Emma had planned a African safari as a
birthday present for Mireille, and seeing that I was married to her
I got to go along as well!!
It started as a 2 hour plane trip to an inland city Tamale .. then a
3 hour car ride deep into Ghana. Even the trip was
exotic and exciting for us. Zaina is somewhat of a luxury lodge
right in the game reserve .. we were there 3 nights and in that
period were offered 4 wildlife safari tours.
Arrived at this airport after an approx 2 hour flight
inland from Accra -- An interesting city.
Picked up at the airport for an interesting 3 hour
car ride inland to the National park for the safari tour.
Some simple farming villages along the way
The park gate
The first safari of the day left at 06:30 ... they are
waiting for us.
Got this pix of Emma and Mireille just as an elefant was
coming over a fence.
On the elephant trail
This was our dinning room .. lovely food and lots of
service.
Elephant in a mud hole ... took this from our cabin
deck!
Our cabin looking down over the elephant water hole.
We had wonderful airconditioned cabins .. half brick and
half tent. The tent part was double canvas with insolation
between.

Our own park ranger Jacob ... part of his job was
dealing with poachers!
