Bunnies and mooses and groupies, Oh my!!! The Wilderness Lodge groupies thread. 4.0

[Granny]

Stopher...thanks for the Monday morning uplifting photos!

I finally have some of my photos loaded from my recent AKV-Kidani stay. Of course, they are completely off topic for the thread so I'll just say that it was obvious to me from the design, charm and ambience of this resort that it had the same architect as WL. So now that I've tied this back to our thread, I have a few photos:

The AKL-Jambo lobby of course has a very familiar feel to us Groupies:

As do some of the walkways around the resort:

The Kidani lobby has its own charm:

And their own version of the WL totem pole:

Lots of nooks and crannies like this great comfortable room with the fireplace and the overlook of the savanna.

And no shortage of animal views from our balcony:

And Eliza, I couldn't help but think of you when I saw this in our hallway:

So true, so true!

Granny - those are some great photos! Thanks for sharing. Makes me want to be there right now...

 

[Muushka]

Wow Granny. That is the first time I have seen the walkway. It does look like VWL! Thanks for posting them, it is fun to compare.

Mother and child, I believe. So let's stick with hugging!

When we went on the lodge safari last year they told us they are 2 young girls born close together, different moms. They have grown up together and are inseparable! How great is that?

26 days and counting down!

And Eliza, I couldn't help but think of you when I saw this in our hallway:

So true, so true!

....This just in, Congolese wiseman's wife tries to feed son to Hyenas for burning down her kitchen trying to make microwave popcorn.

Thanks for the giggle.

Jimmy...thanks for sharing all the pictures. I know it got really hot while you were there and it's not always fun to take photos in the heat. But you did a great job...and always nice to see Ranger Stan, though I'm still adjusting to seeing him in his "civvies".

Looks like you all had another great trip. Thanks for posting the pictures.
