Trip Notes:
1. Watching lions tear a wilderbeast apart is very cool.
2. One million wilderbeast wandering the serengeti is an unforgettable experience.
3. Needing to go to the loo while bush camping in a tent in the serengeti with lions around makes you think very carefully about going outside. I got inventive (don't ask!).
4. A giraffe is faster than a speeding Irishman on a mountain bike (Steve-o)
5. Rubbing the acid from a bug called the "Nairobi Eye" all over your face... hurts (Rich)
6. Cycling up an enormous hill during the scorching heat of the Kenyan day without drinking water... can induce vomiting... twice (Callum)
7. Eight boys posing topless for a photo while leaning against a tree... looks a bit gay
