Twigas

We had one more game drive at sunset and we had yet to see any twigas.  Twiga is the Swahili word for giraffe and for some reason it stuck.  Even a long painting pole became the "twiga stick".  We were on a mission.

I found it difficult to photograph a wildebeest - they run away.  Maybe not accustomed to visitors with cameras.  Richard says wildebeest are made up of parts left over from other animals.  That about sums it up. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Richard's safari sense did find two male lions but they were not to be disturbed while sleeping. Finally, we saw them.  We counted eighteen total.. The sun was setting. It was quiet and serene

and we just watched.

 

 

This little guy had to bend a long way down to get some water. 

 

 

 

And having finished their grazing, the twigas  walked quietly into the sunset.

Maisha ni mzuri.  Life is good.
