I came across your blog while searching for mana pools photos. I worked on this building back in ’96 as part of a UK funded conservation project to improve tourist facilities and help boost revenues for the park, its sad to see and read that the building was not finished to the original specification (this was to be a major revenue eraner for the park when completed as the camp infrastructure was falling apart), whilst you were there did you manage to meet the senior ranger Dick Ambrosei and his family? he was a true gentleman.

I have simiilar memories of hells highway into and out of the park, one time we got bogged down in the mud between the checkpoints after heading out for provisions and ended up sleeping in the back of the land rover to be woken by the lions at around midnight, coming from Ireland you don’t see too many lions up close and personal.

Well keep living the dream and adh mor ort, slan go fhoill ( good luck in Irish)
