Wow! What can I say! God is truly amazing in his creation!
The differences in the landscape so close together. The wonders of his creation in the landscapes, skies, animals, birds, reptiles. They are all amazing to see.
I saw elephants, lions, zebras, hippos, leopards with their kill in the tree beside them, lions - male, female and cubs. I saw a cheetah chase down a gazelle, gazelles, wildebeests, ostriches -mating, and a host of other animals and birds.
I watched life on the Serengetti play out before my eyes with elephants chase away a pride of lazy lions, then the lions challenge a herd of buffalo and then the herd challenge the lions back.
I took some great photos, but some of the other volunteers said that when they uploaded their photos to the internet it erased them off of their camera. I need to make sure that will not happen to me. Until then, sorry no photos.
As I said the safari was fabulous. I went to Lake Manyara for 1 day, the Serengetti for 2 days, and Ngorongoro Crater for 1 day. Each place had it's own beauty and wonders. I loved being able to see the animals in their natural environment.
There are so many safari vehicles that are there every day that the animals are not afraid of them. We were literally only meters away from lions, hippos, wildebeeste and zebras.
Our guide was wonderful and he really imparted good information on what we were seeing. If he was not with us we probably would not have seen really life played out before our eyes.
I feel very blessed with the opportunity I have been given here in Africa. God has been here with me and I have told all I have come in contact with how he has been providing for me. Hopefully, I will be able to share with you some of what he has been doing for me another time.
Prayers: Fredrick's car is really broken down now and he needs God's help in fixing it.
Fredrick and Hannah's neice - who looks after the children has gotten Typhoid. Hannah took the children home to Kenya on Sunday and that night her neice collapsed. They took her to the hospital and got her help. She is doing better now. Please keep her in your prayers.
I got a cold while on safari and am just getting over it. Please pray for a full and speedy recovery for myself.
Also pray that I continue to keep God and his work as my focus. All for Him and his Glory.
Thanks for the comments. Take care

Hello Cath
Maybe you will be able to show us your animal photos when you get back? Sounds like amazing things you saw.
The last thing I ever expected was for you to get a cold in Africa.
We love following your blog. Very interesting. You are already a blog expert.
Blessings to you,

Cath
You are a great blog writer, it feels like we are, physically, right there with you ("in the bush") as well as in thought and in prayer.
Will share your prayer requests with the church family on Sunday.
Hope the cold is going/gone.
Really glad that you are having such enjoyable adventures.
Tim
