Entrance to Samburu National Park.
And the game drive begins. First, the Gazelles, with the Weaver Bird's nests in the Flattop Acacia tree that dot the landscape. The nests have two entrances so the birds have an escape hatch should a snake invade the nest.
Dik-dik's were everywhere. Couldn't help singing Old McDonald had a farm with a Dik-dik here, a dik-dik there......
Never got tired of watching the giraffes. This park has the reticulated giraffe.
Grevy's zebras
Impalas...
baboons...
Our first leopard blended into the environment perfectly.
The second leopard slept in a tree above us.
The first of two female lions ignored us as we drove by.
One lion stopped traffic.....lying in the road.
You wouldn't think an elephant could "hide" so easily, but this one emerged from behind a bush next to the road.
...the Oryx...
...the Wart hogs...whose tails stand upright when they run.
...the Gerenuk...
...and the tortoise
Pretty good for the first day on a game drive before we even got to the lodge.
