I know some species have come from Africa (Ibis for one), introduced here for one reason or another, and multiply until they are known more as pests than anything else...as for the Big 5? Crocs are enough of a worry ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00827565948387573902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429786372649785047.post-68293973086597791822011-02-13T09:35:53.880-08:002011-02-13T09:35:53.880-08:00The birds and the flowers.. how very beautiful! a...The birds and the flowers.. how very beautiful! and the trees and the landscape - <br />It must have been sensory overload sometimes seeing soo many 'new' things at once!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02029451742280017744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429786372649785047.post-61651580826471585722011-02-12T15:27:07.295-08:002011-02-12T15:27:07.295-08:00Great collection of Kenya's natural treasures!...Great collection of Kenya's natural treasures!Charlene N.

I think I have a very narrow view of Africa being all very dry. . especially at the equator but already I can see I'll learn much.<br />I knew they had acacia trees but I was surprised to see bouganvailia in the last picture.
