I went with my wife and a U of Utah Medical/Global Health team to Ghana last month and after two weeks going to villages (they did research and some treatment) in the rain forest, the team was scheduled for a break at the Zaina Lodge and wildlife safari-style sojourns in Mole National Park. The wildlife are protected (unfortunately that also includes the thieving, conniving, obnoxious baboons. I thought the OB might enjoy some of our photos, especially the amazing sunsets.

The Volta River, which along with reservoirs, supplies much of the electricity for Ghana and its neighbors



The infinity pool at the Zaina lodge overlooking the West African savanna at night. You can swim there if you don't mind dodging very large bats and insects hungry for type O positive blood.



Fiery sunset captured on a late afternoon safari.


Some very laid back elephants who know that with the armed rangers around, they don't need to fear people.



Criminal baboon: two years ago, one such critter bounded onto a terrace and stole a whole summer sausage from one of our docs, never slowing down despite his attempts to bean the critter with a can of beer.



Yet another beautiful African sunset.
