East Africa - Kenya and Tanzania
Yes there is definitely no better song title to choose from. From the second I landed in Nairobi at 4am 8 days ago to a few hours before now when I got back from my Serengeti safari, this has been one amazing welcome to Africa. I know, Egypt is in Africa, but to I always felt I was in the Middle East. Now there is no doubt. Welcome to the Jungle. I'll try posting the Journal entries tomorrow but for now I just wanted to get things started, let you know I survived my encounter with an angry lion (see the pics) and send out love and thanks for following along and all the comments.
