Hiking Encounters






Here are some plants, animals, & scenery that we encountered during an 8 hour hike through the desert & sudden oasis.

Photo 1 - Notice the lush greenery and water flow from Mt. Kilimanjaro bringing sudden life to the surrounding desert. (Terri & Danielle in matching tie-dyed Henderson Ts)

Photo 2 - whistling tree acacia - plant & ants have symbiotic relationship... the acacia tree offers the ants shelter and the ants offer the plant protection by biting anyone or anything trying to disturb it.

Photo 3 - hypoestes aristata

Photo 4 - black and yellow argiope orb spider

Photo 5 - hyena
