The Andersons, Barnes and Chadwicks, or the ABC's, were our first visitors from Western Australia. They found out about us from friends in South Africa / England, the Martins, who had come on a safari a few years before. For us this was a fun trip, as these people were farmers of one sort or another (more the other) and understood land, nature and wilderness, but from a totally different world. This was a cross country, driving safari that started in Samburu, then crossed over the Aberdare Mountains to Lake Nakuru, and finished in the Masai Mara.
