Pictures From Our Epic Road Trip

We ended up crossing a river on our fist safari at Mole. Strong current, wet feet!

At the end of our safari, beautiful view. We're a hat family!

Beautiful male bush buck.


one of the biggest termite mounds we saw!


This is NOT zoomed in...this is really how close we were to this man-eating wart hog.

Cute little kids.

supposed to be the oldest mosque in West Africa...made of mud!

HUGE Baobab...

It was a LONG trip.

Little kid's toy made out of tall grasses and wood.

Man weaving string...REALLY long strings.

Rice fields by my Dad's project site.


"Off to Hollywood!"


Think of how many people you could fit in your car by putting two on the back door.

Nother big Baobab.

Wow...totally unsafe. Think this would fly in the US?

The entrance to our 'hotel' room in Campment L'Elephant...charming?


Waterfalls...from behind.



Mama love from Ghana Mama.


"Finally, I can see what I look like..."

"OK, what are they doin?"




Little huts on our way to Mole National Park.

Girls with water on their head from a well.

Walking through slop after crossing the river.

small feet, huh?



He's eating thistles. How does he do that?


Another beautiful shot.

Huge elephant crossing.


This is a picture from of our back porch at Mole


Little kids goofin' around.


Newborn babies.

Peek a boo!

Just chillin'

Family time...just like our family councils: in a tree with Dad's tail dangling.


Cute lil' guy.

"Red alert! She's crushing our castle!"

Beautiful birds.


They cram as much as they can.

Look at how big the tree is compared to our car.




Burkinabe Gas Station...take your pick and 'fill'er up'


School in Bama near the project site: Can you spot us? Over a hundred kids in this classroom...yes, one class. No AC...no fan...lots of hot kid bodies.



Our Halloween pumpkins on the roadside...






Can you see us? This is a slave camp...we're on the lookout rock watching for run away slaves.



crossing a bridge that is in the middle of repair


"Are you sure I can eat this?"

Cool tree at the monkey sanctuary



We were sooo tired after the trip

How many bikes do you think there are?


It was a totally awesome trip! :)

  4. Those pictures are amazing! I thought I needed a pickup truck to move, but after seeing these photos I think I can do it with my bike.

  5. These pictures are awesome, Hannah. I think my favorite is the van being loaded up 12 feet high with people/belongings. :)

  6. OK, how do you know it was a man eating warthog? I want details. Is that wrong? I can't believe the colors of the birds! And the expressions on the faces of the monkeys! And the newborn monkeys! I would love to watch them interact. I also would really, really like to climb that tree with you. I hope you got really high - at least higher than your brother. : )
