Amboseli National Park - May 30, 2006

Our safari adventure really begins today! We were up early to board our flight to Amboseli National Park, for two nights at the Serena Lodge. Two game runs were on tap today, one from the airport to the lodge, followed by lunch, and then another in the afternoon. We were pretty tired though, so neither Jim nor I went on the afternoon run - just enjoyed the lodge and it's ammenities!
