African Scenery



These pictures are taken at Park W. The first one is of the area where we camped overnight, on the top of the rocks that were beside the campsite. It was very beautiful, and quite different topography from what we had been driving in to get to it. The setting was absolutely gorgeous, with canvas tents arranged on the perimeter, perfect sand all around, a cookout shelter with tables and lanterns for our supper that they prepared and served us, and a spot for a bonfire at night while stargazing, complete with tea and coffee. The evening we were there was so clear and the stars so bright, it was magnificent. We stayed up as late as we could keep our eyes open, but had to get up early the next morning to catch the first sunlight hours to get back in our vehicle to search for animals. The second picture is of the sunrise as we saw it riding in our truck. It was so beautiful. The kids were all bundled up top of the truck in warm clothes and sleeping bags, and they had the perfect viewing spot. We then went back to the campsite for breakfast, and packed up our bags to continue on for the day. What a great way to spend an evening and morning!
