Amboseli experience

Here are some of the pictures of the Amboseli experience...

The "airport"...







After landing at the airport, straight out on safari...
elephants, zebras, ostriches, oh my...


Here is my "tent"...






Most importantly... a flush toilet...


And hot shower...



So you don't think you see a shower...?? Well, that bucket is it. When you are ready for a shower, you ask the staff to fill the bucket with hot water for you. Then they hoist it up and gravity does the rest... yes, there is a shower stall with a shower head inside. This is part of the Eco-friendly thing, because it reduces water consumption and energy to theta the water (it's solar). Yes, there is enough water to get clean, but it does take a little getting used to... and asking for permission to shower is a little strange. Ironically, these showers were hotter than the fancy schmancy hotel in Nairobi and the 5 star safari camp in the Mara. And after a long dusty day on safari, they were damned refreshing.
