 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! |
