And what do we see right off the top on our morning game drive? A female lion!! |
This is a male lion - fully grown. Sometimes it's too hot here to grow manes |
So, she goes into the tall grass, he follows. We hear a very loud & long '''purrrrr''' and Daniel says 'wait for it guys....' |
And, sure enough....... too early for a nooner, but..... |
The satisfied couple after |
He does look very relaxed, doesn't he? |
9. Samburu - An olive baboon and her baby |
Maribou storks on the almost dry river bed |
The sticker on the back of this van said 'Town Ace'. The driver should have read that - we hauled him out. |
Daniel pours us a coffee |
Tom enjoys his coffee and a leg stretch |
Secretary birds got this name because their long black crest resembles the quill pens worn by scribes in the 19th century |
A snake eagle, later on in the safari we saw one with a snake in it's talons |
A close up of an impala |
Lunch today was on the deck overlooking the river, I could have stayed there all day |
The tents at Larsen's are pretty big |
This is the reception, which doubles as a bar, and the gift shop |
Afternoon game run, back with the elephants |
Samburu is very scenic - those are doum palms (found along the river) |
A rainbow after a quick and short rainfall |
A leopard was sighted in this area, Sundowners had to be in the Land Cruiser today! |
A scenic rainshower way over there! |
