Nothing can prepare you for the vastness of one of God’s most marvelous creations… the African plains. As we landed four different times on compressed gravel runways ….I was thinking …this is nothing likeWild Kingdom ….even on our first color TV! There are no words in my vocabulary to describe the stunning beauty of the land or the awesome thrill of huge herds of animals on the run.
Our guide /driver Tony ….and no he was not Italian …..made this magnificent experience even better. His knowledge of the habitat and animals….. his skill in maneuvering the Landrover (we were doing some serious four wheeling!!)…. and amazing ability to spot the animals … and his wonderful sense of humor took our trips to the next level. My personal favorites were the hippos.
The Lodge where I stayed accommodated us in first class style. It was impossible to imagine a tropical paradise out in the middle of nowhere. We were pampered by gracious hospitality. I lost count of all the new African dishes I tried and could not pronounce What a privilege it was for me have a few days of R & R. I thank my precious wife for the incredible gift to her thrill seeking husband.
Tomorrow … Saturday … I will attend a Kenyan wedding …. Then Sunday I have three concerts so pray for a strong voice…. And quick connections with the kids!
