Though our trip to Nanyuki was mainly about 'work', (or what we in the church call 'ministry'), we were fortunate enough to have a brilliant one night's stay at the Ol Jogi ranch, around 45 minutes from town. This is a 65,000 acre ranch, (owned by some American billionaires), in which there are a fair number of wild animals, including hippo, rhino, elephant, giraffe, lion, leopard, jackals, etc., etc.
The manager of the ranch kindly took us for a drive on which we saw a number of different species, including these chaps! When I took this shot I was probably standing no more than 30 yards away from them which, believe me, was "quite close enough"!
