Foothills of the Kilimanjaro

Friends -
We left Nairobi this morning after breakfast, drove southwards down to Amboseli via the Kenya/Tanzania border at Namanga where we stopped to buy some gifts and souvenirs. We arrived at Ol Tukai Lodge in the Amboseli National Park in time for lunch. Our rooms are in cottages looking out to plains that extend as far as the eye can see. From our porches, we can see zebra, elephants, wildebeeste, thompson's gazelles, and ostriches. The cottages on the other side have the mountain view, looking right at Mt. Kilimajaro and its peak when the clouds clear up. Some of the younger people on our crew are enjoying the swimming pool right now after lunch, and we will all head out for a game drive as the sun starts coming down around 4 pm. 
 
Just wanted to let you know we are all ok here. Best wishes to you all,
