It's hard, long driving in Western Tanzania, but every now and again there is a moment of beauty behind the wheel
Monkey
Monkey. Yeah they look cute, but they are a pain in the arse.

Life in a hippo pool can be VERY rough
We had these lionesses all to ourselves for hours, til the sun drove us to seek shade ourselves
Beautiful and deadly
Lion tail
Just before nap time
Nap time, if it weren't for these flies
Nap time
Beautiful, wild, remote, unvisited Katavi National Park
A beautiful buzzer
Katavi delivered Nat Geo-style hippo and croc congregations
Baby having a snooze
One of the more menacing yawns you'll ever see
Would you want to paddle a dugout canoe near that
This gal can't wait for nightfall. She's hungry
Danger lurks
This bit of the drive up the creek was okay. 30 metres on, the Yank mobile got stuck so deep we had to set up a double line pull [640x480]
But before we could winch the Yanks out, we needed to sort out our own bogging issues. [640x480]
Monkey. Yeah they look cute, but they are a pain in the arse.

Katavi
The sun sets in Katavi. Things are about to get very wild.
Take the photo, quick
This spotted hyena was a bit annoyed that he had to wake up and move aside for us
The Yank's camper
This guy LOVED being photographed.
Fany and fam are very attentive to the new baby. We were the first people to see the latest addition to the 'F' troop.
It's lunchtime, all the time
Delicious fruit, apparently
Chimp grooming
Eerily familiar
Intelligent eyes
It's lunchtime, all the time
When it's not lunchtime, it's naptime

So cute, so smart
