Given Aladdin's 3 wishes
I would: (1) Restore Emperor Haile Sellasie's
original 'Lion of Judah' railway engine that's
standing all alone in the train yard. (2) Hook it
up to the Emperor's prized set of antique French
and British crafted coaches, and (3) Operate a
twice daily luxury tour on the Franco-Ethiopian
Railway. Built in the 1930s, the 482 mile line
stretches from Ethiopia's capital, Addis Ababa, via
Nazaret, Rift Valley and Dire Dawa, to Djibouti, a
French protectorate on the Gulf of Aden.

Kenya
turns on the
Magic
Minutes after our Kenya
Airways jet touched down at Nairobi International
Airport, following a cross-continent flight from
Cameroon - - we were Amboseli bound. Spectacular
sights on the route south included a panoramic
'passing parade,' with a
backdrop of
grassy fields and rolling hills covered with a
blanket of lily white blossoms as far as the eye
could see. In the foreground, every few miles stood
Maasai herdsmen, alone or in pairs. From nine year
olds to great grandfathers, they were guarding
their mixed herds of cattle, sheep and the
legendary, snowcapped Mount Kilimanjaro,
Amboseli
National
Park was
first on our list of Kenya's must-see attractions.
The most compelling reason is its large
concentrations and wide variety of wildlife. Little
time was wasted in getting us out 'on Safari, " as
no sooner than we checked in at the Amboseli
Serena
Safari Lodge, like Dr. Doolittle, we were off to
see the animals. Continued
