We were miles away from this tree near the end of the day when I asked our guide if we could make it back to the tree before sunset. When we arrived, there was another jeep already there. So, our guide backed up as close to the spot I wanted to be and I climbed out the back of our jeep onto the hood of the other jeep to get this shot.
Ambroseli National Park was our last stop on our safari through East Africa. We got dropped off in the early evening at the airport in Nairobi, which was in total chaos due to the arrival terminal burning to the ground two weeks before our arrival. The situation was total confusion. People were crammed everywhere.
We were informed that our flight, the only flight for the next 24 hours, was way overbooked and that our seats, that we had reserved eight months prior, were already claimed. Eventually, after some reasoning, we secured a couple of seats beside the washroom. Not ideal, however almost fifty people, who had reservations, didn’t get on the plane and were forced to wait in the airport till the next flight 24 hours later.
Needless to say, we didn’t get much sleep on the plane and drove home from Detroit after being on safari all day, all the confusion at the airport, and flying all night.
However, it was an unforgettable trip and a journey we will remember forever. Thanks for reading. Marilyn and Dave
