One of the best parts of my role is witnessing the camaraderie that develops amongst women, mostly strangers at the start of a tour. The chatter & laughter from the start of this tour signalled that.
This tour ticked all the boxes - friendships, animals & birds in their natural habitat, the Masai Mara, Serengeti, even the weather was on our side.
Each day we split into 3 different groups with a different driver/guide, each so knowledgeable & informative about almost everything. We all saw the "big 5" (lion, rhino, leopard, elephant and buffalo), the "ugly 5" (hyena, warthog, vulture, marabou stork and wildebeest), & 4/5 of the "little 5" (ant lion, buffalo weaver, elephant shrew, leopard tortoise and rhinoceros beetle).
Collective nouns delighted us - who actually decides these? - so here are some less familiar:
A tower of giraffe
A crash of rhino
A coalition of cheetahs
A sedge of cranes
A bloat of hippos
A cackle of hyenas
A venue of vultures
A leap of leopards
An obstinacy of buffalo
A memory of elephants
It has certainly been my privilege to escort this group & I thank you all for displaying many traits that make Sisterhood Womens Travel what it is.
