Nyungwe Again

My Aunt Marney and cousin Bronwyn came to visit. for a few days. It was so good to see them! Here are some pics from our walk in Nyungwe Forest, one hour from home.

Our guide, Clever, is aptly named. He knows so much about everything in the forest!

After seeing a Mahogany tree I could never buy it’s wood. How slowly they grow and how magnificent they are in old age! A tree my height is 10 years old. This specimen is hundreds of years old.

Note to self: a rain forest doesn’t have a dry season. Bring a jacket.
