Africa first few days (more to come)

Visited a Masai women's cooperative where women are trained to better care for their family (ope fire chimneys, healthcare, etc), then on to Lake Manyara National Park where we encountered their infamous tree climbing lions (6 of them) ... jumping ahead abit but we have seen 14 tree climbing lions since we arrived. This photo set includes a male vervet monkey in season... notice the blue.  A yellow breasted barbet... one of those days when the evolutionary designers was on drugs? A large bull elephant that approached our car to see if we were ok... and he deemed us to be such. In all an awesome half dayy on safari.
