Getting up early and it is not for golf!

Well a 500 am wake up for a 545 leave is on tap today. Joseph takes us to Wilson Airport to catch our first bush flight.

Here is the gang getting on the plane. No beverage service or movie for this flight. No peanuts or assigned seats. The only drawback is 32 pounds of luggage per person.

A view of the narobi national park from the air.

We land on gravel, not even a landing strip and are met by these beasts.

After a short drive our guide and driver stops to show us his map and offer coffee and rolls. A true continental breakfast.

Here are some animals we see in our first game drive.

Then it was on to Ol Donyo Lodge our new home.

The gang enjoying the view.

Then after spending a hour in the blind watching animals and asking tons of questions to our guide Tim, including do they wear underwear under their robes, I saw this sign.

Lynn and I came back for a short rest to prepare for the next game drive and had a room visitor.

Our next game drive.

Then the highlight of the evening for Nate and I. A double Johnie Walker black at our first sundowner on the plains.

Then it was back to the lodge for a dinner to cap off the night. I got to make and eat my own pizza!

Well for today that’s all folks.
