We just got back from a relaxing night at Ndarakwai Camp in West Kilimanjaro where we celebrated Father’s Day with the Banks’. The “tents” were the most spacious that we have stayed in (usually we have to split into two tents).
We even got morning coffee and hot chocolate on the little veranda of the tent.
We went for a short game drive in the afternoon where some walked back to camp. We saw wildebeest, impala, bushbuck, zebra, giraffe, warthogs, and eland.
After a short rest, we walked to a tree house that overlooks a waterhole for our sundowners. It was fun to watch the zebra all come down for their sundowner drink, too.
But, by far, the highlight of the weekend was being able to watch a giant rock python finish off a juvenile bushbuck.
Imagine this:
Going into this:
In the first pictures below, you can still see the butt and rear legs of the bushbuck outside of the python. (Please enlarge to get all of the gory details). If we had gotten there just a little bit later, we would have missed the whole thing (although we still would have seen an overstuffed python).
How did you get to celebrate Father’s Day?
