Day 2 on Samburu Game Reserve and Kalama Game Reserve
After an endless night where sleep proved elusive rose to a cup of hot water and after ablution made my way with the help of trusty samburu guard to the public areas . ..we had agreed to meet and depart at 0600 with a picnic breakfast in order to head to the reserve to see what we could see . The beautiful Somali Ostrich strutted about as the sun rose . This magnificent ecosystem is home to the special five …the reticulated giraffe, the grevy zebra, the beisa oryx , the somali ostrich and the gerenuk…..Well the morning spent in the reserve yielded sightings of all of these in addition to the Patriarch of lions in the ecosystem who looked to be in very good shape and a mother Cheetah with her three “teenagers” who looked to be in search of a good meal but the prey wasn’t co-operating. Breakfasting on the banks of the Ewaso Nyiro River was quite special as giraffe and elephant drank water a short distance away. We finally arrived back tired, well roasted by the sun and ready to enjoy a Saruni Lunch and well needed siesta!!
