Kenya, December 2008-January 2009 : K and I spent the end of 2008 and the first couple of weeks of 2009 in Kenya, including several nights each in Masai Mara NP, Lake Naivasha and Lamu. The wildlife was out in force and the beach was beautiful.

Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, January 2009 : After K left Kenya for work, I took a couple of weeks' trip by bus through Uganda, Rwanda (including the mandatory gorilla pilgrimage) and Burundi. Lake Bunyonyi, Uganda is among the more eye-catching destinations I've been to in Africa, and I was very pleasantly surprised by Burundi, which seems finally to be emerging from years of war. The gorillas were a highlight.

Djibouti and Somaliland, October 2008 : I flew from Tajikistan to Djibouti via Dubai, and headed to Lac Abbe and Lac Assal before returning to the capital. I enjoyed the natural scenery and ethnic diversity of Djibouti a great deal more than I had expected--most people treat it as a transit point rather than a place to spend a few days. I then got a return flight to Hargeisa, capital of Somaliland. The northernmost part of Somalia, the territory of Somaliland has de facto independence and a strong, relatively democratic government (compared to no government at all in much of the rest of Somalia). It is waiting for recognition from the international community. I then returned to Djibouti for my flights to Eritrea. Eritrea is covered in a separate gallery but I was happy to get back to beautiful Sanaa, Yemen for a day on the way there.

Eritrea, October 2008 : After Djibouti and Somaliland I flew to Eritrea. The country has some of the most intriguing urban environments anywhere in Africa. It also contains many natural wonders, but at the time of my trip I was limited to the areas around the major cities of Asmara, Massawa and Keren, and the main routes south of Asmara.
