Kenya is known as the safari supermarket. In 1994, however, though it was already crowded, it seemed still enjoyable. Twelve years later, as far as we can imagine from the huge amount of safari offers at sale on travel agencies, things might be much worse.

Superb ballet! That's the word! Among the hundreds of photos shot by us and by our friends, may be these ones with the giraffes were the most beautiful. The light at that time of the day - end of the afternoon - was absolutely perfect. Those photos and films were the best memory we took with us! The colors of Africa!
