Greetings from Singita Faru Faru. It is amazing - quite different from the Sabi Sands area in South Africa. The reserve is adjacent to the Serengeti and has spectacular vistas and wide open savannah. Anne and Gary have arrived and are resting up in preparation for their first game drive.

The lodge overlooks two watering holes and there is a lot of activity. This breeding herd of elephants spent quality time with us yesterday afternoon. This is the view from our deck - I took this with my blackberry! No "real" camera required!


This afternoon we had some giraffes stop by


Lots of cats to watch. We followed this pregnant female cheetah for about 30 minutes yesterday. She was auditioning for Africa's next top model - just striking pose after pose.


She needed a little rest after wandering around


There are a few lion prides in the area. The one we were visiting with yesterday had killed a giant gazelle the day before and they were really lazy - and conveniently located just off a main path.
