- Tawny eagles. A few moments later, they mated. (Sorry, I was too busy observing to snap a photo.)

We are enjoying your daily reports! FYI:
GIRAFFE,Giraffa camelopardalis, Family Giraffidae Color brown to rich chestnut (old males darker, even black), dissected into intricate tapestry by patches and blotches of lighter hair, pattern unique in each giraffe.
- Another elephant.
These guys are everywhere, and are largely responsible for the landscape, as they routinely take down trees to feed and/or demonstrate their masculinity. Hence the nickname "African bulldozer."

What a coincidence! Ali calls me the "New Hampshire Bulldozer" for exactly the same reasons! Loving the pictures! - Female hippo, with just the ears of her baby visible.

WOW! You guys are sooo fortunate to be able to take this trip. Is National Geographic looking for photographers? It's a possibility!

awe inspiring, just awe insiring.... - I don't know why we pronounce it "zeee-bra."
The British pronunciation of zeb-ra (like "debra") makes much more sense.
Mom@24.240.90.223 (05/24/2001 15:40:32):
but then, the Brits are sooo much more sensible while we just have fun! Doesn't zeeebra have a much better ring to it! - Jackal. Captured from video.
- This is what constitutes a major road inside Djuma. Meaning we can get into third gear.
- Impala. We saw hundreds of impala.
