Well as we start each day I really need to remember slow down and that nothing in groups of new people is perfect. After a morn NG brief a painful load up of all the gear we were on the road to the National park.
A few shots of MMGL
The first animal I see before coffee
A few shots along the way
I rode with Lemma one of the owners and it was a blast to. Hear about the local culture and history of the area.
I was surprised to see the park decorated for Christmas
I just knew that any transactions would be painful - bingo it took 40 minutes for Lemma to pay our entrance fees.
Well with that said off we go and just like that instant wildlife first a blue monkey
And then the Baboons were every where
A little one wanted a closer look at me
We stopped for a quick picnic lunch and saw a few birds
As we drove on we saw our first Elephant everyone was pretty excited to say the least
Very close
Then just around the corner was a Giraffe
Then a rare group of tree climbing lions
And a few then more Giraffes
Just an amazing day we stopped by a very distant hippo pool and the off to the Bougainville Safari Lodge a shot of my room
What a great surprise after a much needed shower and a Kilimanjaro beer we all sat down to a real xmas turkey dinner and then off to bed.
