SAMBURU NATIONAL GAME PRESERVE |
| We spent two nights at Samburu which is named after a local tribe. The accomodations were pretty plush and the game drives just got better. The Ewaso Nyiro River runs through this 116 square mile National Park which typifies Kenya grassland plains. One nice thing about being in rolling hills grassland is that we had long-range visibility on the game drives and our guides used this to our very great advantage. More than once we would stop and hear the guide muttering "That Impala is watching something out there; I wonder what it is?" Usually it meant a big cat predator and we would drive off looking for it. |
| The Samburu Serena Lodge: is luxury living in the bush. It is one of a series of Serena Hotels and ours was great. It is right on the Ewaso Nyiro River which drew in wildlife and was a source of enjoyment all by itself. | ||
| The Game Drives: There were four
drives here. Since it is a National Park there are no night drives.
At night we ate dinner and crawled into bed.
