jimonthemove: A long weekend, so we decided to get started with this whole Kenya thing nice and early.
jimonthemove: We ere invited by Ryan and Kendi to Samburu, which I'd never heard of.
jimonthemove: And there, we saw animals. This is an impala.
jimonthemove: And this, of course, is a giraffe.
jimonthemove: This was Nia's very first safari.
jimonthemove: One of the reasons we moved to Africa.
jimonthemove: And she had a fabulous time.
jimonthemove: Oryx and grant's gazelle
jimonthemove: And a first for me and Lorena: a cheetah.
jimonthemove: Utterly gorgeous.
jimonthemove: Pussy cat.
jimonthemove: OK then, two cheetahs.
jimonthemove: Majestic.
jimonthemove: Off they go.
jimonthemove: Impala again.
jimonthemove: This fella was huge.
jimonthemove: And older than me, I'm told.
jimonthemove: Had an old tracking collar on which looked most uncomfortable.
jimonthemove: Again: majestic.
jimonthemove: Next day, and we're up bright and early for more adventures :)
jimonthemove: Big croc.
jimonthemove: Less big croc.
jimonthemove: Baboon, and baby baboon.
jimonthemove: We drove down to the other side of the river for today's safari.
jimonthemove: These are grevy's zebras, which I'm told are only found in Samburu.
jimonthemove: As do Lorena and Nia.
jimonthemove: What do we see?
jimonthemove: We see a very big elephant coming straight for the car!
jimonthemove: And then wandering past.
