My trip through Africa and Europe - Rwanda 28/7

Recommended Posts

The last country in Africa that we visited was Rwanda. We were pleasantly surprised, not knowing what to expect after the Genocide and rebuild of the country. Clean, good infrastructure. One day a month the entire population turns out to clean up the countryside, city and help build classrooms etc in the schools.

Photos follow - I have labelled some of them

we were away for 12 weeks in all, just over 5 weeks in Africa and then went through some of Europe. I will post a few pics of Europe but not nearly as many as I have done for Africa. All in al I took over 4,000 photos.

hah sheepsnana - it was astounding watching them stripping off the bark and sucking the sap. They stripped the area bare and those trees in the way the big Silverback just walked past and snapped them off at the base. They had actually come over the wall out of the park and those fields behind them in some of the pics are the locals potato fields.

Are all the pictures of the animals taken in the wild?

Awesome...awesome pics :happy1: :happy1:

Caper :P

yes, every one of them

what you arent seeing is the vast herds of wilderbeest, elephants etc. The wilderbeest were starting to line up for migration. Those are on video.
