Champagne and orange juice for breakfast at Larsen's to start the morning! |
"I shall find us a leopard" exclaims Daniel - "and not just the eyes!" |
If one of these guys is a dik, then this picture has to be "dik dik dik" |
We were all experts by now, we knew how to identify impala all on our own! |
Nathan, our driver/giude for Samburu drops us at the airpstrip |
See the various buildings at this airport? There's the departure lounge, the duty free shop, the control tower...... |
Not sure what mountain this was, but I liked this picture. This was just as we were leaving Samburu |
Clint learns to pilot the plane as right seat |
Flying over (or at least near) the Aberdares |

Lake Naivasha |
A village, just as we were descending at Maasai Mara National Park |

Kichwa Tembo airstrip |
All hands on deck to unload those Micato duffles! |
A touch of class - water, coke, coffee, hot chocolate & cookies are waiting for us |
These are the brand-new spiffy Bateleur/Kichwa Tembo vehicles. I still couldn't climb in the back though. |
Leaving the airstrip |
Hamerkop - our first Maasai Mara sighting |
Sykes' Monkey. These guys are plentiful as you come into Kichwa Tembo Camp. They are not really purple though... |
Daniel and Tom - Daniel was telling us he was in this same pose with one of the USA presidents |
Inside of the tents at Kichwa Tembo - that's Spunky on the bed - he's been to 44 countries with us. He loves Africa too. |
The tents have incredible bathrooms - this is the walk in shower |
The resident warthogs here keep the grass short |
We ate all our meals at Bateleu Camp as there was a cooking/training class going on at Kichwa Tembo |
Lunch overlooking the Maasai Mara |
Nyamera - Daniel was impressed I knew what the Swahili name was for topi. Sounds Swedish though, doesn't it? |
MY road! This cape buffalo didn't want to move |
You guessed it - impala! |
Supper at Bateleur - EVERYONE is very enthralled with what Gloria is saying! |
