Kenya Safari

[hick]

Well, what the hell.

It's fun to share.

I put this thread up on that otter forum and a short time later, it closed.

So, sorry former arjarners, this is a repeat.


In 2015, the wifey and I had signed up for a Kenyan safari and were not disappointed.

Here's the trek:

Kinda' cheesy - I agree.

[hick]

[hick]

Zebras,...ahhh...cool the first day or two, then,.....dime a dozen.

[hick]

Males are total loners most of the year. Strutting their stuff out in some little backwater.

The elusive black rhino.

This shot took over an hour (about 50 snaps) and this is the best I could get.

[hick]

Hungry Hippos

[hick]

Protected...but I'd lay odds they are delicious.

[hick]

2 white rhinos and 2 water buffaloes

[hick]

[hick]

Nile croc

[hick]

Wildebeest migration was going on...

[hick]

Thomson's Gazelle



Klipspringer


Both certainly delicious.

[hick]

Waterbuck's are tough to capture. Guide said I got lucky. Meh - bring on the Apex predators.

[hick]

4 wives showing. Exhausted bugger.

[AntRobertson]

Nice one! Reminds me of my trip to Zimbabwe.

[misskit]

Where did you stay in Masai Mara?

[hick]

Royal Mara Safari Lodge, I believe.

Accoms were all a part of the package, so we just went with the flow and, I gotta' say....each place we stopped was fan-freekin-tastic!

One night was in "executive tents."

[hick]

Not particularly enamored by our presence.

[hick]

Time for a coffee break.


Our guide (opposite me) was tops. Full of knowledge about history, people, weather, topography and of course could name every bit of flora and fauna seen and unseen.

Pack of young males sleeping it off.

Fresh off a kill. Can still see the tinges of blood around the mouth.
