Some Kenyan Widlife

This was a gruelling safari, twelve days of bone shattering journeys and game drives, some at 6.30 in the morning (before breakfast) but it was all worth it.
Cheetahs are declining in number and Leopards very elusive.
We only saw one of each very briefly on the last day!!
We had a mix of weather, never hot and sometimes very cool and even abandoned our first game drive on the Masai Mara due to rain.

Amazing pictures Strongy.....you are so lucky to have been able to see them in the wild.

It was an amazing experience, the Lodges were great and the scenery was stunning (pics to follow). At the risk of overdoing it here are some more.


Something to laugh about?
