Into the Storm

Having checked lion off of our to-see list at the very beginning of our first safari ride, we settled down assuming we would take a leisurely tour of the park.  Yeah, right. 

First, Alex-of-Awesomeness heard over his CB radio that a cheetah had been spotted.  Except we didn't understand because the conversation took place in Kiswahili.

We were going about five mph and then suddenly without warning about 50 mph.  Looking ahead, we saw haziness.  We were heading right into a sandstorm.

Everyone else was speeding out of the sandstorm.

Even the animals were on the move.  These are wildebeests.

A zebra seemed shocked at our passing.

It was hard to see far at all and the animals would appear as if out of nowhere.

And then...the sun and clean air and beautiful sky on the other side.

But no cheetah.
