As the Sun Sets in the West, We Say Goodbye to Africa

We are now home trying to recover from jet lag, time change and a 48 hour journey to get us here.  Before we end this trip I want to share some more sites and adventures we had.  We traveled in Vans, Land Rovers, Land Cruisers, boats and planes.
