Rogue Elephants Gone Wild ~ Part II
Echoes ring down the halls of the Serena Hotel, the three girls' high-pitched voices on a ninety-degree decibel. The following morning we boarded a Cessna Caravan (the suburban of the skies) and arrived none the worse for the wear at a remote airstrip. At one point, a giraffe gracefully out-skirted us on the dirt runway making for an interesting and amusing landing. Bill Winters says that, landing on the dirt strip is one of the difficulties of running a safari operation because of the plethora of seemingly unaware four-legged creatures. Two Toyota Land-cruisers (custom modified chassis) await our landing, not only to make sure the runway is clear, but also to ferry us to our tented campsite.
