Wild Africa: A Photo Journey through Kenya & Tanzania
Presenter: Jennifer Good, Capital Area Audubon Member
This past fall, Jennifer spent nearly three weeks traveling as a member of a small group through some of East Africa’s amazing national parks. This once-in-a-lifetime trip took her to Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and the Serengeti in Tanzania, and Maasai Mara, Amboseli, Tsavo, Nairobi National Park, and the Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage in Kenya. Along the way she took lots of photos of the amazing variety of wildlife they saw – including 146 life birds. She would love to share her photos and stories with you if you’re able to join.
