I'm amazed how birds can land on these thorny Acacia tree branches. I'm in the planning stage of a return trip to Africa next year and I've been doing a review of the safari I was on in 2016 and came across this roller that I had skipped in the past.

Once I come up with a date and an itinerary I'll post it here in case anyone would be interested in joining my wife and me. I haven't got the details yet the company I have traveled a lot with (Overseas Adventure Travels) will set-up a privet tour if I can book a certain number of travelers. More details to come.

Very nice. Equally amazing is the ability of giraffes being able to browse on such thorny trees too.
