The wildest weekend

Roger, roger, simba, simba..... our safari driver and guide is talking over the radio - we are looking for lions. We are at the Samburu national park for the weekend and what a weekend. We have seen four out of the big five: Lion, Leopard, Elephant and Water Buffalo - here is the proof:

We also saw a lot of twigas - giraf's:

We stayed in a tent camp in the savanna - together with a naughty group of baboons. At night we heard the lion roaring and hyenas drinking water just outside our tent. In the morning we could see elephant pooh in the camp.....!

We also visited a village with both samburus and turkanas.

And finally we made a "Canon stop" at the Equator.

The middle of the world

I enjoyed the weekend so much. A great combination of wildlife and culture in the village.
Kenya is GREAT!
