On Sunday we left the farm and traveled to a beautiful part of the country, not too far from the Arusha National Park (you can read about this beautiful park here).
We have some friends who own property in the area, and they are in the process of building a home there. So, we packed some lunch, bottled water and soda’s, our walking shoes, hats and sunscreen and off we went.
Walking in the African bush is very different to walking on the farm. For one, we had no real set pathways to follow, but rather we followed the natural pathways left by animals who had walked that way before us. We also had to frequently side step fresh piles of elephant dung.
We saw a flooded wetland area ahead and walked towards it, with the dogs leading the way.
My daughter contemplated wading in ….. and couldn’t resist (I stopped her when she was only ankle deep though !)
We admired the beautiful scenery and the dense forest above us ……………
It was a lovely way to spend a Sunday .... walking in the African bush with good friends and the people that I love ... listening to the birds, looking out for small game and breathing in the fresh bush air ..... magical !
