When we were in the Netherlands on the way here, my granddaughter was using her cell phone as a camera. But a cell phone did not cut it out here. She was using my T3 with a 300 mm lens and I was using my new T5i.
We saw a lot of giraffes

The camp had these flags to capture tsetse flies which are supposed to be attracted to blue and black. They put insecticide on the flags. I do not know what scientific study has been done to determine that those are the colors that the tsetse flies like. It does not seem logical to me.

We spent the night at Mawenga Camp. I sent emails from the bar as that is where there is internet. Jeremiah has got a wheelchair for me to use which is a godsend although the paths here are not very wheelchair friendly.
