Africa is one of my favorite continents to visit in the world. I was fortunate to make it there twice, as my boys are wildlife enthusiasts and never complained to get up at 4 a.m. to go on game drives! On my first trip we visited the Maasai Mara, Amboseli National Park and Lake Nakuru in Kenya, as well as the Ngorongoro crater in Tanzania.  The second trip was within Botswana and South Africa.  The birds pictured here are the Lilac Breasted Roller and the Black Headed Ibis.
