    Hi, my name is Frank, I'm from the Midlands and enjoy visiting zoo's and wildlife parks. I also regularly go on safari holidays to Tanzania and Kenya.
    I have visited about 30 British zoo's / parks this year so far. This coming week I will be touring the West Country to take in Exmoor, Dartmoor, Paignton, Newquay and Noah's Ark Zoo's.

    Indeed it is. I have an original poster from 1923 of The Great Carmo featuring Togare and his lions.

    Hello Frank. Where abouts in kenya have you been? I too enjoy african safaris. I would recommend Ethiopia and South Africa as well. Not been to Tanzania though but I would think a lot of it is similar to the Masai Mara.
