In August of 2005, Dan and Merrie honeymooned in Kenya and Tanzania, viewing wildlife from agamas to zebras. Get your scroll bar ready, and join us on our info-taining virtual tour through East Africa... you can safari along with us chronologically, or take a look at our master list of wildlife we saw along the way. Or, for an even shorter summary, you can read Merrie's article about our trip in the Phildelphia Inquirer.

This is a pretty complete list of all the animals we saw
in each park. A check indicates that we saw a particular animal in a
particular park, a check-plus indicates that we saw that animal with its
young (roughly defined as less than six months old), and a blue check
indicates a link to one of the pictures available in this album.
