On our previous visits to Grand Tetons National Park in Wyoming, we’ve coupled it with a trip to Yellowstone and we’ve spent a lot of time driving from place to place within the park. Trying to see as much as possible we’ve focused on the Teton Park Road. This time we stayed inside the park instead of in the town of Jackson and concentrated on taking it slow and really drinking in the experience. We lingered a long time on the Mormon Row Road yesterday when we spotted a herd of bison. Today as we headed out we drove north along US-191 then east on US-26/287 at the Moran Junction pausing a couple of times to capture awesome views of mountains and then to watch a grizzly bear and her cub feeding nearby.
Queen Mary 2’s arrival in the Port of Dakar, Senegal was heralded in the local press and greeted with ceremony. Our own excursion took us on a coach journey through the streets of the capital city to visit a Wolof village and the shore of Lake Retba, the salty lake famed for an intense pink color.
Today’s safari adventure transported us out into the Dorob National Park to have up close encounters with little creatures that are well adapted to the extreme heat and lack of water in the Namib Desert.
With a UNESCO World Heritage Site, two national parks, dozens of museums, and hundreds of tours offered in the Cape Town area there is more than plenty to do. For our two day visit we opted to concentrate on African wildlife visiting the Aquila Private Game Reserve and the Boulders Beach Penguin Colony for a wonderful chance to these fabulous animals in their own habitat.
