this site by selecting a link to an individual posting/location.
