Early morning
fog takes the shape of the mountain peak it covers.
A Beisa Oryx.
You gotta love his face.
A pair of
Red-billed Hornbills make a nice picture.
A highlight
was this Leopard. There were about fifteen Land Rovers and vans around him,
all of whom the elegant cat ignored. Smooooth.
The Kori Bustard
does an incredible display in breeding season, but we were lucky just to see
the bird at all.
You could
arrange for a camel ride near Samburu Lodge, but we didn't.
This lioness
lost her cubs one year, and adopted a baby Oryx. The incredible thing is that
she didn't do it just once, but three separate times.
The Grant's
Gazelle in his elegant dress.
Love this
shot of an Eastern Yellowbill Hornbill.
This Cape
Buffalo calf is the next generation.
An Eastern
Pale Chanting Goshawk just as he's leaving his perch.
Turkana Dancers.
There was a lot of vertical jumping, to great heights, especially in the case
of the extremely tall fellow in the red wrap.
I like the
fact that this girl's green dress is a perfect match for the greenery behind.
If you compare
this zebra with earlier ones, you will be interested to know that this is not
a Common, but rather a Grevy's Zebra. They are the largest zebra, and are endangered.
The black and white pattern is totally different from that of the Common Zebra.
Sort of dizzying.
